always cringed at these "my dog died" post in the past. and I will admit I have been eating crow for 24 hours now. It hurt like hell and doesnt feel much better today. 12-year-old black lab. she tore her acl last year (back left leg) and has been on prednisone for about 2.5 years to help her from breaking out in blisters from head to paw. monday her back right leg finally gave out and she gave me a look I will never forget. I felt lower than the ground, but picked her 90lb arse up and carried her under the patio where she wouldnt overheat. I love and miss you Bella! Thank you for the best childhood a boy could ever ask for!

She isn't in pain anymore.

Your last act was one of mercy.

You're a good man.

Sorry to hear that, it's the worst thing I've ever had to do. Just be glad you were strong enough to let her go and not linger on in pain.

That is incredibly sad, but you did the right thing. She isn't an pain anymore and sounds like you gave her a good life.

Dogs are awesome.

I had to put down my boy Roscoe in Nov of 2020 and still think about that little badass. It's hard to let go of friends but the right thing to do for your dog when they are suffering.

We put our 13 year old chihuahua down to liver cancer a few months ago. I stayed with her to the end even though it hurt.

Been there done that. My tears fell in every grave I had to dig. Live long enough and this will happen over and over. The price that you pay for love. But, you will morn and later get another. The pain is worth the joy and love that you shared. Sorry for your loss.

Go in your notes app and start writing down every good memory you have of her. You’ll forget them if you don’t.

I am thankful for her and you that you were there to move her out of the sun. The rest of your (plural) day was spent doing what had to be. You did well.
