I can't read this thread. I'll start tearing up like I do when I hear Stapleton sing "Maggie's song".
Bless you though (and your family). You guys need the prayers because of the hurt.
I've always said "I'll never be that guy", but now with my golden doodle Henry, he rides with me daily to get CFA in the morning or Lowe's to get yard stuff, or sometimes just on a joy ride with his head out the sun roof. Or brings me his soccer ball every evening for a game. We think everything he does is hilarious, and gets by with much more than any of our kids ever did lol.
I can't imagine when that time comes, it makes me sick thinking about it.
Same. We had our (my) first dog as a family pet for 17 years and dumb me thought, well, I'll take him to the vet and do what needs to be done and go to work afterwards. Wrong. I was a mess the rest of the day. They're definitely family and it sucks to lose them.
A pet is a part of your time on this planet but you're their entire life so it makes sense they love so unconditionally for as long as they're around.
Sorry OP you're going through it, tough time for sure.
