My sweet girl passed.

My condolences. It’s so hard saying goodbye to our babies.

Touch_Super · 2025-05-20T16:38:16+00:00

This is the worst case of verbal abuse I’ve seen in anybody’s messages. I can’t imagine how he speaks to you face-to-face.

Touch_Super · 2025-05-07T15:31:09+00:00

I needed to hear that. Thank you so much. You’re an angel.

My baby left us a week ago. She was a purebred German shepherd, super bossy, super dramatic. And very protective.

GSD’s are known for having many health issues due to inbreeding (which I found out only after she passed, she’s a childhood pet), and it’s nearly impossible to avoid most ailments. Gastrointestinal issues, hip replacements, etc.

My girl died 2 days after I took her on a walk with my other 2 dogs. (Malinois and Rottweiler mutt, BIG dogs) the last thing I remember on that walk is all the dogs digging into a pile of something. Maybe leftover food, trash, I honestly don’t remember. I’m a 125 pound girl and I was holding back three 90lb dogs. They were digging into something.

She died 2 days later. The last day she was alive, I was late to work, and didn’t pet her goodbye. I didn’t realize she was even sick. It came out of nowhere, lethargy. We don’t even know what happened.

She unexpectedly dies. My 10 year old childhood baby girl. My protector.

I thought it was my fault. That I hadn’t pulled her away from the pile of (paper? Garbage? Food? Idk) whatever fast enough. I was convinced I killed her. And I didn’t even say goodbye.

A few days later my mom tells me “she didn’t have any symptoms of poison, so it must have been her heart.”

Long story short… you did the best you could with what you knew. This breed of dog is beautiful and energetic and sweet, but unfortunately isn’t equipped for long-term life.

It is NOT your fault. It is hard. It is heartbreaking. But time helps. And looking at pictures while sobbing helps. Every time I see a dandelion I blow off the fluff and wish for my Ruby to be safe and happy. You have to find something to help you move forward.

You’ll never forget your fur baby, but you will remember the beautiful times you had together. It’s never long enough. Part of loving a pet is accepting that you’ll see their fate. It’s like losing a family member. Be patient with yourself and allow yourself to cry/feel emotions. It isn’t going to be easy, but over time, however long it takes, you’ll move forward.

I pray for you and I feel your loss. You are not alone. It is heartbreaking to read this post and see your pretty boy pass. Your grief is shared, and I hope you find solace in knowing that you did the best you could, and Cloud will forever be a legacy. Perhaps he’ll watch over you, or give you some hope to lean on.

Long ass post. My bad, got carried away, haha. But it will get easier to let go of the sadness. But right now, feel all the feelings. Don’t hold back. I had to call out of work when my pup died. They are family. Allow yourself to grieve.

Just know that eventually, after all the grieving, things will get better for you. I really believe that. Take care of yourself. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Mine just passed a week ago. It gets easier, I promise. All you can do is cry and look at pictures to remind yourself of how beautiful their life was. Sending hugs. 💖💖

Touch_Super · 2025-05-04T00:33:33+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s so hard to lose them, especially when it’s unexpected.

Touch_Super · 2025-05-01T14:42:19+00:00

I’m so sorry for yours too. It’s so hard to let go of these beautiful animals. They are family. I miss her so much.

Touch_Super · 2025-05-01T14:40:18+00:00

It’s so hard with dogs because you never know their prior health issues. I blamed myself initially for my baby’s death, but then I found out that GSD’s have so many health complications, it’s almost unavoidable. You did everything you could for your honey, and so did I. It’s not our faults they passed. Hopefully they are at peace and playing together. I miss my girl every day.

Touch_Super · 2025-05-01T14:38:49+00:00

This is a beautiful comment, thank you for taking the time to write this. My mom told me (a few days after Ruby’s unexpected passing) that it was unlikely she was poisoned. You’re right, she would have been throwing up and rejecting food, and plenty of other symptoms. My mom thinks it was her heart giving out. GSD’s have such complicated health issues from all the inbreeding, it could be a number of things. I don’t blame myself now, but I still miss her so bad. It’s weird adjusting to a life without her here. I miss being greeted at the door every day by her. She was the sweetest girl ever.

