Today I had to say goodbye to my best friend of 15 years.

My loyal companion. My best friend. My dog. The funniest and daggiest (just like me) dog you'll ever meet.

The decision was made to euthanise her. She has been sick for a while but this morning took a turn for the worse.

I feel so sad right now. I miss her terribly. I wish I could have more time with her. I wish I could see her again. I wish I could turn back the clock and didn't agree to euthanise. I feel so guilty right now. What if she would have lived a few more weeks or months? She wanted to hang on but sooner or later she was going to die and she was in a terrible place this morning. During the procedure, I was patting her on the head when she passed very suddenly and it's just so hard to believe she was there one second and gone the next. She collapsed in my hands and then she was gone. The last thing I think she saw was me.

Some people might think it's silly to grieve over a dog but she was my best friend who accepted and loved me unconditionally. She has been there through all the good times and helped during the bad times. She is so special. A one of a kind dog.

I want to see her again one day. I really do.

Sorry if this post upsets anyone I just feel I needed to write all of this and let you guys know. I'm still in shock.

Oh Lucas - big hugs and love sent! One reason I put off owning a pet, in the past ia about when they leave! 15 years is an awesome innings for a dog. You did the right thing, to help her on the way to the rainbow bridge. It is a pity, that humans do not have that freedom, when they are suffering.

You are no way silly, to know the love a Dog can bring into ones life. More people should experience that type of love. I am sure she will be looking over you and your life and when times are not so cool, you can draw on her love - to help get you through.

Please share her name xxxxxxx

More love sent xxxx

Thank you so much Deb. Your message has really given me some comfort. And it's so good that someone is online right now to talk to so I don't feel quite as alone tonight. I was hoping you were lurking around for some wise words from a fellow dog lover.

Max is her name. X
 
I love that name, one of my youngest bbf I made, name is Maxine xxxxx

You can never get anything more loyal, than a Dog. The cats I have looked after and the one I still do, are all about themselves LOL. My Joy is the first dog, I have have been blessed to share my life with, and she does brings me great Joy. More so than any human LOL! She will be 5 in Late November and I feel blessed for everyday she is in my life.

Not sure if my words are wise, but I can feel what you are feeling - by putting myself in your situation, I would be devestated. I had to put one of my cats (TIA) to sleep about 10 years ago - I didn't take her to do that, my partner did and he said it was quick and well I have a tear thinking about it all.

I suppose that is really what life is about. We are not all here forever and we should be kind to one another, because you never ever know - what tommorrow brings xxxxx

Love to all and don't forget to love our Earth xxxx
 
Oh Lucas, how very sad for you. You will remember Max with love, laughter and smiles of course, but nothing for now will take away that horrible, crushing feeling of loss. Hugs to you xx
It's funny how dogs especially can wiggle their way into our hearts and lives. I absolutely love and cherish my sister's almost five year old Cavoodle and will be heart broken when her time to go comes.

Was great chatting to you, Oh I wish I had a pool!! Would be great sitting there having lunch. Mum was gifted 3 Pumpkins, so she is making loads of Pumpkin soup, just delicious

Always great to catch up with you, Grace.

We difinitely love sitting around the pool area. My partner built in BBQ area in the gazebo and it really does look beautiful. He is such a clever man. He is completely self taught when it comes to building, and he is always creating some house improvement. At the moment he is putting in garden beds using hard wood borders. I help by making lunch and delivering it. :)

How terribly sad for you.

Like you, my dogs are my very best friends, and to be honest I can't even imagine how horrible that day will be when I need to weigh up whether their pain outweighs their quality of life.

Grief is grief, whether it is caused by losing your furry friend, like your Max, a human friend, or a human family member, and grieving is a process. Don't fight it and let yourself go with it. I send you love and strength little man.

Sincerely
Tracey Xo
 
Thinking of you Lucas. The furry family members we choose to share our lives with are one of the best parts of life. and like everything, won't be physically with us forever. For me it's my cats I have that connection with. You'll always have your memories, and take comfort in knowing you gave Max the best life possible, You did a selfless thing in letting her go, as hard as it is.

My aunty has had poodles all her life, and takes comfort in the pet prayer whenever it's time to say goodbye. qtkt has posted similar words here before.

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
For this – the last battle – can’t be won.

You will be sad I understand
But don’t let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn’t want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.

Take me to where my needs they’ll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Don’t grieve that it must now be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We’ve been so close – we two -these years,
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
