My beautiful boy had a fit an hour ago and has lost movement in his back legs.

He’s almost 14. We’ve called the vet and they’re coming out as soon as the can to do the kindest thing, but it could be hours. I’m sitting with him, hand feeding him treats and giving him so much love, he’s his usual happy self but his body is saying no more. If he worsens I will of course take him to the vet, but he hates the vet and I’d like him to go at home where he feels safe.

I feel like my heart is breaking, he saved my life all that time ago and I can’t imagine him not being here.

I’m so sorry OP. It’s such a privilege to share your time with a precious dog and they are so sorely missed when they go. What a lucky boy he’s been to have you too. Sending strength 💐

I have never cried over anything the way I cried when I lost my black lab.

Sending hugs. 💐💐💐

What a lovely boy 💙 and what a beautiful way to spend his last few hours on earth - in his own home surrounded by his family. Thinking of you at this difficult time

Dogs live in the moment. He knows you are there and are showing him love. Let him look into your eyes, it gives them a dopamine rush, oxytocin maybe, the love hormone! He won't understand why you're sad, he's just living in the moment so do your best to hold it together ♥️💔

I still can't accept mine has gone, after leaving me so suddenly. And it's been years. I wish the vet had offered me a paw print or some of his hair cuttings. It was horrible that he was just fine one day, gone the next.

Sorry, one last thing. When it gets hard, and you miss him, it's because he filled so much of your heart with love. Your home full of his personality. It hurts because he was loved, and that's special. He will have felt it. It's a shame they don't live as long as us, but what a privilege it is to spend all of their lives with them.

I’m so sorry OP. You are absolutely doing the right thing to let him go on a high whilst he’s still got his dignity and before he suffers any pain x

remotecontrolledphone · 28/03/2026 07:48

So sorry Op, I lost my lovely dog 18 months ago, I still sometimes forget he’s gone just for a split second I’m excited to see him and then reality crashes through. I’ve loved and missed him more than I can express. You and your boy were lucky to find each other.

Thank you everyone, for your lovely words and for keeping me company while I wait.

This is him a few years ago.

What a beautiful boy. ,😢

My heart is breaking for you 🤎

What a beautiful boy.
Thinking of you.

FiveShelties · 28/03/2026 08:43

I am so very sorry. It is so unbelievably difficult to lose a much loved pet, he will know how loved he is.

BetterWithPockets · 28/03/2026 08:51

Oh OP, I’m so sorry. He’s such a beautiful boy. We lost our boy last October and I still feel bereft, but I try to remind myself that the grief is our last way of honouring them (if that makes sense). Sending love to you. Xx

VickyEadieofThigh · 28/03/2026 09:06

Sending love.

Dogs are given to us to teach us about unconditional love. They leave us when they've taught us all they can.

Bless you and your lovely dog. xxxx

loislovesstewie · 28/03/2026 09:12

I'm so sorry. Your beautiful boy knows you love him and he loves you unconditionally. His journey over the rainbow bridge will be painless, he will go to sleep with the person who loves him most and who he loves most. Fly high sweet boy. 💔💔💔

HarryBlackberry1 · 28/03/2026 13:07

I'm so very sorry. He will be at peace, and he's had a wonderful life with you. Chocolate labs are so very special. Sending love x

familyissues12345 · 28/03/2026 14:01

Oh he’s beautiful 💕. It’s definitely the hardest part of having a furry family member x

user1492757084 · 28/03/2026 14:10

How very hard for you both. He will relax in you being near.

TheHouse · 28/03/2026 14:11

Sending love. It’s always so sad but your boy had a lovely life by the sounds of it ♥️ .

Luckypoppy · 28/03/2026 14:24

Sending love x

Theseventhmagpie · 28/03/2026 14:30

I don’t know what to say to you OP other than I know your pain. They are such beautiful creatures and an honour to share our lives with.
Sending love.
💐

Fleurdalys · 28/03/2026 15:18

So very sorry 😢
Been there but I was comforted by the fact she fell asleep at home with her family surrounding her.
Hope you are holding up, sending love 💕

SergeantWrinkles · 28/03/2026 15:44

I’m so sorry op. I hope you’re ok. I’m going through something similar with my girl and I’m just hoping she pulls through. The next 48 hours will be crucial. Sending hugs.
