I. so. needed. to. see. this. right. now.
My 15 year old geriatric pal Kingdom is on his last legs.
Grieving already.
Roger, I'm praying for you. May God bless and strengthen you. I love animals and consider them part of the family, so I know how you are feeling.
It is so hard … love and peace to you and Kingdom.
Roger, Very sorry to hear. It's very sad to lose a dog-pal. My heart is with you.
Oh, Roger. You are an example of why I am creating my own Pet Loss Support Group. You will be in my prayerful thoughts. Take care of yourself.
i know your pain Roger!!!!!!!!!!!!!! enjoy and savor every moment. you have the incredible gift from him to get the full picture of tansitional life passing to death. so you are prepared when you experience your own passing.
Loooove it. Cried happy tears. Xo
Thanks for this, my 15+ yo Golden left us last week. We were there with her, she was loved and she loved us.
Our blind, nearly 12 year old lab Arlo is such a lover. Tears now and love now too- while we have time.
This needs to be a poster. Thank you. I stayed with my Lucky-Girl until the very end. Held her as she passed on. Was the hardest thing I have ever done. This affirmed it was the right decision. She was my canine soul mate. Honestly, I think our dogs teach us a hell of a lot about humanity.
this posting made me cry!
Very touching, and the look of this dog is priceless.
If you think about it, many of these could apply to children as well…In fact, in many ways, animals have more rights to be treated "humanely" in our society than children – children who are just as dependent, if not more so, on their parents as pets are on their owners. Furthermore, (and without additional "metaphysical proof"), children do not have any choice in picking their parents, just as animals don't have any choice in picking their owners. If you are a parent, you may want to ask yourself, if your child could fend for itself out in the wild, like a dog or cat might, would they run away from you? When they are no longer dependent on you and can live on their own, do you think they will voluntarily choose to relate with you, or will they seek to avoid you?
Lori. Yes this so works with a child or children in mind.
So Heartwarming!
Cried. I miss Buster…

my 17 year old is becoming very frail, is deaf and blind, has dementia, and it is sooo hard for me to "be" with it all…i know the time is coming where he will die, but i cannot bring myself to do it to him. i pray for his peaceful passing and that i have the strength to deal with it. i've had him since he was 6 weeks old and we've been through everything together. thanks for the article.
It's not something you do to him, it is for him. I was so worried I would not know when, that I would do it too soon, too late- but one day I looked at him and did know, we all knew, and it was right. I have great compassion for where you are at and encourage you to relax, and listen with your heart.
I'm glad I could find this post once again. I tucked it away in my mind for when the time would come. Kingdom would've turned 16 next month. I had a doctor come to my home to euthanize him yesterday. It was a peaceful passing and so filled with love. He was ready and conveyed it. He is sorry for all the poop — but so glad to have been part of my family. Thank you Waylon for posting this. – your fellow dog lover, Roger
We helped our last guy pass some years ago. Of course it was heartbreaking, but we stayed present and loved him right through his transition, and it was so full of love and tears. We get to love them forever.
I am loving reading all of these beautiful comments. It reminds me that we are all full of love and that is what we are. Blessings…
