My dog is dying

I'm depressed reading these posts & I don't even own a dog. I'm not reading anymore.

Omg, my thoughts exactly. Saddest thread ever...but in a good, cathartic kind of way. I'll keep reading.

I'm shocked at all the gross pussyitis on display here. After you're done with the tissues, shove them up your twats.

Just who the hell are you? And what the hell is a pICAYUNE?

It is a play on words. He feels he is trivial and of little value. He is right about that.

just hang in there, man... it gets better. i tear up when i think about how awesome my black lab was, and he died many years ago. they truly are man's best friends. it gets better once the grief goes away. just cherish your memories together, and don't go splurging for a new puppy!

Remember the good times and hang on in there

Make your dog's last moments on earth as good as they can be.

To the OP, I feel for you man. I take the companionship of a dog over an untrustworthy human any day. Mourning will be painful, and take time to heal. But if you love this dog and feel helpless against saving his life, adopt another one. You may have lost that dog, but you will be saving another in his honor. Good luck bro...

Where do dogs go when they die? I mean, they are living, with thoughts, and all that other human type shit. Are we the only ones with an afterlife?

I've always wondering if what we set up only works for us.

My yellow lab is on his last legs too. I'm keeping him going on prednisone for a few more weeks. Shit f***ing sucks.

Prednisone actually killed my dog. He had a weakened immune system, and the vet said that the prednisone made that worse (while helping with his other problems) and that is probably what killed him.

Sorry for your loss. Just don't be one of those people that misses work and goes around moping over an animal. You can always get a new one that looks pretty much the same.

I wish my dog would die.

That MF'er just went up and peed on the side of our bed while we were home.

Don't miss work because your dog died? What business is it of yours what reasons people have for taking personal days? You earned them so that you can use them for whatever reason you want. That's what a personal day is. If people can use them to go fishing, I can take one when my dog dies.

I left for 1 hour and by the time I got back he had eaten an entire loaf of banana bread off the counter and dug through the trash. This was after he went on a 2 mile warm up with me, so he shouldn't have been that wound up. He definitely has separation anxiety. He knows when he does something wrong, too. When I come back and he has done something, he slinks around, ears tapered back, and then I know to look for something.

My dog follows me everywhere, will whine on the other side of a door if that's what separates us, and will wait at the door and whine when I'm not there. I've only had him for 2 years (got him when he was 3) now, so we've got a good 8-10 more years together. I can't imagine losing him after that long. I know I'm gonna bawl and will probably have to take time off work. I tear up just thinking about it and reading this thread.

Good luck to the OP with your loss.

I agree

Sorry to hear it brother. Dogs are awesome. They also die, and it's sad.

Maybe if you save some of his DNA, he can be cloned later....Arnold did it....

My dog died during a time of my life when everything was in the shitter at once and I felt like she was my only true friend. I loved that dog so much, and just thinking about her kind of makes me a little teary-eyed. Wow... she was the best friend you could ever have. But she died, and I still cried about it two years later when I was feeling lonely, but I'm okay now. I think back to when she was a puppy and would crawl around on me when I slept outside on our porch, or when she would run in and out of our snow cave like it was the most joyful thing she'd ever done, or how'd she always try and get up and go and happily greet me even though she had hip displasia and always limped around after she'd been laying down. She was a great dog.

Dogs don't live forever... their passing is just part of having them. I don't really know what to say, other than you will get through this. Try to remember happy times. I'm sure your knows you love him/her, and that's all most dogs really want.

Sorry for your loss.
