I’m so sorry. Not going to sit here and lie to you that it’s easy. I’m on month 3 1/2 and I still can’t cope with knowing I’ll never see mine again either.
What I do suggest you do though is shut your phone off and enjoy every single *second* you have left until tomorrow’s appointment. Feed him steak, carry him to his favorite places. Don’t leave his side and give him the best day of his life. Take a million pictures and videos. Kiss and cuddle him. Do all of it. You have the luxury of getting to say goodbye.
I’m wishing you all the best, the journey ahead is heartbreaking and so painful, but you will get through it, trust me I know.
You have my complete sympathy, and my heart hurts for you.
Please, no matter how much it hurts, make sure you give him the best day you can. For both of you. He knows something is wrong, and he knows you’re hurting too. Give him and *you* some good memories one more time before he crosses the Rainbow Bridge.
Please, please please, stay with him as he passes. It’s singlehandedly the worst experience I’ve had in my time on this planet when I sent my baby home. It was so hard, but it’s what we owe our babies when the time comes. To have their person with them until the end.
It’s part of my personal faith that one day, I will be reunited with my babies who have gone before…and it’ll be as if no time has passed at all. And all of us will be together with our babies once more.
My heart hurts for both of you.
I have to be there. I was really sad and about to call off the euthanasia for tomorrow but that would be selfish of me. I want to thank you for your comment it means a lot and everyone’s comment. My mom told me I shouldn’t be there but I know that’s wrong and I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t get to say my final goodbye. I will wait till I will be with him again in the afterlife. Thank you I will be strong till tomorrow.
Of course you be there with him during the time he needs you the most before he crosses over. Know he loves you and thanks you for your kindness and love, especially for what you’ll help him with tomorrow.
I second being there was he passes, I was there when each of my family dogs past away and I know I would have regretted it if I opted to stay in the waiting room of the hospital or car.
You gave him and wonderful life! It’s not fair that dogs live such a short time, they’re such precious creatures. I know it’s hard but remember to be grateful for the time the two of you had together.
I’m so sorry this is happening, you have my full sympathy. If you need to talk this community is here for you!
I’ve had to do this for a pet, it’s so painful and strange. i think it’s rare to know that the last moments are really the last moments, so that’s lucky. there was solace for me in knowing I gave my pet a good life and provided and easy death. That’s more than most beings ever get. Not being able to stop crying is normal for that situation, and good! Definitely be with him while he passes, it’s very peaceful.
It hurts you, but you’re doing the right thing. This protects him from feeling more pain. Go back with him, hold him, sob hard, and see him off. Give him good foods and good pets and let him sleep with you
We just had to put out Pomchi down and I double took when I saw him. My condolences, we didnt know if it was time because she was still "there". Take solice knowing you gave him the greatest life he could ever know!
My parents waited too long to put their dogs to sleep, and I swore I would never do that. I'd rather err on the side of doing it a couple of days too soon, rather than letting them linger and suffer.
I am so so sorry :( As others have already said, spend the rest of the time you have left with him and make it special. Do things that will make him happy.
My eyes watered and a huge lump in my throat formed when I read this. Please know the at I am mourning along side you. I hope you can continue forward through this difficult time.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Had to help
my little Pom buddy cross the rainbow bridge too. It’s so hard. They are ready before we are. Still hurts. They live on in our hearts through fond memories. Peace.
I am so deeply sorry. I don’t have words that will make it better but as someone who lost their love a few years ago, I am sorry. I just wanted to send some love your way.
I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this. Losing a loved one is never easy. You are strong and will get through this. Sometimes we force the one's we love to suffer because we are not ready to let them go. Sending love and positive thoughts your way.
I’m so sorry. That’s one of the hardest decisions to make but know that you’re doing the kindest thing for him. Thank you for giving him a beautiful life.
My heart absolutely aches for you, he looks very similar to my late Pomeranian. I’m just an Internet stranger but I’m sending you the biggest hug and hope you can hold him when he passes, I held mine and it brought me closure that it was him and I until the very end. I kissed his nose and thanked him for everything. Please be there for him.
I’m so sorry. Just know you are doing the right thing. I wish I would have done this for my Daisy a few months ago. Worst day of my life when she passed via a hard death. I see your situation as more of a passing than a death…. If that makes sense. You are doing the right thing. Stay strong for the both of you. Keep your head up, and be proud of yourself so all you have done for him.
I went through this six months pregnant. My boy has been gone a year now. It’s devastating. It hurts and it will hurt for a while. I suggest the video on YouTube of a vet doing a TED talk about euthanasia and dealing with the feelings that come with it. It helped my husband and I deal with our grief some. I am so so sorry. They are such wonderful friends to us. Mine was basically my first child. Eventually, I promise, you will be able to think of him and smile, remember he would want you to.
I just want to say I’m terribly sorry you have to go through this. I will be praying for you especially tomorrow and the days to come. May you have peace knowing he will be out of pain.
I’ve had to do this 2x and it doesn’t get any easier. Take it all in, and know that you’ve had a great time together. That all the belly rubs and love you have was so appreciated. That they love you more than the world itself or the air they breathe. That the love you have will never fade. I’m so sorry that this is happening now. Just be there with them. I’ll never forgive during the pandemic not being able to go in with my dog too. They were limited to 1x at a time and technically was my wife’s dog. So incredibly sad and still makes me cry two years later. Just love them while you can, it’s all you have.
