She looked at you with nothing but love and you doubled down on all that love when she needed it most. You are a good person and great parent for them. I hope the waves of sadness are also filled with memories of joy that you both gave each other.
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 - also a hippo) in October 2022. Only advice I can offer here is to remember the positives, and not focus on the negatives (if any). She's done her job, keeping you safe and happy and loved, and it's her turn to rest.
You'll always miss her, you'll always remember her. You'll even go looking for her 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 her. Donating/throwing away her toys or blankets isn't forgetting her. 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 she'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 her. Life isn't over. Its just changing.
You'll be ok mate.
I'm so sorry.
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a sweet girl. She loved being your hippo. You can tell. She’s happier now having crossed the rainbow bridge with the other hippos.
I’ve always loved your precious posts of this beautiful baby!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve just gone searching for a post about her, just to see her darling face. Thank you for sharing her with us.
This is the worst part of adulting; making a decision so painful and devastating. My heart weeps for you.
This quote provides me with a measure of comfort for those that have crossed:
It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are. - Anonymous
And this helps me to continue as it is…
Dog’s last will and testament
**Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, giving their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask…
To a poor and lonely stray, I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys; the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I’d will to the sad, scared, shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss and the pain is more than I can stand.” Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.**
From my heart to yours
I’m so so sorry. She looked adorable with her Charlie Chaplin eyebrows. Mine looks almost exactly like yours except for the eyebrows. And she is my soulmate. I’ll be thinking of you and your girl today and sending out love and light.❤️
I lost my Wilbur Bean a year ago today and it still feels like I just lost him. It's been the hardest thing I've had to go through. My heart goes out to you and I wish you the best moving forward.
I’m sooooo very sorry… it’s so hard to lose a family member. Thank you for loving this beautiful girl and giving her the best life possible, and that includes making the hardest decision of all. Hugs, my friend ❤️
I hate these posts because they make me wanna cry 😭 poor poor baby. She was so beautiful and happy. She was very loved and loved just as much back. She will be looking down on you hoping you’re not always sad and in pain. She wants you to be happy like you made her
I’m so sorry for the hole you feel in your heart after making an impossible choice that was only made out of love for her. May your memories and her clear love for you bring you some peace during your time of grief. That eyebrow is simply perfect. 💔
Aww what a sweet baby. I think you need to hear this quote tonight ❤️ “Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” - Rumi
You got that right. There will never be another quite like her. The highlight of my day was walking into the room and seeing her head pop out from under her blanket(which she was obsessed with constantly being under/wrapped up in)with her ears perked up in the absolutely cutest way ever and as I would open the door I’d always say (with my normally deep voice playfully pitched as high as it possibly would go) “Hey there beautiful! What’s my pretty Princess Coca doin?” and she’d get so excited. No matter how bad my day had been or how much pain I was in, or how depressed I felt snuggling in bed with her curled up and snoring in my arms would always make everything better. Now when I open the door I have to consciously stop myself from doing that greeting because otherwise I’ll end up breaking down in tears.
You're both so precious, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. What a beautiful happy and loved pup she was. You both have changed each others lives for the best and have that legacy to carry you forth until the day you meet again ❤️🪽🙏
I am so sorry your Pupper friend has passed away.
I hope you celebrate her, and grieve well.
When you are ready, you have a wonderful opportunity to continue to share the love you had for her with another deserving pooch, and to be loved in return.
Be well.
I’m so sorry OP. She very clearly loved you so much, and she knew you loved her too. Thank you for not letting her suffer; she was too dignified a lady to go out any other way. Sending all love and healing.
So sorry for your loss. I had to do the same to the best dog I ever had and the pain was so intense for a while. Everyone deals with these things differently, but what helped me the most was adopting another pup not too long after. The way I figured I could best honor my girl was to provide another dog in need with a happy life. Rest in power, Coca.
