My 6 year old dog died and I keep crying like a little bitch. AMA

[MonsterSteve]

I have 2 little Mr Maloonigan type dogs. Love these lil mugs more than most humans. Anyways last week the younger one who just turned 6 was being a bit sluggish and just not acting himself so I took him to the vet and they ran all the tests, nothing out of sorts, just keep doing what you're doing and if he stays that way they will run the blood tests. Well obviously nothing improved and the blood showed that he was in full blown AIDS (jk), kidney failure and there was really nothing to do except for submitting him to an animal hospital where they could do lots of tests and dialysis but the cost would be insanely expensive like thousands per treatment and the quality of life would be shit. So of course I declined and we just took him home and loved him until his body started shutting down. The vet said he wouldn't be in pain but towards the last few days I could tell he wasn't enjoying life with how much he couldn't stay still, constantly moving around all the time trying to get comfortable. I made an appointment to put him down but the earliest they had was 12pm but then luckily my lil mugs heart gave out at 10am saving me a trip to the Vet, although not really b/c I had to bring his corpse there to get cremated.

I'm actually glad its over b/c the worst part was seeing him not being himself and looking at me and I can tell he's thinking 'cmon man, help me out'. 6 years old though? BARELY. Too short of a life. I guess shih tzus are one of those breeds that are high on the spectrum to getting kidney displasia as pups and its one of those things that you don't notice until its too late unless you get lucky and a vet spots it in blood work. I feel so guilty. No dog should have such a short life. Plus all the time I spent just doing random shit liek playing videogames or chatting on here while he was wanting to play scratching at my chair and me taking for granted how much time we will have together. Anyway I just needed to vent a little bit. It helps. Any of yall lost a pet?

FAWK.

TLDR: I'm gay and my dog died.

It's ok Jesus needed him you be together again, child

I’m sorry to hear that brotherman. I’m a dog owner myself and I’d be devastated if I had to go through that.

 

[TorpidSloth]

Sorry to hear it bro

 

[satanssockpuppet]

Only six years old, that's a real tough one, man. I lost my nineteen-year-old cat last year, and I'm still not really over it. Hang in there, and honor its memory by applying everything you've learned into your other present and future pets.

 

[TorpidSloth]

If it'll cheer you up any, my sister's dog died when he was one year old. Ran full speed straight into a perspex sliding door and broke his neck. Dolt.

Sorry to hear Brotherman. The vet industry is cruel and manipulative. I think you did the right by letting your dog pass in settings they're familiar with. Thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

 

[Not Child.]

OP probably has a sister like Hildy's or a brother like Turk but comes from a society where they cut ties from family and then replace the emotional and other bonds by investing it on dumb animals, lol.

 

[ElectricLightKazooII]

Sorry to hear this, brotherman. My folks just had to put down their sixteen year-old Chow mix last week. Poor guy had doggy dementia and would just pace at night, lost. He was such a eccentric but great dog. I was a mess that day, myself. Love ya, miss ya, Pete.

Eternal Father, we bring you our grief in the loss of (name of pet). We thank you for the joy and companionship (he/she/they) brought into our lives. We commit (his/her/their) soul into your loving hands. May (pet's name) find peace and rest in your eternal embrace. Grant us the strength to bear this loss and the grace to remember the love that (he/she/they) shared with us. Amen

What's the etiquette to reactions in these types of threads? I'm thinking Collin is the most respectable?

 

[TravisPickle]

Chin up little nigga. It gets easier.

 

[Dennyislife]

I am never getting a pet again putting them down is truly awful.

It sounds horrible but getting a new puppy will cheer you up and make you forget about the stuff you had to just deal with. Boxers have the same problem your dog did so avoid those too.

 

[GloryHoleTorqueH]

Sorry to hear brotherman. It's a tough one having to put them down especially with the (((vets))) only making them worse after you pay. You did the right thing letting him go in a comfortable home setting

 

[Jen_Tomlinson]

I keep getting more pets lol. Putting them down is one of life’s worse experiences. Sorry for your loss op

 

[MeansTARD]

Look at the bright side, you'll save money on peanut butter

 

[Torque’sHeadBump]

RIP to your dog, sir.

Sad that a critter like him only gets 6 years but Rick’s stupid ass cats and lizard get more. God is FAWKED UP sometimes but he needed a friend. Your dog is in heaven with Qadan.

She hates getting her injections so she won't sit still then I get mad because she's gonna die without it and feel bad about calling her a dumb faggot. But then then little Bobby Sands ass nigga won't eat the special food I got her.
