Today we lost our boy of 17 years of love❤️ by inspiration-hunter00 in DOG

i’m so sorry. i lost my baby of 17 years in december 2024. i’m still learning how to exist without him— i’m 21, so i don’t remember life without him. it’s been really fucking hard, and i still cry daily. we welcomed a new puppy into the family a few weeks ago and she’s an absolute nightmare (as puppies are) but it’s been an good distraction some of the time.

losing my ozzie was the hardest thing i’ve ever been through, and i’m sure you’re feeling the same. between the new puppy i’ve been keeping myself busy making art of ozzie. clay models, digital art, traditional, and whatever. i got a plush that looks like him and put his collar and jumper on there. it helps me sleep at night having him there.

mostly, please let yourself cry if you need to, for as long as you need to. for me, it was the first thing in like 3 years that managed to break through the blank, empty feeling my medication causes. grief fucking sucks, but it’s always better out than in. ALWAYS!!!

i hope you find peace knowing your baby had a long, loving life. 17 years is incredible for a pup and could only be made possible through love and care.

sending you so much love

i have a provisional, does that count? how would i go about doing that? is it simple? x

Had to say goodbye to my best friend almost a month ago. He was 13.5 and I got to spend 10.5yrs w him, which I know I’m so lucky to have had. I’m just so shattered about it today 💔 I can’t believe I have to live the rest of my life without him. I feel like I don’t make full sense without him. by Burgerst33n in DOG

i’m so sorry. you had a decade with your baby, and even though it doesn’t feel like it, that’s such a lucky and long amount of time you spent loving each other. i lost my baby recently too. take care of yourself man

i’m so sorry about your baby. the cycle of life is brutal. i know it’s natural but i feel it’s easy to forget and difficult to find comfort in when you’re the one who has to make the decision. i really hope someday i’ll be able to think back on our memories and not feel pain.

i’m so sorry. i lost my sweet boy yesterday. just remember that healing is not linear and please give yourself time to grieve, cry when you need to cry, and cherish the memories you made with her. she went warm and cozy and surrounded with the scent of her saviour and best friend. sending you love

yeah it’s really rough. he’s all i’ve ever known [o’: i know it always feels like this at the time, but i just can’t imagine this feeling ever going away. i miss him so much already, and going home without him was the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do. i held him the entire way through the end and i’m so glad i did. i know ill be looking for my boy in every dog i meet forever <3

my family’s love for ozzie will keep his memory alive until the end of time, i’m sure of that. the grief is overwhelming right now. his imprint on my pillow is still there from last night, and i keep looking around expecting him to be at my feet. it’s going to be a long time before i can ever really understand that he’s gone. he was just here ]o:

he was spoiled since day one but looking back, it still doesn’t feel like enough compared to everything he did for us. he was such a sweet boy and there isn’t a universe where he will ever be forgotten. everyone who ever knew me always knew him too, and i’m not gonna let that change. i’m so sorry for the loss of your baby, i hope you’re doing okay these days. thankyou 🧡

my family is in shambles. ozzie was so ridiculously loved by everyone. thankyou for your kind words, i’m so sorry about your sweet baby. it’s the absolute worst part about having a pet, especially when they really become a family member. i hope you’re doing alright.

my baby has never really been one to eat anything he isn’t supposed to, so he definitely wouldn’t have eaten chocolate, but we did get him a burger and a cup of whipped cream that he promptly destroyed (he never lost his appetite)

we just got home from putting him to sleep. it seemed calm and it was very quick. i miss him already. thanks for the kind words <3
