I am feeling particularly sad today as yesterday I had to put down my nineteen year old pup. What is your favorite memory with your dogs? (lemmy.ml)

Edit: Thank you all for your condolences and the beautiful snippets from your own furry friends. It is so special to be loved by an animal and love them back.

After nineteen years together, we had many beautiful memories and adventures together, but one of my favorite was when we visited the beach. She absolutely loved it and would run up and down chasing seagulls and barking at coming waves as happy as can be.

I will miss you forever, Tandi♥️

I am so sorry. I am in the final days of my dog's life as well, trying desperately to convince my ex to euthanize him with love and dignity rather than getting to an emergency decision, and it's awful. He's SO ready to go and yet it's killing me.

Until the dementia and tracheal stenosis set in he was hilarious. People criticize you online for having pugs, but he was a stray, and he made me laugh all the time. He literally dug potatoes we were growing out of the pot and ate them raw, shit himself inside out for days and was delighted that he had figured out where we were hiding the secret foods. I would take him to the dog park and he'd hang out the window and scream in joy the whole way there and back.

Here's a video of him singing me the song of his people for you, OP, I'm so sorry.

Vocal little bugger hehehe. Oh I know, believe me. It was so hard to take that decision, heartbreaking but so full of compassion so she would not suffer anymore.