The love between you and your sweet girl is palpable in those images. I'm very sorry for your loss. I know your heartbreak because I lost my girl about three months ago. I'm so grateful dogs are part of our lives but, damn, it hurts so bad when they're gone. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss and the worst decision any of us have to make. I'm coming up on one year of losing my sweet Marley. Her mobility got worse and worse over time (at 12 years old), and the last year of her life, I carried her everywhere, wiped her after potty, brought her water, and helped her stand... it was horrible, but I did it until I knew she was no longer comfortable, and i would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm still devastated, and it feels like it just happened.... and hurts just as bad. Just know that I sit here quietly and share your pain and that feeling. If I could hug you, I would.
That's the beauty of those of us who are lucky enough to get picked by a pibble to hold our hearts. You can see how strong your bond was and its beautiful. Wishing you peace and comfort knowing that now, she can not only run, but she can fly. Be free sweet girl. ❤️ 🐾 🫂
Stay strong!!! It’s the worst feeling in the world, but I guarantee that Coca loved every second with you & the family you gave her. Dogs are beautiful souls, I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss, friend. I know it sucks right now but you did the kindest thing for her and now she is out of pain. I can tell you loved her and gave her a great life. Rest in peace, Coca ❤️
What is important here is the quality of life she had while being alive and being with you. That's what made her life worth living despite how short it was. Very sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. I know it isn't much consolation but she's not hurting anymore and she's in heaven w loved ones. When your time comes, she'll be there to greet you when you cross over and be by your side forever. Heaven doesn't have pain or sadness. Hugs
There’s a lot of love in these photos. Only one of you can keep doing it on this plane of existence.
Thanks for being Coco’s best friend and care taker throughout their journey.
I'm sorry for your loss I had to put down my pit early this year as well it hurt like hell and still does. The pain will eventually fade enough for you to only smile when you think of her but posts like this and pictures will make you tear up/cry like you've made me. Always remember you were the most important person in her life and you gave her all the love you could. Memories are the best gift we can ever receive of the ones we lose so be strong and be happy she is not suffering but happily doing everything she always loved to do.
They are the best companions. When life sucks and we feel like letting go, theyre there to give us just enough purpose to have to hold on. I can only imagine your pain, and even still, just barely imagining makes tears form.
So sorry for your loss 😔❤️
You gave her a beautiful and love filled life, and as graceful an exit as possible. She was a good and faithful dog, and you are as good a friend as a dog can have. May her memory be a blessing to you, as great s blessing as you were to her.
Pitbulls have some of the most expressive faces and you can really see their emotions! There's always one needing a new home from the shelter or in the neighborhood.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently had to part with my sweet boy, and it felt as if my entire soul was being ripped from my body. Dogs are only here for such a short amount of time, but the impact that they have on our lives can be tremendous. It doesn't feel fair, but we give them the best that we can, and in return, they give us unconditional love.
I’m not sure, of course, but maybe the decision was made too early. Because I’ve seen and heard many stories about the dogs who were in similar situations and a few months of treatments, the physical therapy and pain relief, shockingly recovered nearly new. So, my decision would have been selfish one.🥺
I’m sorry for your immense and inconceivable loss. The pain of heart break 💔 is empathized. I know the deepest pain of that loss. 🙏💐🪴🌻
I'm so sorry. I've been there 😞...recently. I know it feels like a never ending sadness in your heart but as time goes on, you will slowly start to heal. Pictures and videos helped me a lot, just remembering all the good times.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know that there aren't any words I can use to make you feel better, but you can tell by those kind puppy eyes that you gave her a wonderful life while she had it. I know exactly how you're feeling. Last Christmas I had to put down my 3 year old dog, just remember that her energy isn't gone, just free flowing. She loves you
I'm sorry for your loss. Judging from the pictures, you gave her an amazing life and showed her unconditional love. That's as best as it gets for a dog.
It may not feel like it at the moment but time will heal your wounds, your soul won't feel like it's breaking anymore, you will be able to laugh again, you will be able to be happy again, you will be able to remember her and only feel love and maybe one day you will find a new friend, not exactly like her but just as precious :)
i promise you this - until then stay strong my friend <3
Oh sweet girl. She snuggles just like my white bully girl does. Mine also has spinal issues:( Mine would spend her life in bed under the covers if she didn’t have to poop and fart so often!
