Lost my dog today and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done because he was still that playful dog in his mind. He was the biggest baby ever, he just couldn’t stand up anymore. I keep thinking it was selfish putting him down now instead of not being lazy and carrying his back legs around everywhere but on the other hand, it’s a 2 man job bringing him up and down stairs as he was 180 lbs (not overweight, he was just a HUGE husky) so I really couldn’t imagine having to walk him around carrying his two back legs 24/7. Like I’m thinking about what was going on in his brain, like if he was thinking “I don’t want to die man, I don’t need my back legs, I got you and the family” but on the other hand it would hurt him just to maneuver into laying down on the other side. It was like it stressed him out not being able to stand up, therefore he was always crying and it would just break my heart. Really what did it for me was I would be alright if the dog didn’t mind laying down forever and just being pat, but everything else would be a big task for him.. what quality of life would that be for a dog wanting to play, but his limbs just refusing to work. I just really hope he somehow knows I did it for him, and I hope he doesn’t disagree with my decision. That’s my biggest thought about it all.. I truly don’t think he was ready to die, and he trusted me, and I feel like I failed him but putting him. I’m trying to tell myself it had to be done, but I feel so guilty.
Just lost my dog today, first time really dealing with loss. My dad didn’t want to stay in there while the dog got put down but I couldn’t fathom being inside my dogs head thinking “where are my owners? They really just gonna leave me here alone?” I’m 23, in there all alone with the same puppy I’ve had since I was 8, man I haven’t felt this kind of pain ever.. wasn’t easy not having my dad in there with me, but as I went outside before it happened he was already waiting and he was crying his eyes out, so that really didn’t help me at all. One thing I wish a bit more was that the vets show a bit more compassion. Like they were treating it just like business. I mean I understand they deal with that kind of stuff all the time, but it’s like they’re just there to work, not for the love of animals. The vets putting my dog down with me seemed upset because they could see my face, but for the actual dog they didn’t really seem to feel that bad so it made me feel even more alone. I also can’t remember if I actually said the words “goodbye buddy” but I was hugging him for a long time and petting him before and after it happened so I think that’s good enough. I just wish I had a vet like Joe did that actually showed some compassion for the dog.
Our German Shepard had the same thing happen to her back legs. As a puppy they just went limp one day. My husband wrapped a sheet around her waist to help her walk etc. After about 2 weeks she woke us up in the morning standing by our bed 😮❤. She's now 2 years old and runs like a track star lol! She's on my page btw. Her name is Bambi.
Don't give up on your pets! And don't get one if you're not willing to go to bat for them.

R.I.P. my boy Miclo. He was a white Persian kitten who died so young smh. My girl was heartbroken & haven’t seen her cry that hard for anything else.
If a dog trusts and loves you, they will show you things thatll blow your mind
