That really sucks, growing up with a pet is great until it nears the ends.

You gave him a safe, secure home and lots of love. Thats the best any dog can hope for in their life and if he could I'm sure he'd tell you he has no regrets! <3 Meatball
It's rough. We all get pets knowing that they don't live as long as we do but they give us more than we give them. It's never easy but now is the time to be with your buddy and spoil him with anything that makes him happy.
Does anyone have experiences with a parrot as a pet? They can last a human lifetime.

Man, it sucks to have a dog die.
Girlfriends/Boyfriends come & go. Your husband or wife fight with you and may leave.
But your dog is always there for you. Always happy to see you. They are the only ones that never betray you.

Fuck, man. Really sorry. Threads like this are so hard for me to read. I love animals. Pretty much grew up with four dogs (all gone now, the last of them went very recently), and I now have two cats that I love dearly.

Yeah. Give him everything he always/ever wanted! Table scraps and whatever! Cook a meal of his favorite table scraps for him.

My fifteen year old Wondermutt died of liver cancer last year. Always loyal, always loving. Such is the way of a faithful companion. His name was Redd, after his luxurious coat, but earned that nickname, as his breed was a mystery to just about everyone, including me, and he was wonderful, loyal, protective, and pretty much my best dog ever.
Our deepest sympathies and support for your companion. Enjoy this time as much as you can.

yeah youre right what am i saying
you cant really spoil a dog without doing harm to its health
He's dying so why the fuck not send him out happy, with everything he always wanted?

I know how it feels. Mine too is dying. She has a tumor between her jaw and ear and the vet says we cant operate because of the age (she is 13). All we can do is give her medicines and make her comfortable and hope that she lives as long as possible. She is in pain and I cant see that. Man it sucks! I love her so much. I grew up with her and now she will be gone.
So yeah, I'd say just spend as much time as possible with Meatball. Spoil him, as others said.

my dog is immortal and will be with me forever until I die
I remember a couple threads before, one of a guy's grandpa that was dying and he requested a beer. One of the last photos they took was the family around him, in his hospital bed, having a beer.
Another thread was about a dog dying and the OP cooking him a meal (I think) and pouring a beer in his bowl, because the dog would always try to knock over beer bottles and sneak a drink.
I think one of those threads was on here, maybe both of them. They were pretty moving.
Wow....you're a big pile of shit....why would you even post that?
OP, I'm really sorry to hear that. My dog's kidney's failed about 2 years ago and we had him put to sleep when he wouldn't eat or drink. It was devastating. I miss him dearly.

reading this made take a look at my 2 Chihuahuas and my German Shepherd and shed a tear. Treat him well and give the things the dog would like. some good meals and make sure he sleeps on a comfortable place. Spend most of the time you can with it and my heart goes to you. This buddies are really like babies and seeing go its really a pain.
I know how you feel. My dog is 13 and he seems to be getting bad. He has to pee every hour or so and is drinking a lot of water.
He's having trouble getting up and I can see his back legs are bothering him quite a bit.
I've had him since he was 9 weeks or so and since I'm 26 that's half my life I've had him. I just realized that the other day and it hit me hard. Fuck
Up until a few months ago it seemed like he was never going to age and then all of a sudden its like it hit him all at once. I'm pretty bummed.

Get him checked out. You might want to put him on the kidney health diet. Science diet has some good food for that. Might make him more comfortable. It's hard, I'm sorry.

I've lost 2 dogs at this point, and it never gets easier. I feel for you man. I love each and every one of my dogs so much that each time one dies, it's utterly earth shattering for me.
Be strong, man. Be strong.

So sorry to hear that man. Mine had liver and pancreatic cancer, had to put him down Christmas eve night. Was a horrible situation, but the right thing to do.

I don't know how the OP feels about piggybacking on his thread, but I spent today burying my canine companion of the last seventeen years. His health had been remarkably good, robust even, his entire life until the last year-and-a-half when a leg injury forced me to confine him and restrict his movements lest he aggravate and re-injure himself. After that he deteriorated pretty rapidly, with arthritis and back/hip problems leaving him hunched and able to walk only with considerable difficulty. The last month was especially bad, as only hunger or thirst would drive him to leave his bed, then not even that at the end. I considered putting him to sleep several times, but couldn't bring myself to go through with it; in the end, I settled for trying to make his last days as comfortable as possible. The night before he passed, I held him in my arms and talked to him; on Sunday, when I returned home that afternoon he was already gone.
Here is a picture, taken four years ago when he was in better health:
Goodbye, O.B.

Yeah I'm going to take him to the vet soon. I might try that diet in the mean time, thanks for the advice.

Beautiful dog, my condolences. I'm sure it meant a lot to him that you cared for him as much as he did you.
When we found out my dogs kidneys were failing it was a complete shock. He was 11 (maybe 12?) and seemed to be in perfect health. The vet was going to put him under to clean his teeth but did a blood test first to make sure everything was good....it wasn't. His kidneys were basically not working but you certainly couldn't tell it from the outside. He would still run around like a crazy dog trying to catch squirrels and shit. We got him on that diet for about a month and then one day he just wouldn't get up anymore. Wouldn't eat his dog food or human food. Wouldn't drink, wasn't peeing, it was awful. We put him down that day. It was the worst day in recent memory. It almost hit me harder than when some of family members died.

This thread is going to make me cry. heh.
Is the cancer treatable, OP?
I worry more than I should lately about my 10 and 11 year old cats' time coming soon. Hate myself when I do for thinking that way instead of loving every moment.

I lost my dog to a seizure two weeks ago. She was getting a treat, got too excited, and that was it.
Cherish every moment you have with your dog.
