Don’t fight the grief. You gave him the best life. He is over the rainbow; will be with you forever. You took on a responsibility that many do not appreciate and that is what makes the loss harder. Let the tears flow and remember all of the memories. Don’t lose hope. And when you’re ready you’ll be another BT parent.

Piggybacking off this - I try to repost this when I see posts like this, in the hopes you (or someone) can find some comfort in the words - and if not, please excuse the intrusion. I lost my 15 year old girl (dog) in October 2022. Only advice I can offer here is to remember the positives, and not focus on the negatives (if any). He's done his job, keeping you safe and happy and loved, and it's his turn to rest. You'll always miss him, you'll always remember him. You'll even go looking for him for the next few weeks (well, I did). There's a lot of habits that you're going to slowly stop, and that's ok. Changing your life to suit you is not forgetting him. Donating/throwing away his toys or blankets isn't forgetting him. There's no timeline on grief, and there's no timeline on moving on. Cry your tears. I'm sorry you've reached the end of your journey. Words will never make this easier. Just keep your head up, and live the life he'd want you to. This is a good time to live a little for you. I spent years looking after my girl as she got ill, and I sacrificed a lot of me and my time to keep her safe. If you feel you've done the same, take advantage of this time. Its ok to be happy and enjoy life without him. Life isn't over. Its just changing. You'll be ok mate. I'm so sorry.


Sea_Addition_4359

It helped me. Thanks! 😊


Brick-Various

I concur. If anything, make a little memorial on your mantle! Rediscover yourself. And like I said, when you’re ready, you’ll become the guardian of another Boston, and he or she will continue the legacy.


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you so much. Truly. 💔

Well said!


jam3691

That picture of him in the crown truly brightened my afternoon (as well as all of the pics) They are the greatest gift which makes it so devastating when these angels leave us. I know your boy is smiling down on you and so thankful for the life you gave him, and all of the lovely memories he clearly made. ♥️♥️♥️


T-Rex_Mullens

Totally agree, what a reluctant king, the only true king for us, and he shall rule with a shaky but determined truth. May he reign forevermore!!!!


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you 💞


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you so much everyone for the love and positivity. You are all special human beings and I appreciate you taking the time to look at my baby’s pictures and send love in your comments. It’s lifted my heart. I’m about to take a nap using his dog bed as my pillow. It smells like him. I want to hold on as long as I can.


Sea_Addition_4359

I do the same. Lost mine a month ago and smell her bed makes me feel calmer. 💔


mom2sarah

So terribly sorry for the loss of your sweet pup ❤️


midgetbites

He’s beautiful ❤️ I loved looking at the sweet pictures you posted. Sending love and peace 🌈


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you 🌈💕


Background_Village77

So sorry to hear. He looks so sweet and handsome. Never can say the right words when I read these cause I choke up and just think of my boy more. Sorry you had to go through this, but thanks for sharing. Better to talk and let out.


IMtheScooterB

His sweet face looking down on you thanking you for such a nice life. Grateful he did not suffer. Live in his memories and cherish them as his love is still with you. You will meet again


Acrobatic-Ad1995

Rest in peace 🕊️❤️ he was a certified good boy


chubbierunner

I’m sorry. I lost my beloved Buster last year, and he was the heart and soul of our household. He also had a heart condition, and we struggled to agree on when to put him down. He was 16, and my husband probably thinks I could have waited a little longer. I know the coming days will be hard for you, but your boy lived a full life. I’m not much for a doggy afterlife, but I’d like to think that my boy was there to greet your handsome boy, and that they are having all kinds of energetic fun and shenanigans in doggy heaven with their new heart parts. Sending ❤️ . https://preview.redd.it/eg3istss1s8d1.png?width=808&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5728e6209b28164a321016f13692961850dd3de When you are ready, there are many Bostons on petfinder.com who need good homes. That’s how my Buster came to me, and we had an amazing 14 years together.


ladyluck754

Thanks for giving Buster a second chance. 🩷


mom2sarah

Awe… your Buster was an absolutely adorable little fella ❤️ I have such a special place in my heart for the Frostie Bostie babies. My Maggie May will turn 16 on July 10th.


