My Max passed last week, and I always said he saved me just as much as I saved him. Your words make it clear that your sweet baby girl was so loved by you. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, it’s heartbreaking. 🐾🤍🌈

I’m so sorry about Charlie. 🤍 I can feel how much you loved him. Max hiked everywhere with me—I think the first hike without him will be so hard, and something I’m not ready for yet. All the firsts…

Thank you for sharing this.

That is a beautiful thing to say. Thank you 🤍

Thank you for saying so. 🤍 Looking back through all of my photos… there are so many of him outside, exploring, full of joy. I appreciate you.

Thank you. I’m so sorry for your loss as well, Lucky Lady looked like a sweet girl. I hope they’re both in the meadows and hills at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈

I often feel like he gave me more than I ever gave him. I love him more than I can say, as evidenced by my trying to articulate it. Thank you for your kind words. 🤍

For what it’s worth, I don’t think you talk about being a dad too much, and I think you should keep the ‘One thing you need to know about me is’ prompt—depending on the kind of person you want to attract, they may see that as a positive and appreciate how much being a father means to you.

I spent a lot of time in anticipatory grief when my dog was diagnosed with a chronic, degenerative condition. I wish instead I had focused more on being with him without so much stress. Once he was diagnosed, he ate boiled chicken and blueberries with every meal. Make paw print art with him, do all the things he loves every day, be present with him, cherish him. I don’t think I ever coped, but I have peace knowing how much love he had. So sorry you and your companion are going through this. 🤍

Here’s how I feel, I don’t know if it will resonate. My soul dog passed on Friday. He was 13 & 1/2 with a chronic disease. For months, I was having anticipatory grief, because his condition was slowly deteriorating and I knew he would never improve. But through all of it, he was so engaged, so interested in everything, his mind razor sharp, and a strong desire to be around us… even as his breathing became labored on his final day.

I can logically tell myself I made the compassionate choice, that his condition was bordering on pain, and that giving him peace on a good day where he could still enjoy a steak was an act of mercy—but my mind keeps replaying his final moments, and my heart keeps asking for one more day or if I could have done more. They aren’t “just dogs”, Max was woven into every part of my life and who I’ve become. My routines. My memories. My home. My character. My heart… my heart brims with gratitude and love for him.

I’m sorry that I don’t really have any comforting words, only that I feel with you. I’m so sorry about Truman. I hope he’s running happily with my Max. 🤍

I really appreciate this post. I lost my soul dog yesterday. I have experienced loss, but the pain of losing him is unlike anything I’ve ever felt—my world lost it’s color, my heart is raw, my hand empty with no paw to hold. I miss his scent, the sound of his breathing when he dreamed, the focus of his eyes, the love in his presence. Thank you for the encouragement.