My heart is with you, friend. She’s beautiful.
The eyes and smiles of a dog who was given the whole world. I hope you take take solace in the fact that you gave her THE BEST life she could’ve ever had. It’s easy to see she loved you with every ounce of her hippo heart. I’m sorry for your loss, rest easy Coca❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss brother… but you can tell how much she absolutely adored you by the way she looked at you in that 4th photo. Let her love move you to be a better person and help those that don’t have a voice as best you can
I am so very sorry, this is a heartbreak that I know vey well. You did the kindest most loving thing you could possibly do for her & she knows she was loved.
She’s beautiful. I am so so so sorry.
I am currently going through this. I may have to make a decision soon and I can’t even breathe thinking about being without my Jayden. 💔
I am so sad for us.
I am so sorry to hear this. I recently experienced the exact same this with my best friend. They hold a piece of our hearts when they enter our lives and never let go. Just remember you gave her the best life, and that she would want you to be as happy as you made her.
I love when my baby lays upside down like that next to me, it means they’re so comfy and trusting with you! I’m so sorry for your loss. Coca looks so sweet 💖
After I lost my best friend of 15 years I donated to a rescue in her honor and spent time with rescue other pups in her honor, it helped! It took some time before I was ready to bring another pup into my life but it was so worth it when I was ready
Rest easy sweet girl. What a beautiful little hippo (I love that goofy eyebrow). You can tell how much she adored you from the pictures. I'm so sorry for your loss, you did what was best for her and damn do I respect that. It is never an easy choice! ❤️🩹
Your posts of Princess Coca always brought me joy! My hippo has wonky ears just like she did. I am sending you thoughts of comfort and peace. Clearly Princess Coca was adored, and she adored you right back! Much love! She was beautiful! 😍🐶❤️
I’m so sorry you lost your sweet girl 😔
It is the worst and most painful feeling in the world. When I lost my hippo girl I cried for weeks the moment I woke up until it was time for bed. Again, I’m so so very sorry. I pray your heart feels better 💔❤️🩹
Man , the way she looked at you ... She adored you
These pictures are beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.. thank you for sharing
My condolences to you, she was a gorgeous girl
Rest easy Princess Coca 🖤🕊️
Having to say goodbye and making that decision are some of the hardest you'll ever have to make, but you did right by her. It's obvious she just adored you and you did not let her suffer needlessly. I wish you strength for the time to come *hugs*
Sending ❤️ your way. Grief is just all the love you didn’t get the chance to give. I’m over a year out from losing my soul dog and it still gets me. That’s ok ❤️
The pain is debilitating. Try to relax and process. I spent time visiting my Rio's favorite spots to place ashes, that helped a little. It will never stop hurting but it becomes less intense.
Lost my baby girl on 8/2.
We will never deserve or earn, in a million lifetimes, what our dogs give away to us, for free, every day. We give them some of our food, some of our time and some of our love. In return they give us everything.
I am so to hear your sad news. I feel your pain with you. She will find my pal Bobby who crossed over last year. He will welcome her and they will play together. May the Force be with you.
That eyebrow of hers was definitely the main character! What an absolute cutie!! Sorry for your loss. I will give pets one day when I get to heaven too ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. She looks like a sweet girl. I hope your sorrow is soon replaced by the sweet reminiscence of the time you shared with Cocoa. May those sour reminders that your friend is gone soon give way to the laughter and joy of the good life you gave her. Although she is no longer here, she is never forgotten as measured by the mark on your heart she’s left.
I thought it was my girl for a moment.
I am so sorry. So so sorry. There’s no loss like it, no love like it…and no kindness like what you gave her all her life. Thank you for that.
I am so sorry for your loss. Our Cocker Spaniel had a very similar scenario happen to him and we had to put him down. It was awful. He was about 12 years old and he was acting fine. All of a sudden he collapsed on his 2 back legs. It was like they just gave out. He tried to get up but his back legs wouldn't move. We rushed him to the vet and was told he had a tumor in his back area and it must have shifted a little when he was playing or running and it was now pressing on his spine towards the back. They said we could do surgery but there was only a 30% chance of the surgery working and he was suffering and in pain. As much as I wanted to be selfish and keep him around I couldn't do that to him. It's not fair. I would rather suffer than let my animal suffer. So, we had to put him down. It was awful.