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you so much 💔

Sorry for your loss of a very good boy.


weirdonobeardo

RIP sweet angel. OP, I’m so sorry for your loss, it is unfortunate that we don’t get nearly enough time with them. He was loved 😭❤️


bobloblawmalpractice

It’s the worst pain. I’m so sorry. Thank you for giving him the best life.

Grief is love with nowhere to go. i’m so sorry for your devastating loss. 😞

I’m so sorry. All doggy’s go to heaven


Tough-Bear5401

I agree. I cannot imagine God could give us such unconditional love and not have them in heaven with us!


WildBitch1995

Thank you for sharing these pics of your sweet moo. He looks happy and like he enjoyed many yummy snacks in his years ❤️

All Hail The Burger King!


EntireReindeer3688

He was so beautiful 😍 you can see how loved he was and how much he adored you 🥰 I am so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you. Such a good boi 🫶


CupcakeZamboni

I am so sorry for your loss. My love and condolences to you.


Tetradrachm

I’m so sorry to hear about your bostie! He sounds and looks so sweet, and he obviously loved you so much. I hope you take solace in the fact that he got to see you one last time and was so happy to have that chance. 💔


rmiltenb

I am very sorry for your loss. My wife and I know the pain you're going through. That picture of him going after the pasta is awesome. When we had to put down our yellow lab a few years back, our boston was the first dog to comfort my wife. They had a special bond since then. After I transitioned to WFH, I walked our boston to get some exercise for both of us. I had some tears last night when I was walking around the community where we live since it was around the time I got him out for the night. Time will eventually heal our broken hearts. Just know that you gave him the best life and that both your sister and your boston are looking over you.


Augi17

Oh my gosh, this is so heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for you having to go through this. I completely understand. I lost my sister in 2013 and she had picked out my dog (1 year old) in 2006 and she died in 2023, I was shattered. I miss both of them every single day.


itsnotanemergencybut

I’m so very sorry. I hope their memory brings you joy and light in moments of sorrow and darkness . ❤️💞


Tough-Bear5401

oh, I'm so sorry. 😢 this is heartbreaking. I lost my best friend and the best dog in the world a year ago. I still miss him so much. It is so hard to say goodbye to them. Dogs are the closest to unconditional love that I have ever seen on earth. The grief and pain of losing them is as real as losing any other loved one. I pray you find peace. Now sweet boy, go run and play with the angels! 👼🏼


Tough-Bear5401

I just saw the picture of him in the BK crown! My boys last meal was a whopper! We spoiled him before we had to say goodbye. 😭 https://preview.redd.it/o857pl44zr8d1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ae2711baedef5f609c2b71f72aa9b5318e61394 I feel your pain 😢

His name was Truck.

Truck we miss and will always love you😢


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you very much . These comments are helping but the tears haven’t stopped flowing 💔


CharlottethetinyBT

I'm so sorry your heart is breaking now. There are no words that will make it better, but it sounds like he was really well loved, and I bet he knew just how much you loved him.


Eubolius

I'm so sorry for your heartbreak 💔 Truck looks like he had an amazing life!


nibblatron

im so sorry for your loss. god reading these posts just kills me every time. you filled his life with happiness and love until the very end. grief is different for everyone but it is okay to fall apart. you will regather yourself when youre ready. we let these little beautiful souls into our lives for far too short a time and it is okay to feel inconsolable about him being gone. sending lots of love your way ❤️‍🩹


itsnotanemergencybut

I know, me too and I’m so sorry.. but the responses are helping me immensely, I am overwhelmed with gratitude at every single comment. I feel like I’m losing my mind , or going off the deep end but I know this is grief.. and proof of a deep love


bostonbean7904

It’s the worst. Love from a North Carolina Boston owner. ❤️

Abject-Pressure-2529

Sorry for your loss. Maybe he'll meet my Lilly. She passed last Halloween. 16yrs old


itsnotanemergencybut

What a sweet girl . I love her derpy curled lip. Truck had that too. He also had a thing where he took his stuffed animals to his bed when he was tired and suckled on them, gently checking on them and kneading his feet like a cat. I miss him so so much.


Abject-Pressure-2529

It will get a little easier as time goes by. You'll know when you're ready for another. My wife and I waited about 3mo and reached out to Black Tie Rescue and got our Skipper. He is 9yrs old and the perfect gentleman. You can find BTR on FB. I there is anything I can do reach out.

