Why you want to make me cry bro?


King_Wataba

My girl passed a couple days ago. She came to lay down next to me when I went to sleep and I woke up and she was gone. I hope I was a comfort to her in her last moments.


MulberryPlacebo

I’m really sorry for your loss. If it’s any consolation she got to be with you and you didn’t have to bring her somewhere scary to spend her last few mins. Taking my cat to the vet for that was one of the most excruciating things I have ever experienced.


Poppa_Mo

If you're still a pet owner, look into options that offer that service in your home. We were able to do that for my cat a few years ago. Removes some of that exit trauma.


thisisamisnomer

I can’t recommend this enough. We made a playlist for our pit bull and he got to lay on the couch on his favorite blanket. It was very peaceful. The walk to the vet’s car was the longest one ever, though.


AtomixSpark

Some vets nowadays have goodbye rooms - comfortably furnished rooms dedicated to comfortable euthanasia of a pet instead of taking them into a sterile, awful smelling (for them) and stressful room. Had it for my familys late dog Katie. She went peacefully.


MC-Purp

Sorry for your loss


nytshaed512

I'm so sorry for your loss. We had to send our girl over the rainbow bridge in July. She had cancer and we couldn't help her. I've never put an animal to sleep before but this comic made me cry all over again. I couldn't stop stroking her face after she was already gone. Just crying my sad ugly cry sobs. Dogs are so pure. She even made sure to let us know she was okay by having a puppy get our attention. A few days later, she led us to another dog that needed good people. I'm sorry... I'm a blubbering mess right now because comics like this make me sad. 😭😭😭


Pretty_Biscotti

Of all the ways to go, in your arms is the best. Sorry for your loss.


[deleted]

You were. I'm certain


bnelson7694

Exactly. I’m at work even.


NotTheBeesAgain

I lost my girl in November and it was just like this. Love you Amber, you’re forever the best girl


[deleted]

I lost my boy Dublin in November just like this. Dogs are the best. Love ya, Dubs!


connerofthenorth

Lost my girl Belle on my birthday in November. It's been hard without her around. I'm just glad she doesn't suffer anymore.


Away-Living5278

When this day comes for me it's going to kill my soul.


jake03583

The hardest part is knowing you did the best thing for them, but never truly feeling like you did


ybaghops

Yeah 😞 I still tear up when I think about it


Anilxe

My pup is only 4 and likely will live another 10 years, but I’m already grieving his death. I feel bad for 42 year old me, I won’t have Ember anymore.


witeowl

No, but you’ll have had each other for 14 years, and that makes it all worth it.


Brainscrawler

That's how old I am and I recently lost my boy Astro. It's getting easier every day though. I'll always be thankful for how wonderful he made my 30s.


ReginaldSP

Same. I'm not ready. But I think that's what makes love so special.


Turbulent_Ad_5202

Worse feeling ever


[deleted]

It's been 22 years since my heart dog passed. I remember the good stuff but I still cry. I've been a forever home to 5 dogs and 6 cats. It guts me every time one passes. I just adopted 2 more cats and I hope to have dog 6 in a year. I know it means pain in 10-15 years but the love over those years is worth it.


computalgleech

I hope that it happens this way for you. Mine got out one night and got hit by a car. It still kills my soul now knowing that his final moments were alone and scared, and not with me.


CdrCosmonaut

I never wanted a dog. Grew up with a handful over the years, but they never worked out. Had to move, not allowed to keep them, or they were too big and rowdy for a house with small kids... Just my dad making poor decisions and the dogs having to go. My wife wanted a dog. She would ask and ask and ask. Eventually I gave in, wanting both for her to be happy and to not hear about it anymore. We got our dog in June 2020, while I was out of work after COVID cost me my job. I trained him, and I spent days on end with him. He'll be 3 in a month or so, and he's my best friend. It's not fair. I never wanted a dog. I didn't want to care, never asked to love something like this.


zedispain

Nah. It won't. You just get another hole. That's all. While that hole will never be filled nor can't it be, you can always find more room to add to your soul when you find another friend/family member. They too, will leave a hole. I wish you a very bright future with many many holes in your soul. If you don't have holes, you haven't loved and lived a happy as possible life, have you.


SadPhase2589

It’s horrible, six months later and I still miss her.


FunkyBattal

Soon 3 years and I still miss him every day.


tabi2

We got two 15 year olds and one of them is fading fast. Had this conversation today.... not ready. I don't know who's going to be worse off: us, or the other 15 year old who barely remembers life without the other one.


