Darn comic, now I am bawling my face off at work!!

Im bawling again. All of Jenny's comics make me do that

Why did I read this? These get me every time. Especially since I had to put my girl down last week. She was only 5. Our vet came to our house, so she was comfortable in familiar surroundings. I'm surprised I can type this with watery eyes.

I think everyone who had to go this way is crying now... Including me 😭

The ONLY thing you do just for your pup is to "give them release." This is not about you, it is about them and they will tell you when it is time and when they do PLEASE take them or have the vet come to the house, hold them, kiss them and then TELL THEM IT IS OK FOR THEM TO GO. Then, if you have other pups, take the one who is gone, home so that the others can see that their brother/sister has gone. Otherwise they will look and look for them, they can mourn but they will not be confused and afraid. Remember this is the ONLY thing you do JUST for them. And it is so hard. I have 20 urns on my mantle, and they can "see" outside, and I can see them and my heart hurts so bad, but I know that they are free, playing, healthy and they are ALL together.

No, I can't finish it. My dog and I experienced this. Is horrible because he was sick and sometimes I feel guilty because I didnt do anything to save his life.

that got me. I am in tears, when I was little I did not want to see my favorite doggo buried. I regret that to this day.

I had to have one of my sweet little lovebirds put to sleep a few years ago. Something had made her very sick and so the vet asked if I wanted to keep treating her and most likely have her in constant pain and stress, or put her to sleep so that she wouldn't suffer any longer and only get worse. So I chose to have her put to sleep..but it was the hardest decision I had to make, and just looking at her as I held her and saw that look in her eyes it took me a good ten minutes or more to decide. I asked the vet if I could be there but she recommended that it might be too hard for me, and so I didn't. I regret not going with my poor baby bird and wish so many times that I did. I have another birdy now but I still miss my girl.At least they offered to cremate her for me which I really appreciated.

It mystifies me how people do not want to be with thier dogs till the very last breath. In my country a lot of vets come to your home to euthanize your dog. That is what I will do when it is time. I just hope,, I have the courage to let her go before she starts to suffer really badly and not wait until she has lost all will to live.

We've had to do this twice in the last 3 years, and it is so hard... we get someone to come to our home so we didn't have to stress our kitties out more than their illnesses were already doing. And all I can say is "grief is the price we pay for love." Our pets are here for us every day, and we are the center of their lives. For them, I will go through anything.

I can’t even look at these photos. My puppy - a senior lab mix rescue - needed to be “put down” - keeping him alive would extend his life for a few hours, would cause him insurmountable pain and would cost $1,600. The family surrounded him. We brought his blanket. We were sobbing. When the drugs went in, something happened. His eye went to mine, “Mommy, no!” He knew. He knew, he knew. We were all the floor, trying to soothe him. He had us.

I'm actually sobbing. I've held so many fur babies as we said goodbye. It's so very painful for all. Thanks for the comic. Sometimes we need a good cry and to remember how much we loved those who have gone.

This is touching and depressing at the same time... *hugs doggo and boy*

😭😭 So sad, I can relate to this, had to do it twice, first time was a rescued gsd, gave her 5 yrs of love and fun broke my heart when I had to say goodbye swore I'd never get another,, but saw this pupper,, an oddball he was,, runt of the litter,, he became my best mate,, sadly he went as well,,, again I died a little inside say bye to my buddy,, 😢,, again I wasn't gonna put myself through the pain,, so I thought I've now got a crazy gsd/collie cross,, he was being let go cos the ppl had just had a baby and he was only 10 months old at the time,, had him nearly 3 yrs and he drives me crazy but I love him to bits,, I will never forget my first 2,,they will always live on in my heart,, make the most of the time you have with your puppers ppl,, they give you so much love 😍

Reading that while hugging my late dog’s teddy 😢

Several years ago, I had to have my winter white hamster (Wynter) put down as she had tumors and was definitely suffering. Because she was a hamster, I was not allowed back to where they needed to take her to be put down. She clung to my chest as I cried. When I tried to gently pull her from my chest, she fought even harder to hold on. I once again held her close as I told her that I loved her and that it would be ok and that I would see her again some day. At that moment, she let go. I still miss her so much.

Thank you for posting this. It came up on my Facebook newsfeed yesterday. We have been battling pancreatitis with my 16-year-old orange tabby Richard for over four years now. Most days his quality of life has been excellent. But when it flared up, he would not do well. Twice in the past four years, I said goodbye to him only to see him recover. This time was different. The medications were taking their tolls and causing other issues. That, along with age. I was struggling with the "when" yesterday morning when I saw this article. He took a turn for the worse yesterday afternoon and I knew it was time. He gave me the signals and made it clear that it was time for him to go. We had made a pact four years ago that we loved each other so much, we wouldn't allow suffering if there were no chance of a good recovery. The time was here. We took him last night to our amazing vet (after hours) and he died in my arms, very peacefully, while I was softly singing his favorite song to him.

This one hit a little too close to home. I have lost three dogs. The first was alone in the kennel, he died unexpectedly and the fact he was alone is what hurts me the most. I was with the other two, one was 15 and lived the good life. My vet closed the office for us, and everyone in there was crying but she was old and sick and it was time The other, I adopted from the shelter at about 6 years old. She had been horribly abused, she never learned how to dog. She did learn she was safe, and she knew she was loved, but she didn't know how to dog. She was taken far too soon, but I gave her four years of the good life before Lymphoma took her from me. There was no way I was going to let either of them go alone. They were and are still my babies.

damn, it got me

Note to self: do not read these at work. You captured the love perfectly, thank you.

Omg who's cutting the damn onions?? 😭 Cried so hard..reminded me of when my hubby and I had to put our baby Susie Sunflower to sleep

We have family, friends...your dog only has you. His entire life revolves around your every move. Be there, always. Tears

Because of Covid, the vet was only going to let one of us go in for my dog's final moments. I told them "the heck with that!" So we all sat out in the grass behind the veterinary office and to it there. Was over 2 months ago and it still hurts.

We had to put down our GSD about two years ago. We still have her favorite toy, a squeaky rubber bone, just laying around the house. Every now and then, somebody squeaks it in her honor. Her collar also still hangs on the banister.
