Just know that even though it hurts, it's the right thing to do...I know it's extraordinarily hard...But you have to tough it out. Just know you're doing what's best

I understand. Thank you for the support

I had my dog die on me in February. Thing is I've had him longer than any other dog. All others I had to give up rather than have them live long enough with me for natural death to take them. The one thing that made me cry was that he prolonged his suffering, since he could have let go at anytime. Turns out it was his final gift to me. He died just shortly after midnight on February 28. No more than perhaps half an hour after his 11th birthday. This is why he was prolonging it. To give me that final gift of sharing his last birthday.
Thing is, what most humans are unaware of, is that the body dies, but it is just a shell, the spirit inside is the real animal. So if you ask your dog to hang around, he will. He just won't be in physical form. My lab Duke is still around now, though his body is gone. I just have to picture him and I can sense him next to me as I write this.

Aw..
That made me tear up.
Thanks so much, And I'm sorry for your loss as well, though it happened a while ago.
I do believe T.J'll be with me after he's gone. I'll be wearing his collar with his tag on every day. (:

For me it is not a loss. I see his death as a release from the suffering. Human society needs to change its views on things. If TJ will still be around, you have not lost him, he has just shuffled off his mortal coil.

I see.
Thank you so much for helping me cope with this. I'll try to see his death as a release from suffering like you said.

I am glad to have helped. I see life and death as animals do.

He's gorgeous. ;w;

This is a bit random, but what kind of tail does he have? ;w; I see a lot with docked tails, I wondered if people keep them longer when they're pets. >w<

oh, uhmm a long tail that's fuzzy :3
