Saying goodbye to my dog tomorrow and I’m so sad

[Dontthinkthrice]

We discovered a few weeks ago that my dog is terminally ill 🥺 it’s such a shock and she’s only 9. I expected to have her for another few years yet as she’s always been so healthy.
She was my first own dog, she came before my children and she’s just beautiful. The kindest, most gentle little thing.
We’ve got to say goodbye to her tomorrow, I can’t keep her going any longer, she has no quality of life. I can’t stop crying.

I have two other dogs, one is also absolutely lovely but the other… we share a mutual dislike for each other (my husband wanted her, she came in and totally upset the apple cart). She started growling at my dog last night when she was just looking for some comfort and it’s making me despise her even more. I’m feeling so much guilt for allowing this other dog into our life.

I just needed to write down how heartbroken I am really.

It's the absolute worst. They share so much of your life and their rapid decline is terrible to witness. You are making the right decision for your beloved dog. I have had to do it twice. The anticipation of the event is almost as bad as the actuality. Both mine were ready to go and it was very peaceful. But yes, cried buckets and still well up, thinking of DDog1's demise 17 years ago, let alone DDog2 almost 2 years ago.

I know it is hard, but I always take peace in knowing we can help our 4 legged friends by ending their suffering. Can you separate the dogs for the day, so you can have some special time, cook them some sausages or chicken? Sending hugs at this terrible time xx

Sending hugs. We lost our cat a couple of weeks ago. Complete shock. We got home and he was dead on our bed. It's the worst thing.

We had to say goodbye to our girl who was 9 yesterday after a very short illness. Try to separate them for her last few hours and give her all the cuddles and love you possibly can. The first 24 hours are the hardest, allow yourself to cry and look at pictures/remember memories. One quote someone said to me today really has stuck ‘it’s only the ones who get left behind that suffer’. I believe we are sad because we have so much more love to give but they’ll no longer be there to receive. Try to give your love to your other fur babies. Sending huge hugs, I’m hopeful time will be a great healer xx

I'm so sorry. I had to say goodbye to my beloved boy last year and it broke my heart. Sending you strength and kindness for tomorrow 💐

I’m so sorry. It’s the hardest, but kindest, decision to make. As a loving owner, you know when it’s the right choice. Love and thoughts with you.
