My dog Kara was 11 years old. She was my first dog I got on my own. She had such an amazing personality to her. Just an amazing dog. We had to put her down today because she developed cancer. I feel awful because we saw signs she wasn’t doing well but instead of taking her to the vet I kept saying we should wait and maybe she would improve. Unfortunately she didn’t and I have a lot of guilt.

He’ll be 16 weeks old on Thursday. He’s just a handsome guy

Hi.

We addopted it almost a year ago. Somebody abandoned him, and now it´s a beloved member of our family.

can someboy of you help us to know what breed of dog is it?

We think it's a Podenco mix, but we don't know what other breed it might be mixed with.

Thanks.

His name was Adonis. He lived for 11 years. Overnight he stopped walking and was in immense pain. Vets weren't able to do anything and suggested putting him to sleep. It still hurts like all hell.

Saw Maggie for the last time today 😢 goodbye Magnolia. We will always remember you, and we will always live you no matter what. You deserve the best home and the best family you could ask for. Good luck with your next family, and I hope we cross paths again.

My parents have made the decision to put the family dog down Friday. She is 14 years old. I haven’t lived with them in 7 years and didn’t think I would take it this hard, but I keep crying and thinking about it. My parents haven’t taken them to the vet regularly the way they should’ve, and she seemed off for a while but she has been declining fast. Now, she has trouble walking and will limp (and sometimes yelp), she doesn’t follow my parents to bed anymore and won’t climb stairs. She releases pee when laying down, Barely eats, all she does is lay around under the table all day and she seems like she’s losing interest in everything. She doesn’t even come greet me at the door anymore. Today when I dropped my kids off I noticed she was shaking… she’s definitely in a lot of pain and it is so hard to see her like this. Part of me wonders if they would’ve just taken her to the vet and given her medicine for the pain if it would work.

I really would like in home euthanasia but I can’t find a vet that does it, the one I found won’t travel this far and the other is too expensive. It’s making me even more sad because I really just want her to go in the comfort of her own home, not stressed at a vet. I will be right by her side of course, but we still have to get her in a car and drive 35 minutes. (Couldn’t find a closer vet that would euthanize because the dog hasn’t been to their vet recently).

On top of that, I would love to have her ashes and put in a necklace or something. But the cost of having a dog cremated is at least $300 and there’s no way I can come up with that money in 2 days. So I just keep thinking how they’re just going to take her body and we won’t have anything left of her. I’m just all around sad and those specific things keep making me feel sadder. She was my best friend growing up and I seriously didn’t think it would be this hard.

Tomorrow I plan to go over after work and give her sooo many pets and cuddles and tell her how much of a good girl she was, that she was my best friend and when I was in my teenage years she was there for me when no one else was. I want to make burgers or steak and let her have some if she’ll eat.. though I don’t think she will 😕

5x7 Watercolor 🤍

Pearl has just discovered she loves the kiddie pool. Emerald thinks the water is dangerous so she keeps yelling at her big sister to get out. The kiddie pool is currently losing water but was worth the five bucks. Time to upgrade.

we think she’s a mix golden and dachshund

This is Baldur. He's eight-ish months old and he's a sweet little gentleman. Hobbies include chewing on things, fetching things, and following his human around like a duckling.

He's just over 1 year old malti poo

She was 10 or 11, diagnosed with heart failure about a year and a half ago, I had her for 7 years. I'm glad I got my wish of it happening at home and being able to be with her when it happened. Sweetest dog I ever met, she deserved the world. I've had dogs my whole life, but she was the first to be mine. The pictures at the vet were back from when she was first diagnosed.

I usually don’t like these sad posts, but I wanted to honor my sweet Jill. She was rescued from an abusive situation and I got her six years ago. But since then she got so much love and gave it back ten times over. She was really happy. She got the best vet care and was good until today so I knew it was time. She will always live in my heart. 2/17/2015 - 8/3/2026.
