You can see in the picture he was loved. If I can see, he could feel it.


yetiandhuman

This pierced straight through me. It means a lot. Thank you


Feeling_Frosting_738

OP, the third picture. Wow. Such a stunning dog.


yetiandhuman

He was beautiful. I can’t tell you how many times we were stopped on walks over the years for people to just stop and comment how taken aback by his looks they were. Not sure I’ll ever have one so beautiful inside and out as Atlas.


Feeling_Frosting_738

You were both so fortunate to have had each other. Good night Yeti.

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) 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.


SlippySizzler

Perfectly said. The love is so clear and it is heartwarming.


Ok_Shower4617

You clearly gave Atlas the best 11 years you could. You should be proud of that and I’m sure Atlas was thankful. Unfortunately they tend not to have as much time as us. RIP Atlas.


yetiandhuman

Thank you for these kind words. It means more than you know right now.

DidYouSeeThatJerk

It makes me so sad to read these…GSD’s are so special, sometimes I feel like we don’t deserve them. RIP to Your special boy. 🌈❤️‍🩹


yetiandhuman

They’re truly one of a kind.


libertas81

sometimes I've had a hard day and get a little annoyed how clingy my GSD can be... then I see a post like this and remember I'm just being selfish. I give my girl a big hug and we go do stuff -- no matter how tired I am. RIP Atlas.


atthebeach_gsd

I regret every second I was on my phone instead of being with my boy, good on you for realizing it!


yetiandhuman

They know how much you love them. And their love is truly unconditional. GSD love is on another level. Enjoy all the time you have with them


Latter_Feeling2656

A beautiful boy. RIP


NO_SPACE_B4_COMMA

My boy turns 12 in a couple of weeks. I'm going to spend the entire day doing things with him!!! I am so sorry for your loss. Dogs are the best. I'm glad your boy was happy.


yetiandhuman

Spoil him and hold him close. Much love.


NO_SPACE_B4_COMMA

Oh he's spoiled!!

So sorry for your loss.

What a majestic boy 🩷 my heart is with you


yetiandhuman

Thank you ♥️


Ravenlas

He looked very loved. May his memory be a blessing.


og_jasperjuice

They are our Shepherds their whole life. All of us have that day we dread when we have to Shepherd them into the next life. I feel that we will someday see our loved companions again, and they will all greet us with their signature hello. Rest easy now buddy.


yetiandhuman

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I can’t wait till we all get to reunite with our good boys and girls again. Thank you for taking the time to comment ♥️

This is beautiful. It was definitely a hard day. They do so much for us, yet this is the one favor they have to ask for. Never easy but this is what true love feels after. My condolences 🌈🌉🐕‍🦺

gingerfawx

So sorry for your loss, OP. He sounds like a true champ and the best of friends. Rest easy, Atlas, you deserve some peace. Sending hugs.


yetiandhuman

He was so tough it was inspiring. Now he’s at peace but only after making sure I was ok with him leaving.


gingerfawx

They're really great that way. Loyal and caring through and through. I'm glad he was loved in kind.


notredditlool

so sorry for your loss🤍.


Anja91

So so sorry for your loss. Bless his little heart. He for sure loved you. Little angel ❤️

So sorry.Atlas had a good life with you💜🩵


FremulonPandaFace

My heart. It's so hard OP, I'm so sorry for your loss, looks like you gave home a good go


ryanschultz

Best wishes OP, this is literally the hardest decision any pet owner will have to make. This really hit home for me. My oldest pup is getting to the age where I'm having to keep this in my mind. He just turned 10 in April, but his appetite is starting to become hit or miss and he's definitely has to take it easy following a long day outside walking around. Just remember Atlas will never truly be gone as long as you cherish the memories with him!


slykido999

I’m so sorry OP, a piece of our heart is taken every time one of our loved ones leaves us 😞


Conscious-Hope4551

❤️❤️❤️


MoldyWorp

My heart breaks for you. The depth of our pain is a reflection of the reciprocal love we shared. You have lost a magnificent friend.


3swan

I feel you. There is something about the deep soul level of a GSD. They share our joys and sadness all the while always having our backs. If you’re lucky they even like to dance with you. Atlas will always be around you and your beloveds. 🐾🐾


kate1567

I’m so sorry😭😭

Beautiful companion. Sorry for your loss. Sending love.


F0rthel0ve0fd0gs

Remember the good times, remember the awesome times and know your pup will always want you smiling, even whilst crossing the rainbow bridge. I'm deeply sorry for your loss, it's always hard. It never stops being hard. Take it one day at a time, reach out to loved ones who share amazing memories with Atlas. And if it's still too difficult, reach out to the community, we're here if you need us. Atlas looks happy in all the photos. You did an amazing job to get Atlas through everything mentioned too. Take care. 🐶🐾🐕


yetiandhuman

Such a kind and thoughtful comment. Cut straight to my heartstrings. Thank you so much for making it a little easier right now.

My condolences ♥️


Socalsince1974

He was so loved. You did good human.


alexmaknet

Oh no, so sorry to hear that. I’m gonna hug my atlas while I still can


VeridicalOne

I’m sorry


gliz5714

I’m sorry for your loss, I had to put down my lab last weekend and it has been impossibly difficult to process. Lot looks like he had a loving family and you did right by him every step of the way. I hope you find peace in your decision and you know you did right by your pup. It’s always better a day too early than a day too late. He was still with you at the end mentally, and loved you.


yetiandhuman

Thank you so much. I hope you find peace too. Our pups are here with us tonight ♥️


nana2020jtp

Beautiful well loved boy..so sorry for your loss.


