Dog has cancer

[ctrous25]

My baby of 9 and 1/2 years just got diagnosed with bladder cancer she has only a few days left. I don’t know what I’m even doing right now. My wife and I have no kids yet. She was with me since she was 12 weeks old. She was a brindle and white puppy and had little freckles on her face where the brindle and white meet. Her name is Dallas and I didn’t name her it was her name when I got her. Meant to be. These next few days will be the hard to say the least. She and our other dog are our world. Thanks for letting me vent

Know exactly what you're going through, man. That is tough. I pray your pup is comfortable and I can tell you will be with her all the way. She is a lucky dog and you will think about her very fondly for the rest of your days. If you haven't already, every dog owner should see "A Dog's Purpose". Peace.

Sorry to hear, many of us have been through that. Keep your spirits high and spoil that baby until she crosses the pearly gates and focus on the good memories.

Sorry to hear this. I love dogs and have had to put a few to sleep. Just a terrible thing to go through. They're one of the family.

My good friend just lost her dog today.
It's a very tough thing to go through.
They aren't pets. They are members of the family.

You gave her love and the best life she could have.
Be proud that you did that, as a father.

I'm proud of you.
She loves you and...
Damn, She loves you.
As much as you love her.

Prayers and good vibes your way.

I had to put my boy down 10 years ago, and the last two nights I've had dreams that he was still alive. It's good to see him again, if only for a short time.
It was hard to be there when he went, but I owed it to him. Honestly, I think he knew and was looking forward to it. It's the only time he didn't act nervous at the vet's office. He wagged his tail and kissed my face as he drifted off.
The hardest part was wondering if I was doing the right thing, but his quality of life was getting bad. I didn't want him to suffer. His demeanor at the end was reassuring, even as sad as it was.

You are so my brother.
Much love homie.

I'm about to do the same for my second old boy and it's going to tear my heart out, but this thread has actually given me a little bit of catharsis.

When he goes, I'm making a metric shoot-ton of jerky (not from him!) and shooting it out.
You're first on the list.
Next to my new brother-in-law who doesn't know how to make anything, but he's somehow a Doctor...
Gotta teach tha chitlins somtething.
I think I meant to spell it "something".
You never know, though...



LOVE YOU #DALLAS!!!

I'm sorry you and anyone else has to go through this. You'd think it's punishment for having received so much love.

So very sorry to hear this, healing prayers to everyone. They are so very much like family, again prayers to you both during this difficult time.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Two years ago, I had to let go of both of mine, within a few months of each other. I'll never forget the look each of them gave me, at that moment when the decision became clear, and unavoidable. I swear they were asking me to let them go, and telling me it was ok. My girl, couldn't get up, and when I picked her up to carry her to the car she smothered me with kisses and I could feel her body relax in my arms. Took everything I had, to put on a happy face, and sing my dumb songs to her, as she lay on the vet's table.

Both of them, were a hell of a lot stronger than I was.

Thanks for giving your pup a wonderful life.

So sorry for you. It is such a sad experience to have to go through. I still tear up thinking about the dogs I have had to put down. They depend on us and trust us with their lives. But there comes a time when we can't do anything more for them. I hope they knew that. I don't want to think for even a second that they think I let them down. I can still see, vividly, my last little pup looking up at me as I drove her to the vet that last time. She was really in bad shape and I knew she was looking for me to help her as I had done so many times. I could not let myself believe the vet could not fix her up and send her back home with me. I love dogs but I dread the day when it is over for them.

She may not have known you were helping her, but she certainly knew you weren't betraying her...and the same goes for the others. Animals tend to go off to be alone to die, I don't know why. But the fact that you're with them must make them happier than they would have been if you weren't, and letting them suffer to their death seems like the ultimate betrayal to me.

 

[SlammedZero]

Sorry to hear. My condolences. I know the feeling. I wish I had the words to make it feel better for you, but truth is, I don't. I was 1000% not ready for the news when we found out we had to put our dog down. I remember the night we called in a service to have her put down at our home (I felt better letting her go in the comfort of her home vs. a steel slab at a vet office) and they were actually running late. I remember hoping so much that they just wouldn't show up. I have no idea what kind of pain she was in though so I was just being selfish. Anyway, I'm sorry man. Remember the great times you had together and celebrate those memories.