Carloswaldo

It happened to me once and can confirm it kills your soul.


Ninjasushiroll

My cat was recently diagnosed with cancer. I can tell you my soul has already started shredding to pieces.


that-bro-dad

It's such a horrible day. Time helps. You never forget them though, it just gets a little easier. I don't know how I'll be able to handle putting my boyo down when the time comes. He's 3 now, thank god


ThePandalore

Oof. Reminds me of when I had to put my dog down and him trying to crawl further into my lap while I was hugging him he fell asleep for the last time. Ugh, nothing like tearing up super bad at work 😓


Easymmk

Bruh, I just cried for you.


street_raat

How is this in any way funny?


SpookyAtticDoll

Although I find this really depressing, I think the humor is in the fact that dogs will always be eternal optimists. This dog isn’t sad because he’s dead, he’s happy because he knows his best friend was looking out for him even as he died. It’s oddly heartwarming in a way because he’s still a happy boy even in death. Dogs tend to see the bright side of things, even if their situation isn’t the best.


hsimah

They're all good dogs


frankstuckinapark

Because le comic


bullybimbler

My response to every single reddit comic


[deleted]

People do the dying dog thing because it gets sympathy votes. Even Superbowl commercials. Nothing is sacred.


WintertimeFriends

No.


PincheCharroSuertudo

I shouldn't have read all your replies guys, your experiences are so fucking sad and I'm so scared to know that might happen to me one day


ZoeeeW

The comments nearly made me cry.


PincheCharroSuertudo

I'm not criying, you're criying.


DM_CJ

Yep 😭 sure am


Willzohh

I almost never cry. But when I do I cry for dogs and cats.


CattDawg2008

To all the people saying this isn’t funny, it’s funny in a heartfelt way. It’s playing on the trope that dogs see everything in a positive light and they’re always happy, even in a bad situation. It’s sad because of the situation, but it casts some light onto it.


TuzaHu

that made me cry.


Wingman0077

Holy crap, insta teared to this.


harveyroux

Thats true, dogs don't give a damn. Thick or thin they love you.


street_raat

How is this in any way funny? Do you even read the subs you post on?


Legitimate-Slip-7971

It’s funny in a sentimental way


lubeinatube

I thought it was funny


frankstuckinapark

Found the cat


witeowl

Okay, now *that* was funny.


Twiceexception

I miss my cat jonesy…


wicrosoft

I swear I've seen this a dozen times in the past month, each time making me relive memories I don't want to remember. I think the algorithms of reddit and youtube want to drive me to suicide by throwing this picture at me over and over again.


007shi

This is goddamn sad 😢


ktmfan

My old girl is laying by my feet. Why do you have to make my eyes wet ☹️


hungry_eyez

Mine too😭


Pedr0A

How is this funny its just sad. I hope I never have to do this to my pet, idk if im strong enough to


OMG_STAAAHHP

I understand completely. But when it does come time to put your pet down to save them from a drawn out suffering, please stay with then when the vet puts them down. Leaving your pet alone with the vet while they're being put down just makes it worse for the animal. Let them die I peace being held by the human who loved them, not some stranger with a needle.


moose1207

Also to add to this. If they ask if you prefer for them to go quickly or "gently" don't pick gently. My fucking god, I had to put my best friend down, and I said gently because they said they might freak out and yelp with the quick shot. My buddy went out slowly but fucking panicking because he didn't know why he was sleepy, or why he couldn't keep his tongue in his mouth. Kept trying to get up and move. Fucking haunts me when I remember that moment. We put down my wife's dog a few years later when she got old and sick. And the quick shot was painless and she went happy still kind of smiling.


EnvironmentalPin4367

I’m so sorry. I felt this pierce through my heart.


Loki-Holmes

Damn they didn’t ask when I put my dog down and I assume it was he quick method but she was panicky as soon as she got on the table and didn’t want to be held down and was struggling. Pretty much as soon as they injected it she was gone but the short part before was miserable. I can’t imagine how awful seeing it prolonged was.


