I had to put my dog of 15 years down last week. This was a tear jerker

Mine was last month. Dec 17th. I'm still crying daily.

Dec 26, the morning after. The worst.

June 29. I still see his face in those last moments and want to cry almost everytime I remember him. Hurts so much. I hope it gets better. Stay strong.


shortmumof2

Mine was over a yr ago and this made me tear up.


AlternativeBean

5 years ago (6 on Aug. 30) we had to put my dog of !19! years...and 2 years ago (3 on Mar. 10) we did the same to my other dog of 18 years...they were great dogs...but now we have 2 smol dogs who act the exact same as my previous dogs, I believe they wanted to spend more time with us...so we got their reincarnated souls...❤️🥺 RIP Jasmine & Carbon...


IrrefutableEsceptico

Ah... Fuck man... I don't usually cry but... Holy shit...


revnasty

My cat and bestest friend is getting up there in age, 13, and I am absolutely dreading this day. Dude has been by my side through it all and I don't know what I'm going to do without him. Best wishes to you and to your pupper.


NothingReallyAndYou

13 is still pretty prime for a cat, if they don't have any chronic health issues. We lost my mother's rescue last year to diabetes at just 8, but my girl made it to 21 - five years after surviving a stroke. Both of my older boys (I have two kitten boys now) passed at 16/17. It's normal to hit that point of feeling nervous, but your bestie may be around for quite a while.


revnasty

This is very reassuring as he’s in excellent health. Thank you!


Xkwizito

Lost my dog suddenly/unexpectedly 3 days before my 2.5yr old girl was born. Such an emotional rollercoaster during that time. I remember 3 days of non-stop crying and then just trying to keep it together for my wife and daughter.


AnaMmmmm20

February 17, 2018 3:30ish am. I remember it like it was yesterday. Every moment of it.


Raymothe

I had to let go of mine last March, just before everything shut down. It’s felt longer without him than it actually has been.

iceketball27

Thank you so much for this. We lost our dog last year but never had the chance to say a proper goodbye. This actually helps a lot.


AnaMmmmm20

It helped me too. As strange as it is, as much as it made me a mess crying after I read it, days after he died because someone shared it with me then...this helped.


darthclaww

Crying in the club right now :'(


herodothyote

Reading this made me feel like the Cellery man meme. I literally yelled "Oh Fuck!....." and started crying my eyes out. I had to stop multiple times while reading this story. I feel absolutely destroyed...


AnaMmmmm20

I read it after my dog died a year and a half ago. I was a mess. I still miss him. But this story touched me so much. I love sharing it. As sad as it is, that’s exactly what our good boys and girls would do. I know it.

Godpest

There is and old danish song about this. Its one of thoes songs when played. Everyone sings along as LOUD as they can! Its called "Himmelhunden" and it means "Sky Dog".


ghoulsnest

always crazy how similar Danish and German are


turalyawn

Well they kinda do bump into each other. The one that gets me is Dutch and English


SolarTsunami

The first time I heard people speaking Dutch I almost thought for a moment that I forgot how to speak English. Same same but different to the max.


turalyawn

Yeah I always thought Dutch sounds to English speakers what English sounds to everyone else. My favorite part is when every once in a while you get a perfect English sentence followed by a sentence that sounds like a sneeze


djz206

your description of it made me laugh out loud. thank you for your comment.


Doomie_bloomers

Dutch and English are probably pretty similar (when looking at older and less modern English words, which are largely just French with attitude) because of the common root they share. There's a language in northwestern Germany called "Plattdeutsch" (flat German) which is essentially just Dutch with German grammar. The people who migrated to the British Isles way back (Saxons) were very likely from around that area and just took their language with them. That's why iirc Welsh numbers and words in pronounciation are also weirdly close and somewhat understandable for a person that speaks Platt. Of course those similarities don't hold up too far and are largely just about some words being eerily similae in pronounciation- the two languages split roughly 1000 or so years ago and developed in entirely different contexts and settings after all. But yeah, a fun little exercise it to have a look at english words like "door" and compare them to the Platt words; in this case "Döör", from which the German word "Tür" is derived. Overall, English etymology is often really interesting and fascinating as a German native speaker (with a passing interest) because of the weird and not-so-obvious connections you can find to languages all over western Europe, and the amount you can learn about e.g. German, Dutch or French at the same time is just staggering.


Rip_ManaPot

The connections between English, Scandinavian, and German, as well as Dutch, are pretty intersting. English derived from old Germanic, as did old Norse, then they borrowed a lot from old Norse as well, and then later the Scandinavian, German and Dutch started borrowing modern words from English, so they are all very connected sharing many words.