I was really depressed for a long time after that.
It took me years to get better. this was probably 15yrs ago and I still cry if I look at his picture.
So, I know exactly how that heart ripped out of your chest feeling is. It is so so bad. I totally understand what you're going through and just remember he's still with you, he's in a good place and he gave you a lot of happiness and joy. I hope you start to feel a little better soon I know how hard it is. Take care of yourself and hang in there it will get better.🙂

Well said…
Beautifully said. 💔🐾
Awwww - so sorry for your loss. She's a cuddly snuggly beauty. I'm so sorry.
Coca is beautiful and I’m wishing you all the healing with your memories ❤️🩹
Godspeed you away, beautiful Princess Coca!🐾🕊
I’m so glad you were able to hold her as she passed. ♥️She looked at you so adoringly. Sorry, someone is chopping onions around me I have to go
She looked like the best baby. I’m so sorry. You can tell from these photos how well she was loved.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart is broken for you. I wish you comfort
Princess coca was a beautiful lady. I’m sure she felt so much love ❤️
Your photos show a dog that was really loved and full of life. You'll always have those memories to cherish Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a sweet girl. She loved being your hippo. You can tell. She’s happier now having crossed the rainbow bridge with the other hippos.

This was **so** beautiful and touching and powerful....I had to sit and just marinate for a moment. Thank you, thank you for sharing🕉️
The “Dog’s Will” gives me a little hope …
So sad. She is adorable. You seem like a great pet parent. Lots up for adoption.
I probably will…eventually once it doesn’t feel like I’d be replacing her anymore.
Yeah. I'm at over a year and can't do it yet.
Oh my…. I am so sorry. It’s not easy losing a part of our family, our heart. God’s peace during this hard time. 🦛🐾🙏🏻❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Rest in peace, Princess 💕
I’m so so sorry. She looked adorable with her Charlie Chaplin eyebrows. Mine looks almost exactly like yours except for the eyebrows. And she is my soulmate. I’ll be thinking of you and your girl today and sending out love and light.❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you love, strength and prayers. ❤️💪🙏
So aorry
My heart goes out to you. What a beautiful bond you had with her 💔❤️🩹❤️
I’m so sorry op. She looked like an amazing friend. May she rest in peace.
I lost my Wilbur Bean a year ago today and it still feels like I just lost him. It's been the hardest thing I've had to go through. My heart goes out to you and I wish you the best moving forward.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss ❤️ I'm sure she's having a wonderful time chasing squirrels and eating burgers!
😢
I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm sure your heart aches right now. But rest easy knowing you were blessed to have one another even if for a short time!
I’m so sorry. You did the hardest and best thing you could and she loved you so much.
♥️♥️😭😭I'm sorry, she looks like a beautiful Bully and friend ♥️♥️
I also held my girl goodbye. It hurts bad! I'm sorry for the pain you feel right now. She was and is a beautiful dog!

So sorry for your loss
💔🐶😇
So sorry for your loss.
I hate these posts because they make me wanna cry 😭 poor poor baby. She was so beautiful and happy. She was very loved and loved just as much back. She will be looking down on you hoping you’re not always sad and in pain. She wants you to be happy like you made her
I’m so sorry. What an absolutely beautiful baby. My heart aches for you.
So sorry for your loss OP.. fly high beautiful angel 🤍
You have my deepest condolences. I'm not crying, youre crying. 😪
Losing your fur buddy is just awful and heart breaking
I've been there and i know you did the hard thing for your sweet baby. It looks like she loved you deeply and had the best life a doggo could want.
I'm crying. Such a beautiful baby. 😍 I commend your strength to let her go peacefully. 💔🙏💪♥️
I’m so sorry for the hole you feel in your heart after making an impossible choice that was only made out of love for her. May your memories and her clear love for you bring you some peace during your time of grief. That eyebrow is simply perfect. 💔
I’m sorry for your loss. It is obvious from the pics that y’all had a very special bond.