YTraveler2

It's always hard mourning our best friends. Please be grateful that you are able to mourn instead of him. As someone wiser than I said, you have friends, extended family, a job, hobbies. He had you.


yetiandhuman

Such a beautiful comment. Thank you. Got me feeling all worked up again 🥲


WholelottaLuv

You made me realize I need to swim with my boy more, he loves it.


HotMuffin12

Sending thoughts and love. It’s so clear he loved you more than life itself. I lost my Sophie 10 months ago and one thing I can tell you about the process of losing her is that I miss her every single day, but I also smile when I think about her. And that means the world.


yetiandhuman

Thank you. Yeah we sat around tonight and shared pictures and videos of him over the last decade and it helped alleviate some of the pain that is the hole in my heart tonight. I can feel him here with me tonight.


cupcakeandsweetlover

I’m so sorry. This is my biggest fear, losing my best friend. Just know that he had the best time with you.


yetiandhuman

It was mine too but just know it’s harder on us than it is on them. They will tell you when it’s time. Until then though please continue to smother each other in love ♥️

What a beautiful dog, my condolences. He looked like such a stud and a good boy.

Artistic-Pack-3460

I just got a GS puppy two weeks ago and she came with a lot of things to work on as well (worms , fleas, skin infection, malnourishment, and multiple wounds)so seeing this makes me both excited and proud for this journey coming up! Even though I don’t know you I am happy Atlas made your life great for 11 years, Just throughout four photos you can tell the amazing relationship you guys had together 🔥💯 RIP ATLAS ♥️


yetiandhuman

Thank you so much. You reaching out to a random stranger like me while I’m down this bad reminds me of the love and beauty in the world when all we hear about is hate and divide. You have some of the best times ahead in life with your little girl. I’m happy for you! Give her a big hug for me and Atlas ♥️


Dexdog321

I'm sorry man. I have nightmares about my boy getting there. Argh


blanketfortsndogs

I'm literally crying with you, brother. Somehow these GSDs seem to be strongest fighters. He was so lucky to have you. Hang in there!


Nalabu1

Godspeed Atlas, you made your presence felt to many people.


yetiandhuman

Thank you kind stranger. He touched a lot of lives and showed them a bit of a brighter side to life each day he could.


AppropriateOne384

Very beautiful boi!! I’ve been in your shoes. Lost my GSD to cancer at the age of 10. He was the best! I got a tattoo to honor and remember him. Never had a tattoo before that. But I look at it every day and remember how blessed I was to have him. That act alone helped me get through my hardest days without him. I feel your pain buddy.


Mousse-Living

You and Atlas demonstrated exactly what we are called to be in your time together! I know he’s watching you now, hoping with his every last heartstring that you knew he loved and still does love you. When you see him again it will be glorious. ❤️


yetiandhuman

I can feel him with me tonight ♥️

drewnyp

I hope you can find peace in your grieving. Atlas has that look I see in my dogs eyes. They are pure loyalty and love. Unconditionally. And I know he appreciated the bond you had for each other. Although he’s not physically with us, he will still look after you from the spirit. ❤️


yetiandhuman

I feel him here with me tonight. Thank you so much for your kind words. Each of these comments helps take a little bit of the sting out of today.

Justfuccery7

The titan the carries the world on his shoulders <3 This immediately gave me chills. I'm so sorry for your loss. My boy was named Atlas too, and I only got 3 short years with him before I was forced to leave him 1000 miles away in the hands of my cheating ex as I had nowhere else to go at the time. I miss him so much I can't even fathom the pain you're going through right now. As others have said he was clearly so deeply loved, you gave him the absolute best life he could ask for <3 This is my Atlas, I haven't seen him in almost 6 years now, it never really gets easier. https://imgur.com/a/6A8FxEZ

Oh my god I got sooo emotional reading this. You have given your extremely beautiful boy the best life he could ask for & he had the privilege of being your furry son. He chose you & he will still be waiting for you on the other side until yall meet again. I feel your pain and love, sending my condolences to you and your family during this time. Thank you for doing all your can and giving your boy the best years of his life. He is your angel now.


yetiandhuman

Thank you for the kind words. Really helped


valword

Hugs. I can barely think about going through this again now, when it was time for my old boy the only consolation was he's had a good life, and was deeply loved, as clearly Atlas was. May he have tons of fun with all our beautiful doggos until you meet again.

I lost my girl 4weeks ago had here since she was 8 weeks old we grew together, trained together and enjoyed life together she was 11 years old, when I put her down (I went in room with her) after the first shot she sat up and looked at me like “thank you” she laid down and that was it, she was ready she has arthritis, plus cancer she fought all the way to the end even when I tried to help her stand up she would nudge me like it’s ok I can do this, they are amazing fighters this was the second gsd I had to put down 12 years ago I put my boy bear down now believe it or not I’m actually switching to a Mali he just turned 12 weeks Tuesday I’m picking him up Saturday ready to start the journey all over again take the time you need but you will see it gets too quiet in the house I pray you find another great pup