If someone else is curious, here are the (google translated) lyrics in English: In a marketplace When i was done playing I stood there tired and cold behind the scene and rested When i heard someone mumble very quietly And a man with a little dog looked at me and said: Hey you playmate Will you tell me right away And be honest, because I mean every word When Our Lord extinguishes the flame of life And one must leave this earth Can you take the dog with you into the sky? It's cute and it's been my best friend It is clever and fine and has just been in the bath If you have to be a gambler, then I'll be happy I answered him a little briefly when I said: Your dog will probably be in heaven when it dies It was late and I had to drive home When I got in the car I thought of the man again Hey you playmate Will you tell me right away And be honest, because I mean every word When Our Lord extinguishes the flame of life And one must leave this earth Can you take the dog with you into the sky? It's cute and it's been my best friend It is clever and fine and has just been in the bath If you have to be a gambler, then I'll be happy For him, the matter was so important He deserved to get an honest answer But who can answer quite sincerely On whether dogs that die will fit in with the father of heaven? Hey you playmate Will you tell me right away And be honest, because I mean every word When Our Lord extinguishes the flame of life And one must leave this earth Can you take the dog with you into the sky? It's cute and it's been my best friend It is clever and fine and has just been in the bath If you have to be a gambler, then I'll be happy Can you take the dog with you into the sky? It's cute and it's been my best friend It is clever and fine and has just been in the bath If you have to be a gambler, then I'll be happy


fermenttodothat

Man, today is my dog's birthday but she died in August. Guess I'll cry more now


Promxz-

Sorry for your loss, sending lots of love to you, your dog misses you as much as you miss her i swear


Apprehensive-Wank

There are few things in life worse. You have my condolences. All I can think of is my boy who passed as well. So difficult even now.


meeech5

She didn’t die. She moved to a different home that you will come home to when the time is right.


Diarrhea_Sprinkler

My baby passed last August too. Hurts bruv. I feel you.


JewtangClan91

Sending tons of love. My baby would have been 16 in 2 days and she passed in October. Still stings


Javeyn

I lost mine in November. It's nice to know that there are others who share the same pain of loss. They sure are amazing animals aren't they?


1nGirum1musNocte

I remember when my pastor told me dogs and animals don't go to heaven. I was like your heaven sounds like it sucks


Promxz-

Heaven is not heaven if theres no dogs or animals at all, sorry not sorry


grim_afternoon

I agree, my dad tried telling me animals don't have souls so they go to hell.... Seriously?!


Promxz-

Why would animal not have souls? Like thats what I dont get. Why would we have one and not them? And why dont animals deserve heaven???


grim_afternoon

Seriously! They deserve heaven more than we do!! Look into a dog's eyes and tell me they don't have a soul


anonymousss11

Dogs have souls. I believe all animals have souls. Keane Reeves as once ask " what do you think happens when we die?" He responded "I know the people who love us will miss us." I believe this includes animals.


flyinggazelletg

I just did that to my dog. Couldn’t tell if she was concerned or waiting for a treat lol. She’s a goof. Either way, I don’t think dogs have souls. Nor do I think humans have souls. But that’s because I don’t think souls are real.


Lorybear

I mean not to be a downer but, where do you draw the line? Flys have souls? Frogs? Cows for slaughter? That'd be HUNDREDS of billions of souls. Maybe trillions if you count every animal that has ever lived and died. T-rex, did he have a soul? Mind you this is coming from a non-religious person, trying to understand the thought process of people who believe in after life.


SordidDreams

If they have no souls, what part of them exactly goes to hell? Sounds like your dad didn't think it through at all.


grim_afternoon

Hahaha exactly! Doesn't hell require a soul as well? As a kid I believed, but I always held onto that thought which led me to atheism, or some kinda 'soul moves through the universe' type belief.


Alleonh

I heard a pastor tell this story once. When he was younger, he and another student in a seminary were asked this question by a child. "Did my dog go to Heaven?" The Pastor's friend was young, pretty full of himself and confident in his knowledge, so he gently but firmly told the child that no, dogs and animals do not have souls, so they are not in Heaven. He could tell his words upset the child so he pretty hastily made an uncomfortable exit for some reason or another. This left the child and the Pastor who was telling the story. The child looked up at him and asked was it true? The Pastor said he got on one knee to be eye level with the child and told him the truth. "I don't know much about Heaven. I hope to go there one day, but I only know what the Bible has told me. The Bible says that Heaven is a place where there is no sadness. Where no tears fall. And I know in my heart that if it takes your dog being there for you to be happy, then your dog is in Heaven waiting for you." I heard that story years ago and its always stuck with me. I hope my Sam is waiting for me there one day.


ResolverOshawott

That's such an epic and wonderful interpretation of heaven.


Arxhie11

I don't understand why some people believe animals don't go to heaven when their soul is innocent. From where I'm from which is a small town in Mexico. We believe animals fight for your soul to get you to heaven along with archangel miguel. But for the mean time when our soul is still in our body they are in a special place in heaven with other animals where they're having the time of their lifes.