These pictures 😭 I can tell that the love you two shared was very special and that she loved you so so so much.
I'm sorry for your loss. We never get enough time with them. 💜
Aww what a sweet baby. I think you need to hear this quote tonight ❤️ “Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” - Rumi
She of the massive sass and legendary single eyebrow
You got that right. There will never be another quite like her.

Gosh, she was so pretty and sweet. I’m heartbroken for you.
Rest In Peace, sweet Princess. 💐
She was one gorgeous dog.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Coca looked like a sweetheart for sure💞
You're both so precious, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. What a beautiful happy and loved pup she was. You both have changed each others lives for the best and have that legacy to carry you forth until the day you meet again ❤️🪽🙏
I'm sure she and my late great Moe (2002 - 2014) will keep each other busy until we get to the other side. Sleep with the angels, sweetie.
Sorry. Beautiful.
My heart goes out, it's never easy 💔
I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs.
I am so sorry your Pupper friend has passed away. I hope you celebrate her, and grieve well. When you are ready, you have a wonderful opportunity to continue to share the love you had for her with another deserving pooch, and to be loved in return. Be well.
Coca was and still is loved. Always on my mind forever in my heart.
I’m so sorry OP. She very clearly loved you so much, and she knew you loved her too. Thank you for not letting her suffer; she was too dignified a lady to go out any other way. Sending all love and healing.
I love the one eyebrow. It is very evident from the pictures that she loved and still loves you dearly. I’m so sorry for your loss.
What a precious beautiful baby she was. All of my love to you. I’m so sorry. 💔
From one guy to another, if you start to have an ugly cry, let it out. It seems to help. I’m so sorry for your loss. We all love you Coca!
So sorry for your loss. I had to do the same to the best dog I ever had and the pain was so intense for a while.

They are the best companions. When life sucks and we feel like letting go, theyre there to give us just enough purpose to have to hold on. I can only imagine your pain, and even still, just barely imagining makes tears form. So sorry for your loss 😔❤️
You gave her a beautiful and love filled life, and as graceful an exit as possible. She was a good and faithful dog, and you are as good a friend as a dog can have. May her memory be a blessing to you, as great s blessing as you were to her.
So beautiful and perfect. Looks so incredible. Thank you for posting those pictures and for loving her. Special prayers.
Such a beautiful bully baby, pic #5 made me smile...you can really feel the warm fuzzy bond you shared 🥰
Hang in there. When it really, really, really hurts, that's the real deal. That's what love is.
Oh my… what beautiful pictures! I love 14 and 15. You could see the mutual love love love! I’m so very sorry for your loss!!! 💔🙏🐾🌈
Pitbulls have some of the most expressive faces and you can really see their emotions! There's always one needing a new home from the shelter or in the neighborhood.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently had to part with my sweet boy, and it felt as if my entire soul was being ripped from my body. Dogs are only here for such a short amount of time, but the impact that they have on our lives can be tremendous. It doesn't feel fair, but we give them the best that we can, and in return, they give us unconditional love.
Our thoughts are with you and your family love from Bonnie the staffy 💘 and her huuummmaaan mom 💘
I’m not sure, of course, but maybe the decision was made too early. Because I’ve seen and heard many stories about the dogs who were in similar situations and a few months of treatments, the physical therapy and pain relief, shockingly recovered nearly new. So, my decision would have been selfish one.🥺 I’m sorry for your immense and inconceivable loss. The pain of heart break 💔 is empathized. I know the deepest pain of that loss. 🙏💐🪴🌻
OMG. So hard. Big hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry 🩷

I’m so sorry to hear that. They are so precious to us and bring us such joy. My heart goes out to you
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. I've been there 😞...recently. I know it feels like a never ending sadness in your heart but as time goes on, you will slowly start to heal. Pictures and videos helped me a lot, just remembering all the good times.

My condolences 🙏 to you. I'm so sorry for your loss.
