He’s was one of the rare folks that wanted to hang out 24-7. Met him 4 years ago in front of a Kmart. He was in a box marked ‘free’.
We worked together, he liked to ride in our truck.
He was a master thief and relished in a good swipe.
He enjoyed the river and zoomies. And staring at me.
He was a working class guy who once chased a hated manager out of a place we would frequent. He received extra treats for this from the employees who were among his best friends.
I’m sorry I let you down bud. You should still be here with me. I’ll miss you.
Update: Thank you all so much. Sorry I had to vent with a sad post.
I buried him in the shade of a cherry tree. Rest easy pal.
Communities are for supporting one another. That sounds like a beautiful place for a beloved friend.
You gotta feel your feelings. Losing a pet is hard. You should have seen me at the vet when my Cockatiel died, I was wailing like a banshee! (Sorry to make it about me, I just want you to know you’re not alone and it’s normal to feel how you do.)
In other words, let it all out, we don’t mind at all.
Cherry trees are beautiful. I bet he’s marking it in the afterlife hahaha
Four years as a dog with what looks like a fulfilled and happy life is not something you should feel bad about. You were a true friend to him.
Thank you.
I lost my best friend and first “dog I adopted as an adult” a few weeks ago and it was so hard. Something that surprised me was how much comfort I took in people offering sympathy. You gave him a good life and loved him every day. May we all be so lucky
solidarity in your sorrow, comrade.
Thank you.
Please forgive yourself.
I’m just sad, he trusted me and I couldn’t help him. I’ll get over it. Just hurting right now.
My condolences, looks like you gave him a great life. Super cute pics.
Thank you.
Every photo, I see a happy pooch. Four years isn’t as long a time as some others get but you can see that his time alive was good. You made him as happy as he made you, and that’s all we can hope for with the limited time we get.
RIP little friend.
Thank you. He was a happy guy.
Beautiful pup, so sorry for your loss comrade
Thank you.
You can really see how loved he was in those pictures. I’m sure he had 4 good years because of you and I’m sure he knew he was loved. I’m so sorry for your loss and know how hard it is.
I lost my dog of 14 years just a few weeks ago. He apparently had cancer and was hiding it until he couldn’t. It was very sudden and still very painful. I’m trying to find a good picture for his urn but it’s still too hard. I think I’m going to write him a letter to process my feelings, sort of like you’ve done here. My condolences again.
oh god, this post is making me tear up. I am really sorry for your loss, I’m glad you got to make some fun memories together.
Sorry for sad posting. Thank you.
Oh little pupperino. Sorry for your loss, he looks magical.
Thank you.
rest in power furry little comrade
He had a wonderful life. Of all the hundreds of people to walk past him, you gave him that, and that’s all that matters.
Thank you. Really he gave me a lot. He was my lil seratonin drip
I know what it’s like. You have my sympathy.
I’m so sorry comrade, I wish I could say it gets easier
He looks so happy in the pictures
Thank you. I need to print some of his picture to give to his friends
I need to go hug my old girl. My condolences comrade
Thank you.
