My dog was put down a couple days ago. 15 years and all she wanted was to be with her family. :(

Seeing dogs age makes me really sad.
gitarookefka
You were an ageless immortal to them, a being who loved them from their birth to their death. You're sad but they were not. They were loved.
DoublevBomb
Knowing what's wrong with the genomes of many breeds makes me sad. They never had to have those problems, people did it to them for fun.
peridotstar
For some reason, it usually seems to relate to the size of the dog; I'm not sure why, but there are always exceptions.
AcidOPhilus
Yes, this. The larger the dog, the sooner it dies of heart failure or bone cancer, since its base heart rate is already very low, 1/2
AcidOPhilus
and its bones have to do a LOT of regenerating. 50% of Irish Wolfhounds die before the Age of 6, I think, of myopathy and bone cancer. 2/2
peridotstar
Goodness I hadn't heard it was so pronounced with them--I believe for St. Bernards its about 9-10 years approx though too. Wonderful dogs
SjorsM
Maddie and Ellie don't seem to mind. They only got happier over time. :-)
Smileycyrusss
I know right. At the same time it makes me happy tho, because they look the same, cheerful and loving. Such good doggos *cries*

I have a 17 year old dog, she is about 3 years past the average life expectancy for her size and I am worried every single day that I (1)

DoublevBomb
I know that one last time thing is really important to people, but you being good to her over her entire life is the biggest thing.
cutepiku
You'll know when it's time and it will suck. Love her every day and cherish it until then.

My dog is pushing 15 and practically deaf. Every time I come up on him sleeping I think "please don't be dead"
crsdoom
The same with my 9 y cat.. and he hides sometimes when sleeping and I have panic attacks that he went out.. no. just sleeping in the drawer
Tinebra
Same I tough for my dog Black 16yo, he always seemed dead when sleeping. On August 29 we found him paralyzed and the same day was put asleep
Tinebra
He couldn't even move his head and had seizures, he would have never recovered from that. I miss him so much. Hug your doggo for me pls
reverendbonobo
My dog was old when I got him. My next will probably be an old rescue too. Won't live as long, but I can fit more dogs in my life that way.

I lost my 13 year old dog last year, haven't got any photos of when he was young. Same with my 12 year old

MrTryHard1577
Did you just assume their gender?!?
DiabolicPenguin
all dogs are good boys unless proven otherwise, and the only other alternative is that they're good girls
DoublevBomb
They were not offended, they're dogs. Gender expression doesn't mean as much to them.
HappyGobo
They're good dogs Brent.

Brent did learn that lesson in time:

No problem. It seems like very few people are aware of his turnabout, it's not the super memetic part of the story, still good though.

Briscoe turned into a miniature Chewbacca.
galspanic
Brussels Griffons look like puppies for 12-16 years, get gnarled and die. And yeah, half are named Chewie.
SwitchPup
Can confirm, parents have a Brussels Griffon named Chewbacca; Chewie for short.

hailtothemonkey
I'm for it. They don't last nearly long enough.
Pozy
We'd have too many dogs. Significantly more wouldn't get homes. Most would starve and there would be more feral disease and sickness spread.
SpaceCub500
That would only make the heartbreak worse. Could you imagine losing your dog after 50 years?
everythingisnominal
i don't think it would be a good idea, imagine your dog outlives you, how can you make sure that he will be well treated after ?
Fredfinks
Big problem with people keeping cockatoos & birds that live 80+ years. Huge stress for bird when owner dies & prob rehoming. one of the >
Fredfinks
< reasons we shouldnt have them as pets. dogs are prob more resilient to rehoming.
milkymilkymilk
Woah woah cockatoos live that long?

It's not just morbid. It also overgeneralizes an entire continent where some countries are more prosperous than others.

Comedy does that a bit. Hylerbole is often a technique and even when not it's useful to make jome's quicker and smoother

msmarymac
I have a pup who is 14 now. I've had him since he was 8 wks.He can't hold his bladder anymore and his hips are bad.This post made me so sad.
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
Im sure he knows how much you love him, its never easy.
DoublevBomb
Not being a pet owner, I find it more sad knowing that some people abandon them. It's good to know people take care of them into old age.
Randersuarus
My GSD is the same way. He acts like a puppy still, he won't ever be ready. But, he's my good boy.
msmarymac
My pup acts like an old man and can't be bothered by anything.My kitten tries to play with him but he wants nothing to do with the cat
Apelehamamama
Ask your vet for a joint supplement called Phyclox, worth the money.
laNikiNt
Our girl zoey (scotty) also couldn't hold her bladder. Took her to the vet, they took x-rays. There were stones in her bladder. It's from/1
laNikiNt
Human food. Dogs (purebred) should not eat human food. They removed the stones now she's back to normal, only pees 5ish times a day
princessatigresa
I'm sorry. Mine is 2 and a half, I'm so attached it isn't even funny. I have bad depression so I always think about that he's gonna get old

