Hugs Lucas. It absolutely sucks!
Dogs are not just animals, they become a part of your family and the grief is very real when losing a family member. Thoughts and prayers with you xx
 
I'm sorry for your loss @Lucas. Losing a pet can be an isolating type of grief as it isn't shared by as many people, but it is still just as real so definitely let yourself feel that. The only people who wouldn't understand are those who have not let an animal into their life. 15 years is amazing, you were lucky to have Max for as long as you did just as she was to have you, and you made a selfless decision to end her pain and you were right there in the room with her which is always advised.

It's funny, in getting a pet you are essentially setting yourself up for this, chances are they will leave this plane long before we do and yet people keep going back for more pets. Obviously the joy that they bring to our lives is worth it, so don't forget the joy you got from Max.
 
Oh @Lucas , I just cried tears for you, so sorry for your loss. Just read everyone's heartwarming responses, and there is not much more to add, but I feel your pain and grief sweetheart. :( I just gave my Rosie a big hug. Xxx
 
I'm so sorry too @Lucas

Dogs offer us the closest thing to pure unconditional love in this world and are absolutely a true loss of a family member when they pass. So many wise words already said, so I'll just assure you that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings xoxo
 
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and kind words. I really appreciate them. You have no idea how much they mean to me and are a great comfort.

There are moments when I feel ok but then overwhelming moments when I just need to let it all out. The only way through this pain is to feel it.

I am gradually accepting what has happened. Life is still going on despite the loss of my best friend. I need to keep going.

For Max she died surrounded by her family and the vet came to the house so she died in her home. Which for her was the best place.

I have another dog too so I am not all alone without a furry friend. :):) She's with me right now.

I don't know what you guys think of the afterlife but I hope there is something there because I would love to meet with Max again when my time comes. I strangely feel she is or something is around. I feel lots of energy or something. Especially near the right side of my face. I could be crazy. Haha. But I feel something. I would love the idea of her watching over me. She always watched me and liked to be in the same room with me when she was alive. I use to trip up on her all the time because she followed me everywhere in her last few years even to the toilet :laugh: She would wait outside the bathroom.

Thank you my dear friends
@hooleydooley, @Mooseface, @Khun Khun, @Trala, @Meglos, @bleachy_dude, @jessy_girl, @shadow2, @qtkt and @GROOVER.

P.S. - I am very sorry if I upset anyone on here. Sorry that my post made you cry @shadow2. *hug*

She'll be watching and will never leave. Hopefully your other furry friend isn't being too sad and is being given special attention. Hugs to you both.

Thank you. I really hope she is and I want to see her again one day. I couldn't bare it if this was it. I just have to have faith I will see her again.

The other furry friend is doing alright and yes she is getting lots of attention. She has no idea what has happened but she knows something is different and her "sister" is not here.
 
Hey Lucas. I'm sorry to hear about your Max passing away. It so hard to lose a pet, especially one that has been with you so long and was with as you grew up.

Take comfort in the fact that you were there when she passed and was not in pain anymore. Sending lots of love and hugs to you.

The sun was just about right today. Not too cold and not too hot.
obviously the sun woke up in a good mood and decided not to be too harsh on us humans and for that I m ever so grateful. Thank you, sun. I won't worship you though. No thank you.

Good Moanin OT thread!

Welcome to our Sunday, friends, foes, fanatics and froot loops!

I hope my partner wakes with the hangover from hell! We went out with friends last night for dinner, and he got himself rip roaring drunk! So funny, but so so annoying for the drive home.

The back yard is coming to life. The deck is almost completely finished, and there is one more garden bed to prep. It looks so good.

Mr Mutley is having a naughty weekend away with Noah in Sydney this weekend. We were there this time last year. I love the Vivid festival. Looks like he is having a blast.
 
MOUNTAIN FACTS!

1- Mountains are big.

2- Mountains have snow on them.

3- The word mountain was named after Lord Mountain of London. Who hated climbing.

@Lucas hope you are going ok today. There is nothing worse then seeing your best friend in pain and knowing what your only option is. Your love for Max is easy for us all to see, I know she would have felt it. Big hugs xx

Thank you el'coopo! (and @Inigo Montoya & @Isee)
I am doing much better today I suppose. I really miss her but have accepted she's gone (for now - I feel she's watching over me). I feel like we did the best thing for her now. She would have been in a lot of pain and she was just going to get worse from then on. She was getting very old and frail. I am so lucky I had 15 years with her. My previous two dogs before her both had tragic ends and I always wanted a dog to live to old age and she did :):). And she lived pretty long for a dog of her breed too.
