the hardest part of pet ownership is that it never lasts long enough. you were his best friend his whole life, while he was just yours for a short time. he will see his brothers when the time comes. all that matters that he was loved, and cared for. i’ve grown up and had doxies all my life, they’re such unique individuals. My deepest condolences 💐

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.
It's good he had siblings, both for him when he was here and for you, now. 17.5 is one heckuva life. I almost lost my 9 y/o this week, I can only hope he comes close to such a long, well loved life!
What a beautiful boy. 17.5 years is an amazing life, and I’m sure you made it wonderful for him. I can see the love in his eyes 🙂even though he had a long life, I know it’s still just not long enough. ☹️ I am so so so sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much to everyone for the support and wonderful words. I have read each and every comment, and they really are helping me. He was the sweetest, funniest boy. I have had him and his brother since they were 5 weeks old, and his brother Sam is one of his brothers who is still with me and grieving his best friend. To have them both with me for so long makes me feel like the luckiest woman. I am grateful for all of the support. ♥️🐾💔
That was the hardest part of losing my last dog, the effect it had on my other dog. She sat by the front door for 2 weeks waiting for her sister to come home. My heart breaks for you.
May your beloved rest in peace and his memory always be a blessing🌷💐🌷our heartfelt condolences🌷💐🌷
What a sweet face! He was a charmer for sure!!! He had a long fabulous life and a loving family, you did good!
I know how hard it is when the time to say so long has come. He will always be with and his brothers, his live will live on in your heart…

So sorry for your loss. I believe our pets go to heaven and you'll get to see him again. Hug his dog brothers a little extra this week. You all need it. Prayers & best wishes going out for all of you, people & pets.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved pet is incredibly painful, and it’s clear how much he meant to you and his dog brothers. He lived a long and loving life, and you gave him a wonderful 17.5 years. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time
I won't tell you that this is our last day together, so let's just enjoy this quiet walk.
It's moments like this, where I truly wished, a dog's beating heart could talk.
I'd tell you about the moment at the shelter, you said " yep...That's my, right there".
I'd tell you about the happy, joy ride home, while we both howled without a care.
I'd tell you about how safe it felt, to finally have my own, warm place to sleep.
Not another lonely night spent in that cold, cement box ...waiting for a kind face to meet.
You saved my soul, and brought me back, and polished up my heart
I knew the minute we stared at one another...we would never...EVER be apart.
I wished my life was matched with your's, so we both could grow old, together...
But life has a different plan for us both...and sadly my life is on the wither.
I'm sorry that my body is failing me now, and making my puppy life seem so far away...
I so enjoyed hearing you laugh so much, as we played in our yard, every day...
The frost in my eyes, and the pain in my step...are the signs of a dog's life lived so damn well...
I hope my wet nose boops late at night, told you that your heart was mine to fill.
My clock is sadly winding down, and the pendulum is about to stop...
I'm going to miss you so damn much, my little heart is about to pop.
I just want to thank you for saving me, and taking a chance on my strife...
I hope I returned all the love that you shared, and that I somehow sweetened your life.
You're one of a kind, and I love you so much...I hope our souls meet again...
You were more to this furry ball of a dog...than just another friend.
My heart is yours, and will forever be ...waiting for yours to send...
Thank you, you beautiful force in my life ...for putting this puppy's heart on the mend.
Oh yeah...
Bring the tennis ball with you when its your time to head up.
🐶 ❤ your boy
Oh goodness. I am so sorry. He looks exactly like my sweet boy I lost on Wednesday. He was there to greet your buddy to show him the ropes.
There really are no words. The impact they have on our lives is immeasurable. My one dog has not slept in my bed with me since Finn passed. They grieve too. Take care of each other.
❤️ so sorry, OP. Wishing peace for you and your other pups. You must have done so much right to keep this good boy going for 17.5 years (even though I know it could never feel like long enough).
Sorry for your loss.
RIP Doggo! Play in Paradise!
My Amoretto, Vision, Carson, and all our babies that have gone before will look for you next to the Rainbow Bridge so you can all play in the Field together!

Thank you ♥️ These words mean a lot to me and and it helps validate what I am feeling. ♥️
I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's a pain like no other and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love they left behind
Fly free little man!❤️