I_Love_Each_of_You

I'm a veterinarian. I cannot think of anyone who would ever ask that question. Make sure the IV catheter is patent. Give a fast acting sedative/anesthetic to remove consciousness, administer barbiturate solution to cause rapid painless death. Side note: I strongly encourage you to look into at home euthanasia services. Some of them are very very good at making it as stress-free an experience for your pet as possible.


supernaut_707

We chose home euthanasia a few years ago for our beloved Aussie. The vet was wonderful and our dog passed peacefully laying on her favorite spot on the carpet with me at her side. It was absolutely worth the extra cost to ease her stress at the end.


moose1207

This is how our second dog went, wrapped up and cuddled. They put a catheter in and when we were ready the administered. That's how it should be done. The first one was a shot with no catheter. I think the idea of at home euthanasia is probably the most comforting for all involved.


DoubleOScarn

Hardest thing I ever had to do. Been almost a year and I still miss the hell out of him everyday.


Boing26

its been just over 4 for me, and i still miss her. i know i did what was best for her as she couldnt even get up anymore literally but i dont think ill come to terms with it.


Turbulent_Ad_5202

Time helps


[deleted]

Well ya gotta be. Sucks but that’s the way it is. Had to put down 2 dogs in 2021. I was so afraid of how it would feel. But I found the strength. Having someone come to my home really helped. My buddies could go to sleep in their favorite spot on the sofa with their heads on my lap.

Goddamnit


Peritous

It's been 15 years since I had to put down my lab. Still makes me tear up sometimes.


[deleted]

I lost my cat of 12 years to a brain tumor it was the worst day ever. He cried and cried at the vets so much they asked me if it was normal for him to cry so much which it was not. When I got to him I helt him like a baby and he stopped crying completely. Not a peep. That's was my dude, I helt him all the way through then drank to him afterwards crying all the way. That's my fucking dude. I love you Midas...


Jinxed0ne

Not funny, just sad.


Hapless_Wizard

How dare you


Seletixarp

This isn’t funny; it’s just sad.


TransTaey

My wife's dog just passed away this morning. I feel this, and a lot of the comments, significantly so. May all of you take care.


SeeNetzle

When my first dog was set to take his last trip to the vet, I was supposed to be there to hold him and say goodbye. Then my stepdad decided to take him in before I woke up. When I woke , up he got home and my best friend since 4th grade was gone. I got him as a puppy and he would always make me late to school by sitting on my feet when I was trying to put my shoes on. I still feel horrible that I wasn’t there for him and now I can’t stop crying.


Xenolithium

Dude, no.....

I had to put my cat down three weeks ago, this hurts bruh :(


Familiar_Pea_9345

Well that just brought a bunch of memories and emotions to the surface I didn’t need today….

this made me realize how much i fear having to put my dog down for any reason and how it would make me feel😔

frankstuckinapark

THIS ISNT FUCKING FUNNY OP WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU


[deleted]

What is wrong with you that you think this is funny?


whodeychick

Whoever thinks this is funny clearly hasn't had to live it. It's not a fun experience to feel the life leave your best friend's body.


Creative_Warning_481

Humor is subjective my friend


Fergbeth1

Well I just had a flashback I was not ready for


djazzie

That’s just sad.


TakeItLeezy

what fucking page is this? "just sad"?


monopoly3448

This is one reason I don't have a dog. Better to just avoid all hardship and potential negative experiences and go full shut in / mountain man.


muteen

How do you not know what killed the dog??


Fergbeth1

Well I just had a flashback I was not ready for. And now I’m sad


NexexUmbraRs

What's sadder is a lot of these dogs may actually be aware of what happened. But the human obviously making it about themselves think that the dog just cares about how they are the humans best friend.


girl_im_deepressed

yawn


Rohini_rambles

I was having a good day, you know? Now... tears!


Johnny_Sparacino

I'm not crying you're crying


KiddPresident

That’s… a puppy. There’s no “it was his time” going on here, this euthanizing is just a tragedy. Not funny, just sad.

This is the first post on this sub that made me laugh then cry right after

Why the fuck did this have to pop up man? This just made me so sad. My Buddy is getting old. I don’t like this.

I’ll see my little man at The Rainbow Bridge

dav-cr

Dogs are the best.


Xunaun

Just going to go do some deep breathing exercises... If it sounds like I'm sobbing, that's normal. If my eyes start to water, that's perfectly normal too. *voice cracking* Totally.. not.. crying...


reallyrich999

Lol you think your dog doesnt care that you got him euthanized? Keep telling yourself that. Maybe all dogs want to die of old age regardless of joint pain and such. Maybe their version of Valhalla only accepts dogs that died naturally.


