Fucking cutting onions man!
IHadToThinkOfSomething
When the time comes, you do the right thing.

My doggo and I are both lying down sharing a couch, he is sleeping and I am bubbling with tears after watching this. Sad thoughts but true

Who the fuck is cutting onions?!?!?!
StevieMcSteveface
The cruelest joke life ever played was giving our pets such short life spans.
prufock
Maybe you're just choosing the wrong pets.
WillThereBeBeer
Damn. I lost my rottie recently and this really hit hard.

Still the best deal man ever made.

(1) Oh fuck you. I mean yeah it's true, & horrifically beautiful, but on my one break in a 12 hour shift that's really 14 as an RN and you
Drop me to tears. Here's your damned upvote. I hope your heart fills with joy.
OnePieceRoboFranky
When your doggo goes beyond and crosses over the rainbow bridge they just get to wait for their owner to follow them.
ifyoutakemeseriouslythatsonyou
Yes, you do all of that BUT you also let them go a little too soon, rather than too late. They deserve that much, even if it hurts.
AndreasKjell
Wtf OP! I need to hug my dog now, and everyone else's dogs too.
maybeitstreason
that first fall.. right in the feels

Yes, it sucks when a pet dies but the whole choir in the background and sappy music is too much for me.

I just had to put down my 14 y/o Australian Shepard two nights ago. Though absolutely true, this was extremely hard to watch right now....
LaManuka
@OP, I'm not sure if condolences are in order, but if they are, I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Thank you but this is not my dog, it’s about dogs in general when they get old.
iwanttobebobdylan
We said goodbye to our 14 yr old yellow lab on Sunday ...
Thank you, I wasn't sure. But I'm pretty sure that someone's cutting a whole lot of onions up in here!!!

Oh man. I showed my man this and he hasn't stopped crying :( i realize bow that he feels terrible he wasn't there when his yellow lab died:(

I thought this was going to be about getting him a doggy pram for walkies! I was about to go to sleep!

Makes sense. People are encouraged to have a varied diet for nutritional reasons yet most people just give their dog the same food always

servingmytimeinusersub
Was there a particular brand you used? Asking for the absolute best of friends.
I found Cosequin Maximum Strength Plus MSM Chewables from Sam's and the difference is pretty huge. It is still rough but he gets around now.
I don't know the brand. We just got it at the local pharmacy. It's 30 years ago though. I know a friend of mine had a similar result with 1/
their dog after I told them about it. With our dog, it was amazing.

Please tell me more, what are trace minerals. Curious to try for my aging cat.

We just got them at the pharmacy in Denmark. But it's 30 years ago, so I can't give you much information.
[deleted]
Thank you so much and absolutely touching story!
Thank YOU. I'd hoped that would get some attention, but it went no where. I'm glad you read it and something came of it.
SpikedDoggos
And For the love of f**k, be there with them! I know of too many stories where the owners won't be in the room :/
theduckening
Heck some won't show for human family. "Too difficult to see them go". Not doing it for us staying, it's done for those leaving.
iraslak
I was there, holding her paws. Even in the final moments she tried to lick my tears away.
CatchTheDuffman
I held my dog while he died too. He was sick in my hair.
AMRIV
They'll look for you! Don't let their last thoughts be "Where's my human?"!
FakePlasticTreehugger
My cat went out purring with me rubbing his chin. It hurt to watch him go, but seeing him that happy in his final moments gave me closure.
NinjaGrizzlyBear
This is why we hired a vet to come to our house, my whole family was around him. We wrapped him in his favorite blanket too
Icommentandpostmypets
When I was 17 my dad refused to let me go with him when they had to put down my aging dog. This was the dog they got me at 1 year old.
Akreyeiu
IMadeAnAccountForThisFuckingSobStory
Took 30 seconds for mine to go from sitting uncomfortably to asleep and then gone. But I hugged him the whole time.
Macmhartain
I did that ONCE! And I STILL can't forget the look on his face, and still feel like shit about it after 20 years... Been with every other
TheGreatPenguini
My mom didn’t even tell me my Spikey was being put down until after & said she just couldn’t be in the room?I still pray 4 his forgiveness ?
ubatuba3000
Those stories aren’t true. I’ve been doing this 24 years. Very few people can’t take the pain. Most of them are there, and we all cry. :(
henrygolden
Yes! People say “oh, it’s just too painful to watch”. Idiots. It’s not about you, it’s about the one that has given you so much love.
AnActualTsundere
Yeah. I was there for my car until very last moment and that's something that gives me more closure...
TheSilverSeraph
So much this. I could not imagine not being there for our cat’s last moments in this world
Rimbox
Saddest thing for a dog to be left in a room with a stranger (vet) in its last moments, panicking and looking around the room for its owner
QueensTambit
They tried to make me leave my dog at the door in the first lockdown.. I never took it for an answer and went from vet to vet til I could.
Update: I rescued another one, he was negleected as a pub, has behavioural issues but he's getting on great.
undeadyesunpersonno
Our vet came to my folks’ back garden during lockdown for our old collie. Very grateful to him for that.
angryregistrar
Mine set us up under their maple tree in the parking lot. We couldn't go in, so they all came out. It was less scary for my pup, who didn't
have to go in, she hated the vet's. So for her it was a nice ride, a snack, and a nice soft blanket to lay on..
MadamPuddifoot
Yo this broke my heart. Hugging my girl extra hard right now.
I’m glad for her and for you.
Cucumberclouds
This was the same for us. June 2020. RIP Mia.
mynamespaul
I agree, but should we really try to make people feel *more* like shit about one of their saddest memories?
RickyTickyB
They are part of your life. You’re all of theirs.
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
This. It does not get easier if you are outside, but at least you wont regret having had the chance for last moments with your friend.

I found out my mom was putting down my cat the day it happened. I'm so grateful my sister was there with him and am forever (1/2)

1 1/2 years ago. Dad, Mom and Me were there. Dad never cries. But he did that day. Our 16 year old Jack Russell got the sedative first (1/2)

sammehdee89
I took my 17yr old cat in, he spent the whole time wrapped in his favourite blanket and they let me hold him for the whole thing. I couldn't
imagine it being any other way.
drbloodbathmc
Had to put my cat down a few weeks ago. What we though was diabetes was cancer. Held her for it and would do it again for my next one.

As someone who worked at a vets for YEARS and that was one of my main jobs ( to euthanize)…please PLEASE stay with your dogs….
