I miss my Daisy. Fuck Addison’s disease.
She’s beautiful
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
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.

I am sorry for your loss. May her memory forever climb mountains alongside you.
I’m not crying you are!
It’s okay, we’re all crying. She was ready
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.
That’s awful. I’m sorry to hear it.
We went through the same thing, I’m so sorry. Keep doing what you’re doing, they very much live at the moment, and you’re her favourite things. The pain is raw, love it’s OK.
Dogs are the definition of the flame that burns brightest, and I know you made every day amazing for her.
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
NOOOOO
I’m so sorry op.
Thank you for sharing her with us. She’s wonderful
:( 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
♥️❤️
Hang in there, she’ll live on within you always
I’m so sorry.
Words are at their most limiting in times like these. Nothing we say does much to fill the hole that losing such a close and loving friend leaves behind. All I know to suggest is trying to focus on the positive memories instead of the terrible loss, but sometimes that isn’t enough.
Whether you need an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on, a place to let go of despair or just a friend to keep your mind busy, we are here for you. Feel free to dm me if you are struggling with things.
Lean on the strength your best friend has undoubtedly shown in the face of the unknown, and find solace in knowing you are giving them your all in return even when it’s the most difficult. Love is powerful.
Hold her as much as possible the entire time, until the end.
I didn’t. It haunts me.
