    I went through this with my cat a couple months ago. Had him for 15 and a half beautiful, fuzzy years. I’m just glad that everything hit him all at once in the last couple weeks of his life so it was really obvious his time had come. I held him sleeping on my chest for the last 5 or 6 hours before it was time. Now I’m all gucked up thinking about it.

    Fuck cancer.

    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

    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.

    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 😭

    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 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.
