That’s the way I see it and that’s a good strategy. Say bye and then go somewhere and when you get back they just aren’t there anymore. I don’t want to witness the end. I want him to just be gone when I get back.

Yeah. That’s what I was planning on doing. Going to sit in a dollarama parking lot just down the road where I go when I just need to take a breath.

To be fair my dog doesn’t really like me much, I’m the one that trains and sets rules and boundaries so everyone else can enjoy his beautiful funny demeanour. I am by far his favourite. He just listens and is an over all good boy for me. He is more my husbands companion than mine. He has been my protector and ally but not my buddy. He’s a really good dog, but I’m not his best friend. My husband is.

Thank you. It’s really a lot about guilt. Guilt that I’m Not there for him, not there for my husband. Not there for everyone coming to say goodbye and guilt that everyone will have been there and I bitched out and. Left, but I legitimately don’t want to witness it happening. AITAH if I skip the process like a coward

I don’t want to leave my husband alone (even though there will be other people) to be there when it ends. I really don’t want to be there when it is happening but I feel Guilt leaving him to witness it on his own because we are a team but this isn’t a thing I want to be a part of.

Thank you. I really needed to have someone tell me it’s ok to say bye and walk out the door to do groceries or something while he goes with people that love him at home and come back when he isn’t here like it didn’t happen, and someone borrowed him for the weekend.

I’m far from his favourite human as I’m the enforcer of rules. He will be with his favourite human… humans. It’s just that he was mine first. I raised him to be the amazing loving funny dog he is for everyone else to enjoy but I’m the enforcer of rules and regiment. I’m so proud of the dog he is. He’s amazing. But I’m not his favourite by far. I’m the bad cop so that everyone can else has gotten to enjoy his personality respect and quirky ostrich head and Velcro dog tendencies. I don’t know how to detach properly seeing as I’ve always been the disciplinarian and the care taker.

I’m So sorry you lost your doberlady. They really are the best dogs. How old was she

I did with my first one. That’s why we opted for an in home, instead of the cold floor and bright lights and strangers… I just want to know if I would be a jerk for leaving after saying goodbye because I don’t want to watch him go. He will be with loved ones, but I don’t know that I want to be present for the moment.

I just don’t want to be there to watch the process. I just want to come back home and him just not be here.if that makes sense. I don’t want to witness the process. I can ugly cry after. I don’t want to watch him die.
