@mrbrain Im so so sorry for your loss

@mrbrain I’m astonished that the decision was to put him down. I’ve never heard that as a solution for a blind dog. Maybe things are different elsewhere (I’m in the US).

 

[mrbrain]

@imagebeastmarkbeast Also us. I didn't put him down because he was blind, it was because he had lost all awareness of the world around him. All he did was eat and asleep and pace the house bumping into walls. Walks were painful slow, he didn't play, smile, wag his tail. When I picked him up from the vet he didn't even acknowledge me. When I got home from work Wednesday he didn't want to get out of the kennel and by thursday morning he couldn't stand on his own. Originally I had planned to do it monday, but it would have been selfish to make him suffer any longer.

@mrbrain Got it. so sad for you.

@mrbrain I might not be religious but if there isn't an afterlife of pure happiness and pleasure for all pets then there's a serious issue.

 

[mrbrain]

@imagebeastmarkbeast I've never thought much about heaven or the afterlife before now. I cant stop thinking I hope there is a heaven and I get to see him again.

@mrbrain What a beautiful picture!! I hope you are doing ok.

@mrbrain Hey.

First, I am sorry. Losing a family member sucks. Especially one as amazing and loyal as a doggo.

Yes, life cut short for Moose sucks for you. I know what you are going through and I won’t lie, it won’t be easy. If I could give you a zillion hugs, I would.

BUT, his 6 years with you were the the very best for him. And he relied on you to make sure they stayed the best and you delivered on all fronts, including making the right decision to let him go. You were his best friend. He loves you.

When it feels right, you will love another. Moose is counting on it.

@mrbrain This brought me to tears with that lump in my throat. I’m so super sorry for your loss and though I don’t know what it feels like, I just know it’ll hurt more than I’ll ever know, so I can’t even imagine what you are going through. Moose certainly looks like the goodest boy and am sure he’s frolicking happily beyond the doggy rainbow.

@mrbrain Moose sounds like he was blessed with a good home and a loving owner which is the best any dog can hope for.

@mrbrain Hey. We just put down (last Saturday) our 9 y/o who got really skinny and started falling down. It hurts so much. I'm sorry you're going thru this as well.

@mrbrain I also lost a dog young (just about two years ago now). Around the same age as your Moose. Zoey also started having seizures and other health issues came with that. It was very tough for a while I won't lie. Take care of yourself and snuggle your other pups closely. They feel loss too and it's heartbreaking. So sorry for your loss!

 

[mrbrain]

@livelovelearn It's so unfair that any dog should have to die so young. A full dogs life is so short, it's not fair some dont even get that.

@mrbrain So sorry for your loss.

Run free Moose. You are forever loved.
