I did the same with my old Labrador. Steak, beer and a "shot". It was the best last day I could give him.
onyalasagna
Because the magic steak made her better right? RIGHT!?!?

Go to imgur when you're feeling down, they said. It'll be fun they said.

Sending you lots of love, light and might.

My first dog was hit by a car while I was playing fetch with him. That was 14 years ago, and it will haunt me for the rest of my life.

She spent her entire life with a loving family, that's the greatest gift you could have given her.

sammmmmmmmmmich
I'm seriously sobbing. can't stop. :(

I believe OP said, "Caner in ...HER... right front leg"
finallyregistering
I belive I posted this BEFORE he mentioned this
itxtalone
yep. when we put down my last dog, we stopped at McDonalds for a big-mac and fries for him
ialreadyfappedtothat
:( Tough decision but the selfless one. So sorry
NuckFuggets
Yeah... I hate the decision but it's about her not me. She deserves to be pain free.
thegreatquesadilla
This makes me cry. Life is so beautiful until pain appears. I have not words. My soul is confuse. I am crying again.

Excuse me - I need to cuddle my dog now.
NuckFuggets
I can't believe it's been a year since I said goodbye to you. Will always miss you. Left me with a ton of great memories. Love you Nikki.
hannt2233
My guy is 14 and I rescued him when he was 1-1/2. I dread this day, but will let him go out in style in a similar fashion. My condolences...
PuppyDoctor
My girl is hopefully getting to 15 in September. She has her bad days but she's still herself. I dread that day more than anything.
AnotherGayImgurian
Have hope. We rescued ours at 3, in 2008 he was 21 and we finally let him go after a stroke.
Sisyplus
It looks like she had a wonderful last day. You done good, OP.

blameitonmyjuice
Aw, I'm crying. RIP. Lost the last of our childhood pets a few weeks ago. So hard to say good bye to pets even when they're ready to go. :*(
xStabbyMcGee
Hit me right in the feels... real hard. RIP in peace big dog.
IEnjoyFemaleNudes
I was confused until i read this then the tears came

Bug hugs.
lmhdez
OMG, its been a year since we let go of our family dog and we didnt even give her a last dinner. Im so sorry Hillary.
Sisyplus
I'm sure it's the love and care that she rally enjoyed. Yeah, steak is cool, but I don't think that's what a dog lives for.
robronix
First time I cried on imgur, damnit OP I'm a grown assed man!!!
thegr3Ek
THAT'S BECAUSE SHE'S CURED RIGHT OP
tehepix
RIGHT?....…RIGHT OP?
baronridiculous
Yes Joey, she's at the farm with the duck and the chicken. But no visiting! Those are the rules of the farm.
ian9outof10
RIIIIIGHT? It's all going to be okay, isn't it?
WeinerManJenkins
THE STEAK FIXED HER RIGHT? THAT'S HOW MEAT WORKS ISN'T IT?
personguy1000
VIDEO GAMES SAY SO, SO I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IS CORRECT
8bitTunes
I'm glad. I've been sticking to the "find a whole roast in the trashcan after kicking it" diet.
Randomdoogooder
The face you gave her an appropriate last meal tells a lot about you OP. You're a good person. Sorry for your loss.
NuckFuggets
Thanks all. She's in pain no more.
cyberspork
Im glad to hear she isn't in pain anymore, but I'm really sorry for your loss <3
hiilikecats
Had to put my dog down on Tuesday. I've been a mess since. Hoping it gets better. For both of us. At least they aren't suffering anymore<3

Sorry OP. But a damn fine way to send her onward.
MakisDad
Up in doggy heaven, here's the thing. You trade your legs for angels wings. And once we've all said goodbye. You take a running leap 1/?
MakisDad
And you learn to fly 2/?
NorthwoodsBound
Commenting to remember this. I'm not crying. I'm not.

I was all sad and then I saw your username and it made me laugh

Rezanon
Everyone needs to learn from this. THIS is what a responsible animal owner does. This is what people need to do more often. I worked (1/?)
Rezanon
in the vet field for a bit. She refused to put her cancer-ridden dog down because she couldn't take it. After 2 weeks, I came in (2/?)
Rezanon
on Thanksgiving to check on everyone and the dog died, alone, in a pool of its own vomit, urine, and feces. I wanted to smack her (3/?)
Rezanon
dumb selfish face. She let that dog die alone, in pain. I swore that I would never let it happen again. And just a month ago, (4/?)
Rezanon
I made that choice myself. To put down my pet, when things weren't at their worst. To be by their side in the end, no matter how hard (5/?)
Kable
be strong OP you did right
Dontevenbotherasking
My sister just had to put down her cat. I feel for you :/

I'm sorry for your loss friend. My lab had cushings and cancer. It's been years, I miss her every day. Wish my ex hadn't stolen her ashes...
V0rpalSw0rd
I love the succinctness of OP in the case. Not "thank you all so much blah blah" just letting us know that' she's in a better place

ravenclawesome
I understand this is comforting to some, but in my family it just upsets us. When we put our dog down we got comfort from saying 1
ravenclawesome