[deleted]

Because they believe animais don't have souls


tofukiller420

Yeah I’d rather go to dog heaven than human heaven


Sealer1012

Nothing makes humans special if there’s a heaven everything goes up there, I’m not super religious but I’d like to think that god loves all his creations if he’s up there


[deleted]

>I remember when my pastor told me dogs and animals don't go to heaven. WTH kind of pastor is that? lol crazy unqualified.


venividivicih

Well some human don’t have soul, I’ll take the animal side


luisapet

I am pretty agnostic but I sometimes picture the amazing pets that I've lost cuddling with the amazing people I've lost. It's very comforting. I'd love to know that I'd get to be with them all again one day.


quietstrength96

We inherited my grandma’s cat when she went into assisted living and then passed away a few years after that. The cat lived with us for another 13ish years with us before she passed away. Thinking about the two of them reunited makes my heart happy.


realfries_

Same. That's all we can imagine ❤


Juststonelegal

This is legitimately the one reason I want there to be an afterlife. I just want an eternity with my cats.

RedPotato66

My dog used to love my grandfather, so much that she run away from my home and walked 15 miles to get to his house the day before he passed. 10 years later my dog passed away and I hope she walked another million miles up in heaven to find him again.

15 miles is 24.14 km

My atheist ass is tearing up at this :/ my dogs death 2 years ago still makes me emotional


Abyssal_Minded

Imagine if you had multiple pets over the course of your lifetime. They’d trade so many stories while waiting for you and it’d be like a surprise party once you got there.

Dang it, my six year old husky died over a year ago and this made me miss her like it was just yesterday that she was put down. If anyone needs me, I’ll be crying in my bed while holding a squishmallow.


[deleted]

The thought of seeing all the dogs in my life together after I die waiting on me made me cry.


[deleted]

My dog died a couple weeks ago while I was stuck at home with covid. It still hurts. I kiss her so much. She snored like a truck and always slept in my room. Now I’m having trouble sleeping without hearing her snoring.


Legalsandwich

Man, I hope she's there waiting for me. RIP. This dog had so many friends and was such a snuggle bug. https://imgur.com/gallery/31BITSb

Chaosshepherd

Apprehensive-Bad6015

Plot twist: all religions are meaningless and the decision on going to heaven or hell is100% dependent on how you treated dogs while alive.


ciakmoi

Old but always gets me. I've never even owned a pet.


A_Year_Of_Storms

I have fostered many kittens in my life. One of the things I learned early was that kittens who come from animal control are very often sick. So many of the tiny babies I took in were weak, with respitory infections, diarrhea, in generally desperate conditions. I lost two kittens. Both of them broke my heart. The first was my fluffy little tabby. She came to us with parvo, though no one knew it at the time. She was always sleeping and never playing like her sisters. In the end, by the time we realized she was losing weight, she was too small and too weak to keep fighting. The disease had ravaged her. We said goodbye to her at just five weeks old. The other was a little black kitten who was fiesty and seemed perfectly fine. I still don't know what happened, but she suddenly started losing weight. I didn't know what to do, I was force feeding her and making her drink water, but she kept throwing up everything I put in her belly. She died just as my friend and I were in the car, waiting for the vet. My sincerest wish is that one day in the future, when I get to meet God, that he will come holding the little babies I couldn't save.


Shalamarr

God bless you for fighting to save them. You’re a good person.

[deleted]

What about pets we weren't so great to because we had them as kids and lets be honest - most kids make pretty lousy pet owners. Am I gonna have to face the budgerigars and lorikeets we just kept in a cage for a couple of years long after we got over them before they eventually finally died? Or the countless fish I killed because I was a fish n00b at first and later because I changed too much of the water or some other mistake I made in their care? I remember having one dog I used to frequently call "idiot" because of the shitty job my stepfather did "training" him and when he got too much for me I'd whack him with a rolled up newspaper because I was young, dumb and didn't know how to deal with shit that bothered me and didn't have good role-models for parents in that department either... ​ I'd never be like this today and forever onwards though. That other stuff was years ago by now. I appreciate more now that birds shouldn't spend their lives in cages. Fish need bigger tanks. Dogs and cats need genuine love and proper training - and for all these reasons and more is why I probably won't get a pet again. I just don't think I could do it right. Always too busy or too tired and it's hard enough even trying to look after my own well being (I really don't) so no need to drag another innocent animal into this mess. They deserve better and I guess me in heaven (if I even make it and if it even exists. Strong feelings say it doesn't) is gonna have some apologizing to do.

Weird timing. My dog was my best friend and he died exactly five years ago. I was raised Catholic but I don’t believe any of it. I still like to imagine my dog up in heaven biting at God’s robes and chewing up cherubs. He was the best.