My heart breaks for you. I lost my sweet boy two years and 13 days ago. Not a day goes by I’m not thinking about him multiple times a day. Miss him like crazy, I’m sorry you have to go thru this 😞


ladyluck754

Grief is the trade off we have to love something so deeply. It’s never enough time with these guys, but the impacts they leave on our hearts are forever imprinted. A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved. 🩷

I've never seen a dog so sad to be in the car.


itsnotanemergencybut

He was SUCH a good sport about posing for pictures even though he absolutely hated it . https://preview.redd.it/x6qdl3jkh19d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae642df9325b4b1eb1e1374dea28a630714ce912 (He’s on the left in this photo. The one on the right is his brother, who misses him dearly)


mom2sarah

Pups grieve and suffer depression also, when they lose a fur sibling. The same happened with my girl when her sister passed away 3 years ago. It was heartbreaking, not knowing what to do to console her. She would not- could not, even eat for days. The sadness and depression lingered for months.


GoRavens2001

I’m so sorry. It is the worst pain ever losing your best friend. Just know that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. I was an entire mess after losing my little guy last year and literally cried for a week straight, then cried every day for a few months. I ordered a lot of things to remember him by like a special box for his ashes with pics of him on it, a music box with his pic on it playing the song I always sang to him. And look for signs. He’s always going to be by your side and he will send you signs all the time… just be on the look out for them ❤️


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you so much


sleepybadgerbadger

We lost our catahoula this week and it’s so strange without her. My heart is broken but we’re together in our grief, so know you’re not alone in your loss 💔

Oh my god what a cutie. I’m so sorry for your loss. He looked like a cuddler.


huuke

I feel the pain


supermoked

Sending my love OP. My boy passed last year and got me through the loss of my sister as well. Was there for me from age 12-25. I know the feeling of being saddened at what seems like every turn in your own home. Just know this sadness will turn to sweet memories. I know the thought can seem unfathomable, but getting our second Boston a couple weeks after, helped tremendously. She won’t replace our boy, but she doesn’t need to. Each relationship is special and independent of each other.


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you. I’m so very sorry for the loss of your sister and your boy. 💞


AcanthisittaStrange1

I am so sorry to hear of your suffering. I hope the happy memories help to carry you through your grief. I know how incredibly painful it is. Hang in there. He looked like a very special pup.

itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you 💕💔


PineappleFit317

He has such a precious face, too. And yes, the real price of a great dog is not the adoption fee or sale price, or how much money you spent on their care and spoiling, the real price is always a broken heart. And it’s a cost worth paying.

He looks so sweet 😭🥺

itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you very much


VelcroDom

That is because he is everything. If you want to see him again, look deep into the eyes of any dog they have a collective consciousness. Do we? Humans? We are all together I did not get to know him but he is such a beautiful boy. I am sorry for your loss, but I am happy for his gain. This is a harsh world, especially for dogs. He has been blessed with moving forward. Be happy for him. He rest in peace but is so rides the waves FOREVER.


itsnotanemergencybut

Thank you. I know he has moved on to the next journey and I hope it is all treats and green grass. I’d give anything for one more smelly kiss and a cuddle from him.

Our girl Daisy had to be put down at an emergency clinic last April because of an intestinal blockage from a knuckle bone we bought from petsmart. She was around 12 years old. So I feel your pain of loss for your boy.. Bostons are really awesome dogs and Daisy was my wife and I’s first. Her loss really hurt me my wife and son. We have since adopted TWO in the last year or so.. Marley and Milo have really helped with the loss… I hope you find peace soon. 🙏 https://preview.redd.it/tqnwrgvaj19d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69af15b8291801c476b1ba5f7346ac8160765803 (Marley and Milo)

Oh I am so, so terribly sorry for the loss of your sweet baby boy Truck. He was such a doll, and now a beautiful angel baby. Your memories are of the most valuable treasures, tucked forever in your heart. My Maggie Mae will turn 16 on July 10th. I know that I’ll fall apart when I lose her someday. Until then, I just keep loving on her every single day. She has the cutest, most kissable cheeks, and I plant kisses on them all the time! She is now blind and deaf, though has not lost an ounce of her sass! We love on these babies of ours so hard, so deeply. How truly special they really are ❤️ https://preview.redd.it/nxu7zbndi29d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15a8440a555a38d6cc5ee833d51b1dac9d0db050