acydable
That damn reading always brings me to tears, makes me miss my cat even more ;_;
eyara
Honestly the best thing someone at a vet office can give to you. I had to put one of my pups (16 y/o teacup poodle) down and it helped a bit
boomer0001
Hugs to you my friend
jToady
It's a very selfless thing, what you did for her. Sorry for your loss, but I'm sure she would thank you.
NuckFuggets
I wanted to be selfish so bad but knew she deserved better than that. I wish dogs could talk just to tell us what to do. Thanks for comment.
rozstar
you did the right thing by giving her a wonderful life and an amazing sendoff. i wish you and your fam the best
myriamnickner
We had to put down our 10 y/0 dog About 9 mths ago. My mom went to the vet the day after i left home for college.He had stomach cancer. Sad
PrincessPindy
I am so sorry, been there, done that and I still miss him.
Oooldfart
Sometimes I think we treat our pets better than we treat our relatives.
YIKEA
thanks for being the best family for her, OP.
mexicanstig
/hug I remember when I lost the first dog i could truely call my own. I cried like a littler girl and it hurt like hell. We're here for ya
IAlwaysUpvoteFirefly
I know that feel. I lost my best friend Buddy when I was younger. He hurt his back protecting me from a Rottweiler 1
smuemoo
I lost my dog at the start of this month. I'm tearing up here :(.
IAlwaysUpvoteFirefly
down. So we had to have him put to rest. I remember being there with him as they put him to sleep. To this day I have never cried that hard3
IAlwaysUpvoteFirefly
that was attacking people in our neighborhood. He was just a little ten pound dachshund but he ended up paralyzed from the mid section 2

Cancer in her right front leg has weakened her bone that she can't walk on it & is risk of breaking. Also has cancer in heart & lungs. (1/2)
Nurple
My Chocolate lab had the same thing before she went. It's been 2 years now, but I still feel as if she's still with me.
SmerkBich
SAME thing happened with my lab. He was my "Once In A Lifetime" dog. I *know* your pain, and I'm really sorry. Shit. Here's the tears.
MissSyn
Sorry OP. Lost my GSD the same way six months ago. I hope you find peace.
PentagramDreams
I lost my baby back in the winter to cancer. I know how hard this is. Thanks for putting her first.
kapp70
I Am so sorry for your loss. I have had to do it and I know the deep emotions you have went through, you are in my prayers.
DaneDown
Lost my dog to the same exact thing. Also made her a steak the last day. You did a great job she looks so happy.
ourmrswashburne
Osteosarcoma sucks. All cancer sucks. I'm sorry, OP.
CryloRen
It's the hardest thing to do but the best thing you CAN do for a pet in the situation. Just know you saved her from pain. <3
AdamV1029
I lost the first dog I can remember similarly, but if it's any consolation, at least she will be pain free?
greymouser7
Peace be with you.
CryloRen
My border collie had cancer in his jaw. Was told his jaw would fall off and he'd starve to death if we didn't put him down. :( I feel you.
DickMercenary
Know that pain. Dog broke her leg falling off a car seat found cancer tried to cast it. Woke up one day to blood all over the living room.
LtDanIceCream
I know that feel OP. Mine had rectal cancer. Vet gave him 6 months, but he went a 18 before he started showing signs. Stay strong.
MaliciousCuntWithoutAReason
Also dude, chocolate. Lots of fucking chocolate.
MaliciousCuntWithoutAReason
Get her all the good stuff. It's not like it'll poison her.
BlondePuppyDoctor
So sorry. Osteosarcoma sucks
FlibbityFoobleBee
SO sorry OP! Never easy to make these decisions for our furbabies. I can tell that you gave her a great life. Take care of your heart!
NuckFuggets
Cooked her a 1.3 lb porterhouse & gave her some ice cream & treats. That's my dad & daughter in the upper right with her. Love you Nikki.

phiya
Give that bitch some chocolates... bitches love chocolates, but they can't have them. In this case, I see no reason she can't.
NoWisdomWithoutRegret
<3 That's all I've got. I'm glad you were able to be there for the evening.
AyeDavanita
Aww, I don't know you but I love you too! Oh wait..you meant the dog Nikki. Not me, the human.
KnowItAllToSurvive
My dog had the same cancer in her right back leg. No other cancer, but I feel your pain OP. I'm here for you, if you need it.
MyRealNameIsPaul
When I was 20, I'd already moved out. But my 16 y/o cat was still there. She got really sick, and my mom called. I took off work, (1/2)
MyRealNameIsPaul
(2/2) spent 50 hours awake, just so I could be wit her during her last breath. Exhausted, I'd buried her by dawn and cried myself to sleep.
IAlwaysUpvoteFirefly
I know how you feel. I had to end my best friends suffering when I was younger. I'm sorry for your loss
kevinjorg
just stay with her for the last moments...show her you really love her to the end
ian9outof10
After that vet came in and told us all that if you leave they look for you, I'd NEVER leave.
kevinjorg
right on man
bigjc87
Sorry for your loss, Im sure she is thanking you!
SlothsinSpace
I had a Nikki when I was little :c He was a border collie german shepherd mix. My parents didn't tell me when they put her down

Aww I'm so sorry. Losing animals is so tough. Looks like you gave her an awesome last day. Hugs!

My dog is having problems in one of his back legs and I really don't want to lose him :(
DonnerVarg
I had a dog named Nikki. She's not around anymore either.
neecheenoir
You did the right thing, and she's been such a lucky girl to have someone with her who's loved her so much right until the end.
CatWithHands
Someone else losing a pet always hits me harder than hearing they lost a human family member...Another dog shaped hole in someone's heart...
thismademefailmyfinals
Oh god, I am so sorry. I had to put down my dog a few months ago because of cancer in her face. She had a similar last meal. Still hurts.
LadyJedi
When I put my cat down, I was so upset I didn't think of giving her a last meal. I will keep this in mind if I ever have to again.
Trollingforloling
I.. I had a dog named Nikki. you made me even sadder from this post right now..

Condolences, OP

She looks so happy in these photos with your dad and daughter and having her ice cream.