psyduckdontgiveafuck
The only dog I've had it's whole life was put down 2 years and 7 days ago. Jan 23 2015. My 21st birthday. It's not about what you lose 1/2
psyduckdontgiveafuck
Well spent... And I would do it all again.
psyduckdontgiveafuck
A smile smile at the memory of the love I gave him and I know he returned. It was a short time in the scheme of things, but it was time 3/4
psyduckdontgiveafuck
It's about what between you is shared while they are here. And I think about that, each birthday since has a somber note, followed by 2/3

My dogs ten now and I really don't want her to die
jdlsharkman
My dog's 14 1/2 and I met a dog the other day that was 19. Good luck to her!
Ursaqueen
My boy is 16, blind, deaf and can hardly stand on his own. This year will be his last. It kills me slowly

Cyranojoe
I'm 39, my first dog is 9, and there's literally nothing I wouldn't do to keep her going. Nothing.

Mine will be 12 in June. I hope I get another 4 years...
Thelolzknight
My dog is 17 and he's only just started losing bladder control (not fully, just when excited). Just feed them right and love em!
kazoobiekazobo
my dog is 17 and i really want her to die, instead of putting it to sleep
Eliyitas
They won't. :)
DerpyDerp272
Dogs don't die silly, they go on a playdate with other dogs until you come to pick them up.
yuyufan43
I just plan on dying before my dog
ILOVECORGIIIES
Same and same.
RumpBuffalo
My dog is 11 and I'm really scared for when she dies. We've really bonded these past few years and it's going to hit me hard.Luckily healthy
Rediculocity
I don't know why but I got more upset about my dog dying than my grandad passing away...
Lacrymology
Same here. To be fair, the affection you can openly share with a dog is intense. Also, you see your dog every single day.
MichaelBay
My buddy died at 14 in the hands of cold blooded 2016... You are just never prepared for that man...
DoctorGoldfish
=( My condolences, michaelbay. That's never easy, you're right..
MichaelBay
Sad thing is that last December my doggie died, along with my 2 cats. There's only one lonely dog now :(
DoctorGoldfish
=( oh no. It's a good thing they have you for company. I don't know what to say, MB. I bet they had great lives with you.
IrishPub
My dog made it to 15 before she passed away. I miss her.

Don't ever stop (for too long) having one. It is really hard to get back to choosing just one.
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
Lost the family dog to cancer, it was insanely sudden. Teacup Yorkie, went from 5lbs to 2.6 in days. She was 16, crotchety and the best. 1/?
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
My dog now was a pup when that happened, shes now 4 & everytime i think about my old dog i love on her or play with her just a little longer
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
In memory of my cranky, bitey, smelly, absolutely amazing bark-machine in the afterlife. 3/3

Your dog sounds like my cat. Such an angry girl but I love and miss her. It's only been a year.
hkim1326
Dude I'm worried about mine too. What are we supposed to do?
carlospeletoNC
Focus on remembering that the gift you got was giving them a life like no other, and that that can only help the next one to come.
ugotnojams
I am right there with ya. Mine is at the end of the average life span of her breed and I can see the whitening of her muzzle
bachpad
All dogs go to heaven. Seriously though, you're gonna bawl your eyes out. I did with the cats I grew up with. Still get teary years later.
killjoy81
I lost my boxer when he was 10. It was heartbreaking, but he was old and hurt alot.

This is the only panic I have. I used to work for a vet as my first job, and the first sign of hip dysplasia is showing. I love him so much
KnucleheadFlow
I feel ya man. Mine's 11 and only this year her arthritis is showing. Every year is getting shorter. I can't believe all this time's passed.
minigreyhound
I lost mine at 11. Heart disease is a bitch.
KnucleheadFlow
Damn.
heart496
Same with mine. We started treating the heart disease but meds weren't working. Found out she had a tumor in her chest making it worse.
minigreyhound
That sucks. Sorry about your pup. The meds were helping mine but he had to keep taking more and more, and then at the park he had a stroke
tatercake
My dog is almost 19 and yet still stubbornly vital and active. Pretty sure he's actually one of the undead at this point
FrancisLouJean
Mines almost 18 :(
mostlykitties
From what I understand that could have a lot to do with what you feed them.
verovex
What kind of dog do you have?
tatercake
Got him as a few-weeks-old rescue pup. Thought he was a JRT. Then he grew to the size of a small deer so obviously crossed with something =p