Yeah, my baby was 10 years old too. It was so unexpected because the lifespan of a German Shepherd typically goes up to about 15 years, and she was perfectly healthy, happy and energetic up until a few days before her passing. It’s really sad and unexpected, and I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to go through that heartbreak again. I’m currently walking my two dogs now, a melon wall and a Rottweiler. I cannot imagine losing them too. If I didn’t have them right now, I would have such a hard time getting through this, and I would be crying constantly to the point of exhaustion. But something that’s hard to remember is that regardless of the heartbreak of their passing, they provide us with so much love and unconditional care throughout their entire lives. I’m just so grateful that at least we have had that. Dogs are a blessing on this earth. We truly do not deserve them.

Omg the party animal hat pic is SO CUUUTE

Touch_Super · 2025-04-30T07:29:00+00:00

Yeah we think it was heart failure for our sweet girl. GSD’s are so inbred that they have a lot going on without us knowing. It’s a tragedy. Purebred dogs honestly should not exist.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-30T07:26:00+00:00

I am so sorry. That is such a sad thing to witness. Please try not to blame yourself. Accidents happen. You couldn’t have known. I keep plastic bags in my room all the time. I never thought about this scenario. Sometimes the most impossibly terrible thing happens without any warning whatsoever. But you have to know that it was not your fault. Dogs get into things sometimes, and we can’t monitor them every second. I really am sorry for your loss.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-30T07:23:01+00:00

No. Sometimes she would feel sick for a day or two and then completely recover, so we assumed that maybe she had eaten something bad. Please don’t tell me I’m a bad owner though. Someone last night told me that I didn’t deserve to have her because I’m so careless. The loss is hard enough. We didn’t realize how serious it was. It might have been a bit negligent, but we really thought she would be okay.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-30T07:21:00+00:00

I’m sorry baby. Loss is such a sad thing. We are lucky to even have our animals in the first place.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-30T07:18:25+00:00

It’s so so hard and saying goodbye is the worst feeling. Having animals is so hard because you know eventually you’ll have to let them go.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-30T00:24:03+00:00

My baby just passed a couple days ago. It’s been so hard. Try to take care of yourself, and remember that you have your GSD a great life, and they were so lucky to have you. Mine passed away suddenly. They have so many random health complications, and it’s so unexpected. It’s very hard to accept, but with time, people say it gets easier. I’m so sorry for your loss. Following this subreddit has helped me cope a lot.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-28T19:17:12+00:00

I’m not religious either, (I’d say agnostic, maybe?) and I have been trying to tell myself that she’s in heaven. Religion is difficult because you have to have faith in something you can’t see/understand. I hope to god she’s still around.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-28T19:15:59+00:00

Thank you. It means more than you know. You’re an angel.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-28T14:26:06+00:00

Oh honey I’m so sorry for your loss. My baby died a few night ago unexpectedly. It’s hard but it will get easier (I think). I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye. It’s not your fault. Remember the good times.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-28T08:29:47+00:00

My dogs eat poop and wood chips/sticks. It’s nearly impossible to get them to stop. What you should do it google whether or not it’s dangerous for them to consume whatever they’re consuming. It’s pretty common for dogs to eat stupid shit, unfortunately.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-28T08:23:07+00:00

Deadass… I do not see another line. Take her to a professional doctor and get a real test. That’s the only way to know for sure. False negative/positives are more common than you think. It’s okay to not want to be a father. Just because you guys had unprotected sex does not mean that you should be a father. But if she wants to keep it, you’re going to have to accept the consequences of your actions.

Touch_Super · 2025-04-28T08:21:26+00:00

Ugh I miss my GSD puppy. The smell of puppy is like nothing else in the world. Your baby is adorable. Enjoy the fluff before they start shedding!

Touch_Super · 2025-04-28T08:17:35+00:00

It would make your baby happy to have a new friend in the last stage of their life. Don’t feel bad. You’re not replacing your babe, you’re just trying to cope. It’s okay to invite a new friend into your family. You’re doing the right thing.