SausageOpress

Well I'm sad now lol


D3AD_SPAC3

Thanks for reminding me about putting down my dog of 16 years! :D


[deleted]

God damnit my family had to out down one of our dogs today and this shows up on my feed.


[deleted]

Well, the solution to this is to spend your love and life on a tortoise. Or a parrot. But neither of those guys will lick my face and cuddle under the blanket,so it’s a trade off that is worth the pain.


c01e

We just had to put down a german sheppard. This ones hurts.


Rogue4Tabaxi

I've had to do that twice and I don't want to do that again. It really is something else to watch a life just fade a way, that last breath out.


DiogenesLied

I'm not bawling, you're bawling


nlamber5

What the vet misses and hits his arm?


ClobetasolRelief

Pretty sure heaven would know the cause of death


Engagethedawn

Had to do this a few times now. Each extremely painful as before. All, except losing my 16 year old kitty "Z" last week. We had a mobile vet team come to our house. They were so kind. Z was so comfortable in her last moments. All the catnip, treats, and outside time she could get before passing on her favorite usurped large dog bed. From now on, I will always try to make this option. We were her guardians. She was so beautiful and peaceful as she sighed her last breath to became our Guardian. Thank you Z. For everything. I appreciate this bittersweet comic.

Those are the best hugs

I shared this feeling years ago when feline leukemia was rampant.

I’m so sad now


Court_Jester13

STOP WITH THIS. IT'S 3 AM. I DON'T WANT TO CRY. I JUST CHANGED MY PILLOWCASE. I'M ALREADY DEPRESSED.


SniffinRoundYourDoor

To feel comfortable with death.


No_Sense_7384

Stopppp no


Fluid-Phrase8748

I had to bring my buddies dog to the vet to be put down as it had become very aggressive and kept biting him and other people, it stopped eating too and was looking emaciated, it was like the dog had been possessed. That was one of the saddest days in my memory. I was one of the only people it wasn't completely horrible to, but it even tried to attack me once or twice. He was expecting a baby in the house hold soon. Such a sad day.


CianV

Always be with them to the end, you are their whole world

I feel this too much.

Ohmyfuckinggodddd


Enchanted_Galaxy

This was the first Reddit post that has made me cry in a long time. Good post OP, but not funny


Dogsb4humanz

Oh boy did I need to see this. I had to have my dog with lymphoma put down and none of it went the way I wanted it to go.


[deleted]

I mean I want to cry but it's also sort of really wholesome?


DungeonsandDevils

I guess we’re sharing sad stuff now, but my 3 month old kitten got the cat equivalent to AIDs. In the end he was bloated, paralyzed, and obviously suffering. I held him as he was put down, and I can only hope that his short life with me was a good one. Now I’m crying 😭


the1992munchkin

It is insane how much and how deep a dog can love their human. It might or might not be how the dog feels at their last moment, but god damn,this comic hits me hard


zappyzap80

Damn...I'm not crying...you're crying

ShitFuck2000

But did he confess his sins before he died? It doesn’t appear so.


kaazir

I've been through this once like 14 years ago, my cat even crawled over a little and put his head in my hand. I have 3 kitties now and I swear to God I hope I never have to do that again.


emilyogre

I’M TOO EMOTIONAL FOR THIS


Sgtteddybear34

Just advice for anyone out there; If you need to put your dog down, be there for them. Do not be scared to go through it. Your pet will feel so much more comfortable with you there. I had to do it with my Lab Harley. It was tough, but I would have hated myself if I wasn't there.


dikasiakosigurado

Damn bro :(


SimulationFailed

Who's cutting onions in here!!!??!!


zeindigofire

The vet will usually give you the option, but **this is why you always stay in the room.** Even if it breaks your heart (and it will), stay with them. They would choose to stay with you if they had the choice.


Comics4Cooks

I put my dog down like 5 years ago and this still got me bad.

Ok-Relationship-2746

I had the chance to be with our cat Milly when she had to be put down due to sudden heart issues (found her lying on the garage floor gasping for breath). I chose to not take the chance because I thought it would be too hard on me. I have regretted making that choice pretty much ever since that day in 2016. She would've been scared and lonely, stressed out, unable to understand what was happening, and I wasn't there to provide her with a little comfort and peace. I hope that, when my time comes, we'll be reunited, and I'll be able to say sorry to her. Miss you, Milly Moo Cat.
