Saying goodbye

[Ericthesnail]

My heart is breaking as I’m having to say goodbye to my rescue Jack Russell tomorrow. He is 14 years old and had kidney problems. He can’t eat without being sick afterwards and is straining to defecate. He doesn’t want to go for walks and no longer wags his tail. He is now just existing and not living and I know this is the right thing to do but I can’t stop crying.

So sorry op.. We had our ddog pts last month.

A day of favourite treats and a nice walk.

And try not to feel guilty... A gentle planned passing is the final gift to our beloved ddogs...

Sending you a hug.
We went through this 2 weeks ago with our lovely 11 year old boy who developed septic arthritus- leaves such a big hole in your life but we take comfort that he's no longer in pain and he had a happy well loved life.

I am so sorry. It's the right thing to do. Jacks are the best 🐶
Try to be brave tomorrow and take care of yourself.

It’s tough but it’s the right thing to do. I lost my boy late last year, it was hard

Sending so much love.

We had to say goodbye to our 15 up JRT last year when she started to have mini strokes. It was the hardest thing to do even though we knew it was the right thing to do. Be kind to yourself.

I'm so sorry for you and your boy, my dog was PTS 2 days ago and I am completely broken. She had a truly horrible start to life but I'm not going to derail your thread by telling it.
I came here to tell you that there is no hierarchy of grief. You will grieve for your boy as much as you would for any human (possibly more) and that's ok. He's part of your family, please don't feel that your grief for a beloved animal should somehow be 'less' because he's a dog.
I decided yesterday that anyone who remotely suggested that my girl was ' just a dog ' would get punched in the face. Fortunately nobody has.
Huge sympathy x
