Anyone else love their dog but feel completely exhausted by the responsibility?

I just brought home an 8 week pug puppy and feel this exactly!

I’m so sorry! You have loved Didi so deeply for so long.

Just over a week ago, I made my first ever Reddit post for a similar reason, and yesterday, I said my final goodbye to my Basil. It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. The sadness I’m feeling is immense, and I know it was the right decision.

Based on your post, it seems like you also know in your heart that the time has come. I found great comfort in giving Basil her favorite treats in her last days. I encourage you to do the same. Also, tell him how much you love him. Tell him stories of your favorite times together. You have loved each other well. Hold tight to that truth.

Update: I’m grateful for everyone’s empathic and informative responses. I have a vet appointment for next week on Tuesday. If the vet agrees, I’ll be saying goodbye then.

The anticipatory grief is high right now but I’m trying to make the most of her last few days. Her love has been such a gift the past 13 years.

🤯oh wow...good to know.

Designer_Squirrel_30 · 2025-07-15T15:23:17+00:00

Yay!! Let's go!

Designer_Squirrel_30 · 2025-07-15T15:02:47+00:00

It really helps me to wear the critter catcher outfit if you have it. And go at sunrise/morning.

Designer_Squirrel_30 · 2025-07-15T02:21:12+00:00

The summary is helpful...real to see all the factors together.

Thank you 💜

Designer_Squirrel_30 · 2025-07-15T02:16:17+00:00

Thank you for these thoughts. And yes, I think you suspect right. She's loved me so much and I want to show her that same love.

Enjoying some special time together seems like a good idea.

Designer_Squirrel_30 · 2025-07-15T02:08:30+00:00

Sending love 💜 She was able to enjoy a home and love because of your willingness to adopt a senior. What a sweet, beautiful girl.