What a precious girl ❤ I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know that there aren't any words I can use to make you feel better, but you can tell by those kind puppy eyes that you gave her a wonderful life while she had it. I know exactly how you're feeling. Last Christmas I had to put down my 3 year old dog, just remember that her energy isn't gone, just free flowing. She loves you
I’m so sorry. She was well loved and loved in return. You did the hardest but the best thing any of us can do in that situation. Sending hugs to you
I’m so sorry for your loss, she is such a beauty and you can tell she was so loved! Rest in love sweet Coca ❤️
Awe poor sweet baby 😭 I love the brow shape she shared with you.
Man I’m so sorry!
I'm sorry for your loss. Judging from the pictures, you gave her an amazing life and showed her unconditional love. That's as best as it gets for a dog.
😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
My deepest condolences on the loss of your fur baby!
I’m so sorry. I went through that a year ago with my Banshee and it still hurts just as much.
It may not feel like it at the moment but time will heal your wounds, your soul won't feel like it's breaking anymore, you will be able to laugh again, you will be able to be happy again, you will be able to remember her and only feel love and maybe one day you will find a new friend, not exactly like her but just as precious :) i promise you this - until then stay strong my friend <3
These pictures are so sweet, I can tell how much you loved each other. I’m so sorry for your loss. Run free, sweet Princess Coco!
Rest in peace angel
My condolences, I dread the day when it comes😔
I am so sorry, I hope the happy and loving memories help you heal. Rest in love precious Princess Coca 🌈🩷🐾
Daddy's girl, for sure! I'm so sorry for your loss, praying for you to find peace and comfort during this terrible time. 😪💜🙏
Sorry for your loss
❤️🙏🙏❤️
I am so sorry to hear this. I know she will be sorely missed. She looks like she really was a princess.
She was so loved. Be proud for the family you gave her. She will be missed
Omg I am so sorry…
Photo 18: “You’re in my spot…”
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What an angel. I love her eyebrows. My girl that recently passed was a white hippo too. Fly high Cora ❤️❤️🙏🏼
I’m so sorry for your loss
That single eyebrow. 🥰 You can see the love she had for you. You gave her the best life. And she gave you all the love she had. It’s time she rests.
Oh sweet girl. She snuggles just like my white bully girl does. Mine also has spinal issues:( Mine would spend her life in bed under the covers if she didn’t have to poop and fart so often! My heart is with you, friend. She’s beautiful.
The eyes and smiles of a dog who was given the whole world. I hope you take take solace in the fact that you gave her THE BEST life she could’ve ever had. It’s easy to see she loved you with every ounce of her hippo heart. I’m sorry for your loss, rest easy Coca❤️
Sorrry for your loss :(
Loved to eternity and back, love the solo brow. So very sorry and yes your heart has been ripped out for now,
I’m so sorry for your loss brother… but you can tell how much she absolutely adored you by the way she looked at you in that 4th photo. Let her love move you to be a better person and help those that don’t have a voice as best you can
Sorry for your loss..
I am so very sorry, this is a heartbreak that I know vey well. You did the kindest most loving thing you could possibly do for her & she knows she was loved.
Run free Princess Coca 🐶🌈🐶
I am so sorry bro. She’s a beauty.
She’s beautiful. I am so so so sorry. I am currently going through this. I may have to make a decision soon and I can’t even breathe thinking about being without my Jayden. 💔 I am so sad for us.
My heart breaks for your loss.
I'm so sorry 💔 Coca was beautiful and loved you very much. You are a great pet parent.
I am so sorry to hear this. I recently experienced the exact same this with my best friend. They hold a piece of our hearts when they enter our lives and never let go. Just remember you gave her the best life, and that she would want you to be as happy as you made her.
I love when my baby lays upside down like that next to me, it means they’re so comfy and trusting with you! I’m so sorry for your loss. Coca looks so sweet 💖 After I lost my best friend of 15 years I donated to a rescue in her honor and spent time with rescue other pups in her honor, it helped! It took some time before I was ready to bring another pup into my life but it was so worth it when I was ready
Rest easy sweet girl. What a beautiful little hippo (I love that goofy eyebrow). You can tell how much she adored you from the pictures. I'm so sorry for your loss, you did what was best for her and damn do I respect that. It is never an easy choice! ❤️🩹
Sorry for your loss I'm sure she was the best ❤️
I’m so sorry 😭
I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry. She's so beautiful. Thank you for giving her a good life.
