I’m a wreck… Fuck cancer
That’s awful. I’m sorry to hear it.
My dog died very recently and it tore me apart. Ill always miss her putting her head under my hand to get me to pet her.
Miss you Lady
She’s perfect
So sorry for you impending loss. I’m currently in the same boat, and it’s rough. The one silver lining is you get to plan it and make sure your buddy is comfortable and isn’t alone.
I hate that anyone has to go through what I just went through. The universe can be truly cruel sometimes
Me too. If there’s still time, give your buddy a hug from this internet stranger. We set an appointment for mine for tomorrow. It’s so surreal.
Good luck. I’m happy my girl was surrounded by people that loved her at the end. It hurts so much
Lost my wife to cancer. She was 36. Fuck cancer.
I’m so sorry. I can’t even imagine
Be there for them till the end as much as it hurts inside. We don’t deserve the kind of unquestioning love dogs give us.
We really don’t… She hasn’t been alone at all since we found out about her condition. That won’t change tomorrow.
She made such an impression on people that our vet is coming in on her day off to be there with her/us when she goes.
We’re lucky that the veterinarian’s office is hey favorite place in the world. So, she’ll be surrounded by the people that love her in a place she loves to be at 😭
good dog! I just had to say goodbye to mine at the end of September. It’s the toughest thing.
I hope you can take some solace in the fact that you gave her a good life and made her feel loved. May you one day meet again.
I don’t think I could ever give her a life worthy of the love she freely gave to everyone, but I sure did try. Sure saw the biggest trees in the world, she climbed up some of the tapes mountains in the country. She swam in rivers, lakes, and the ocean.
She went everywhere with me
Fuck cancer
Hold her as much as possible the entire time, until the end.
I didn’t. It haunts me.
No-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine they made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.
-Sir Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man
I am sorry for your loss. May her memory forever climb mountains alongside you.
I hope things go well for you and yours. She had a happy, loving life. This kind of hit home for me because my dog looks fairly similar and is getting up there in years for his size. I dread the day. May your beautiful girl RIP.
i had to put down my sweet, loving cat suddenly just this week so my heart goes out to you.
well it was sudden for me at least, for her she’d probably been in pain for months from the cancer =/ i’m so grateful i could spend time with her until the very end and it sounds like you’ve made some amazing memories with yours.
:( how old is she?
She’s only 8
I went through a very similar experience with my dog who was my best friend. It’s been a couple of years now. He also had terminal cancer around the same age. If you need anyone to talk to who can relate, hit me up.
It hit me pretty hard and had me down for a long time. There have been a few things I came to realize while recovering from the grief that I wanted to share.
The first realization that helped me was understanding that I did the right thing letting him go and not making him suffer from cancer. I felt a lot of guilt because I made his last appointment. I don’t know if you’ve felt that or might feel that, but know that you’re doing the right thing, it’s just a very hard thing to do and it makes you an even better person for doing it.
The second realization was that my pup would have wanted me to be happy and that I can choose to honor him through my happiness. This one actually came to me in a dream about my pup where he let me know “life is for the living” and that he’d rather me be happy
The third, and probably most powerful, realization was that the life I gave him was one of the most beautiful things I can comprehend. We all have our time here and then we must go. I feel so unbelievably honored that I was able to make his time here as amazing as possible. He spent his whole life being extremely loved and able to give that love back. He didn’t have to suffer the cancer, or suffer aging and deteriorating. From start to end we were able to make his life amazing, and it sounds like you did the same for your pup. You should be incredibly proud of that.
I still miss him terribly and think about him all the time, but when I think back now I feel incredible pride and happiness. Make sure you get some keepsakes to cherish, we did some plaster paw prints and also cut some of his hair to keep (maybe weird but I don’t mind that.) The keepsakes gave me some comfort and helped me process everything.
My heart is with you, let me know if you need anything an internet stranger can provide <3
♥️❤️
Sorry fam. Lost my lil buddy to cancer 3 years ago. It’s gonna be tough for a while. Hang in there.