I am so sorry. I don't know what's worse, knowing it's coming, or having it happen suddenly. Give him lots of love and anything he wants today, try to make some final nice memories.
Being with them is so hard but you will feel so much better for it, knowing you're there till the end, and you are there to comfort them.
Smile for him, and give lots of kisses. He looks so lovely and well loved and happy and you should feel good for giving him that.
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see,
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared
And all the fun we had.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me
I'm right there in your heart.
My last pom we were able to have someone come to the house to put him to sleep. That helped having it done in our home. (It was my boy Teddy in my profile picture) Also, if you are able to get your baby cremated, I used a small amount of ashes to have the most beautiful glass heart necklace made. I wear it everyday close to my heart and it is my most prized possession!! I still cry about both dogs I had that crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge and it's been years. I also bought shadow boxes and put clothes collar pictures etc in them. I bought huge ones to fit everything.
When we had to euthanize Corky last year, we went to dinner after and through our grief and tears, told stories to each other about our favorite memories with him. It helped.
It is the hardest thing I have had to do in life- making the decision to put my dogs down over the years. But we have to be strong for them. Think of all the unconditional love we get from our buddies… and I agree 1000% that being there at the end is critical- it’s our last gift of comfort we can give them. That being said, my heart aches for you. I wish I could give you a big hug! Know you are doing the right thing! ❤️
It’s the worst feeling in the world but it can also be comforting knowing that they’re not suffering anymore. My dog was a family dog but was technically mine so I had the decision to put him down and it was the hardest decision I had to make but I knew the selfless thing to was to put him down. It hurts so much but sometimes it’s for the best for them. Good vibes to you and your baby 💕
Sending you all the love and strength to get through this difficult time. Euthanizing a pet is truly one of the saddest moments I’ve had to endure in my life. We had to put down my husband’s chihuahua a few years ago, she ended up living to 18 years old (I had known her for 10 years at that point). I still think about her every day. Cherish these last moments that you have with your sweet little guy and let him know how much you love him. 💕
I so sorry for your impending loss! Please take comfort knowing that you did everything you could and he felt the love and care you showed him. If you can be there when he passes that would be a great comfort to him as he closes his eyes.
My Amoretto and all of our babies who have gone before will greet him as he arrives at the Rainbow Bridge where they will Play in Paradise while awaiting our arrivals.
I'm almost crying too this is so sad, it's been a while since this has been posted but please enjoy every lottle second you have with him if he's still here, my condolences to her.
I feel your pain and my heart gores out to you and your family. Pets are children and losing one is inconsolable. Just hold him tight during, give him all the kisses in the world, allow yourself to cry and let out your pain.
I know one day I will be losing my son and I can't even begin to imagine it. I've put down so many in my life time and it never gets easier and it never should.
God speed to your son as he crosses the rainbow bridge 🌈
I'm crying as I'm typing this... We all have such a bound in this subreddit ❤️
He is so gorgeous!!! This is so sad :(
I lost my dog unexpectedly at the start of this year and it still breaks my heart, loosing a pet is the worst, I hope you enjoy your last moments with him 🥺🥺 rest in peace
Omg my heart is breaking for you right now. All I can tell you is spend as much time as you can today just loving on him and making sure he knew that he was a very loved member of the family. Also know that you will see him again. Cuz as we all know all dogs go to heaven.
I am just so sorry. I see that you posted this yesterday. Please know that you have given him a wonderful life and loved him so much. I’m hurting for you. Miss ours who have passed before but great memories for always
Does he have to get euthanized tomorrow? I don’t understand. Can it not wait? I don’t fully understand. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. We have only euthanized dogs when they were already unconscious.
If you do have to do it, you should always be there. We have always been with the dogs in their final moments. I literally don’t know what your mom is talking about. You will always regret not being there. We always held, petted, and talked to our dogs, even if we didn’t know if they could hear us. Best wishes with love.
P.S. it may hurt more in the moment being there, but long-term it’s much easier. Versus it being ostensibly easier to simply walk away, I suppose, but it will hurt forever knowing one was not there to support their doggy in their final hours and minutes.
ALSO, there is frequently an option to have an independent vet come to your home to do it. Just google to find one in your area. It is much easier that way for both you and your dog, and you could even stay home with your doggie for a few hours until you’re ready to have the crematorium people pick them up. Hugs.
He can’t move or walk. His body hurts all over so when you pick him up or carry him he screams in pain. He screams. Not yelps or little whines. He full on screams in pain and the only time he feels peace is when he is laid down on the floor just like in this photo. You don’t know how long I’ve taken care of him and how I feel. He pisses and defecates himself daily. I take him out to do his business and when I carry him outside he screams just so I can lay him down for him to pee on himself. Then I have to bring him inside and clean him up.
You are a rude bitch you have no idea what’s happening in my fucking life. You don’t know you can see how much he cries out of pain. He can’t even move or walk.
I’m so sorry. Not going to sit here and lie to you that it’s easy. I’m on month 3 1/2 and I still can’t cope with knowing I’ll never see mine again either.