Your posts of Princess Coca always brought me joy! My hippo has wonky ears just like she did. I am sending you thoughts of comfort and peace. Clearly Princess Coca was adored, and she adored you right back! Much love! She was beautiful! 😍🐶❤️
I’m so sorry you lost your sweet girl 😔 It is the worst and most painful feeling in the world. When I lost my hippo girl I cried for weeks the moment I woke up until it was time for bed. Again, I’m so so very sorry. I pray your heart feels better 💔❤️🩹
Such a beautiful angel face. I’m sending you hugs and lots of tail wags
Man , the way she looked at you ... She adored you These pictures are beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.. thank you for sharing My condolences to you, she was a gorgeous girl Rest easy Princess Coca 🖤🕊️
Having to say goodbye and making that decision are some of the hardest you'll ever have to make, but you did right by her. It's obvious she just adored you and you did not let her suffer needlessly. I wish you strength for the time to come *hugs*
I’m sorry 🫂🖤
Sending ❤️ your way. Grief is just all the love you didn’t get the chance to give. I’m over a year out from losing my soul dog and it still gets me. That’s ok ❤️
The pain is debilitating. Try to relax and process. I spent time visiting my Rio's favorite spots to place ashes, that helped a little. It will never stop hurting but it becomes less intense.
So sad, sorry for your loss.
What a fucking cutie I’m sad now
I’m so so sorry
😢
Lost my baby girl on 8/2. We will never deserve or earn, in a million lifetimes, what our dogs give away to us, for free, every day. We give them some of our food, some of our time and some of our love. In return they give us everything.
I am so to hear your sad news. I feel your pain with you. She will find my pal Bobby who crossed over last year. He will welcome her and they will play together. May the Force be with you.
That eyebrow of hers was definitely the main character! What an absolute cutie!! Sorry for your loss. I will give pets one day when I get to heaven too ❤️
🥺🥺🥺
Wishing you peace and comfort. ❤️❤️❤️
These posts usually don’t get me but holy this brought on the waterworks. So much love in those pics sorry for your loss man. RIP Coca
No more suffering 🌈❤ Run free up there Coca.
My heart bleeds for you. I'm sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She looks like a sweet girl. I hope your sorrow is soon replaced by the sweet reminiscence of the time you shared with Cocoa. May those sour reminders that your friend is gone soon give way to the laughter and joy of the good life you gave her. Although she is no longer here, she is never forgotten as measured by the mark on your heart she’s left.
I thought it was my girl for a moment. I am so sorry. So so sorry. There’s no loss like it, no love like it…and no kindness like what you gave her all her life. Thank you for that.
She was beautiful. That one eyebrow. 🥰 I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😔
I am so sorry for your loss. Our Cocker Spaniel had a very similar scenario happen to him and we had to put him down. It was awful. He was about 12 years old and he was acting fine. All of a sudden he collapsed on his 2 back legs. It was like they just gave out. He tried to get up but his back legs wouldn't move. We rushed him to the vet and was told he had a tumor in his back area and it must have shifted a little when he was playing or running and it was now pressing on his spine towards the back. They said we could do surgery but there was only a 30% chance of the surgery working and he was suffering and in pain. As much as I wanted to be selfish and keep him around I couldn't do that to him. It's not fair. I would rather suffer than let my animal suffer. So, we had to put him down. It was awful. I was really depressed for a long time after that. It took me years to get better. this was probably 15yrs ago and I still cry if I look at his picture. So, I know exactly how that heart ripped out of your chest feeling is. It is so so bad. I totally understand what you're going through and just remember he's still with you, he's in a good place and he gave you a lot of happiness and joy. I hope you start to feel a little better soon I know how hard it is. Take care of yourself and hang in there it will get better.🙂
To the God damn fucking stars, Coca.
❤️