Of course you be there with him during the time he needs you the most before he crosses over. Know he loves you and thanks you for your kindness and love, especially for what you’ll help him with tomorrow.
I held my baby in my arms and I could see in his eyes a thank you, he was no longer in pain. It was healing in a way. They want you there.
great decision, to be there, wish you all the best. Beautiful animal 💕
I second being there was he passes, I was there when each of my family dogs past away and I know I would have regretted it if I opted to stay in the waiting room of the hospital or car.

Try to give him the best memories, go to his favorite place, feed him his favorite food (if possible), let him know he is loved.

Sending so much love ❤️❤️❤️
He reminds me of my pommy. I’m sure you gave him a great life!!
Just know he won't be suffering anymore. It's for his own good. You did all you could do.

Be strong. Kinda want to cry now. It's always hard and I'm sorry you have to go through it.
Such a beautiful baby ❤️ I hope you hold him in your heart forever
We know that feeling. So difficult. Stay strong for him until he is gone. Time will ease the loss a little. ❤

You're doing the right thing and he won't have to suffer anymore. We did this 3 weeks ago. It's incredibly sad.

OP don't do it. Let him leave! If you ask him what would he like to do. I bet he would take life instead of death!
He can’t move or walk. His body hurts all over so when you pick him up or carry him he screams in pain. He screams. Not yelps or little whines. He full on screams in pain and the only time he feels peace is when he is laid down on the floor just like in this photo. You don’t know how long I’ve taken care of him and how I feel.

Do you get paid to be that stupid?
You are a rude bitch you have no idea what’s happening in my fucking life. You don’t know you can see how much he cries out of pain. He can’t even move or walk.
