My ass would've hit an iceberg then because the first thing I would have done was rename it
Lol, my last boat was named Twenty fish to life.
It had a picture of a flounder with a handcuff in it mouth as the hook.
Gonna have to put my dog down when i get home.

My condolences to you and your family . Had a Chau/ Black Lab for 16 years. I cried so hard when he passed. Dogs help keep you grounded.
Brah pets are family (our dogs are for sure) plain and simple. Plus they're a lot less messy (no drama) than your human family. Harder to let them go too. I cried more for my English bulldog when she died than I have for some blood relatives when they passed.
I haven't got to the crying part yet. Prob gonna happen when I talk to my kids about what has to happen. Imma just keep drinking for the time being.
Yeah, when I asked the doctor what could we do, she said it was too late. We could have paid for surgery, but cost and uncertainty was too much for me to bear. I couldn’t do it.
It started storming outside when right after the doctor told me and I began to cry. Then I thought about that Temptation song “I Wish It Would Rain” and I laughed at myself a little.
I got a pet rabbit that is my lil homie. I love that rabbit, man. Lol. I told myself I rather not own animals because of my attachment to them. Because losing them makes me feel sad, and I hate feeling sad.
I got home last night, its weird, I dont think she looks bad, she came hobbling up to me when I walked through the door. Don't really seem any different but I do realize she is dying from the inside out. I am waiting for my vet to open so I can make the appointment.
Man, I had to put down our 17yr old Retriever last year. She had long gone deaf and was almost blind. One night somebody came by the house and didn't close the gate when they left, and she wandered out in traffic and got hit really bad. She was beyond saving so I had to put her down myself right then and there. I had already lost my 5yr old Catahoula from cancer and I cried like a bitch behind that, she was my favorite dog ever. I said thats it, I don't want any more dogs. Then my little sister sees someone dump a puppy in front of her house, she was only a few months old. What does she do? Bring it to me. That was 2 years ago.
You got this, fam.
A couple days before I put mine down we went for a nice 2 mile walk. I believe, sometimes in these moments we are hesitant to make tough decision because of how it makes us feel. But in the end, it’s what’s best for your friend.
I had a neighbor who had a 16 year old dog and she was in bad shape. The didn’t believe in euthanizing, so the dog eventually died in the house in the cage.
I don’t judge anyone who decides to handle these situations as they see fit. It’s not easy to let go.
Sorry fam, I know the feeling, had a chow/shepherd mix, he was 15 when we had to let him go. Kidney failure, he was deaf, bad joints. That was tough. I adopted a pit in 2021, pain in the ass but I wouldn't trade him for anything.
Done deal, I take her in next Tuesday.
Im going fishing this weekend so I will take her on a boat ride.
Im hope I dont bitch out when the time comes.
Thx bro
Me and my daughter went, yeah I cried like a bitch, well we both did.
The ride home was def uncomfortable. I have another rott though he was waiting there for us.
I think seeing my daughter upset made it worse, that was like her best friend too. We did get a good laugh talking about when she first started taking the dog for walks and the dog would literally drag her down the street, and the time she painted the dog to make her look like a giraffe, man I was pissed lol.
Damn sorry to hear that fam but Dak needed to be put out his misery anyway.
For real though, it really does suck.
I didnt even think I was gonna be able to take her in to the vet.
I share ur pain bro @
yeah they gave my lil man the needle while he was in my arms
rough shit man and $800 gone

I ended having to call my wife and daughter to come to the vet. They were caught by surprise. I just went ahead and made the decision. My wife and I did discuss beforehand what we would do, but when the time came I just made the decision.
In hindsight, I probably should have gave them more time, but there was no way I was going to be good waiting for the day to put him down. It was definitely selfish on my part.
But the hard part is over. You can begin healing now. You got the best years out your pal, so try not to feel too bad. Sounds like yall have some great memories.
Here’s the homie

Yeah I guess you are right, my younger daughter already wants to get another dog and we still have the other rott in the house he is 10. I told her Im not ready for another dog yet we are gonna wait it out.
In hindsight I should have probably done the shit last year, but I like you was being selfish.
I can say I am glad its over with though and she gonna be much more comfortable.
It will take some time getting used to her not being around but time heals all.
My brother was in that position. He had a 12 year old black lab, and a 5 year old chocolate lab. The 5 year old died during knee surgery. A few months later he got a rottie pup, about a month after that, he thought he got a German shepherd pup, turned out to be mixed with a St. Bernard, that mf is huge. The lab lived to 16. Unfortunately about 2 years ago the rottie got sick unexpectedly and had to be put down. He wasn't gonna get another one, but his other dog was clearly missing the rottie, he just picked up another German shep. Point is, give yourself some time to grieve, and after, you'll get the feeling again. We're dog people, we can only go so long without them.
And outta all those ailments.. her biggest one was having a bitch ass nigga for a owner..
Nothing like a good dog tho... Sorry for your loss man.
You cranky.
You need a glass of warm milk and a nap.
I don't know how many of yall remember this Old dude "Tyson"
He was a BGOL member back in the 90s .... Notice tthe Message board on the screen.
I had to let him go suddenly one day when I came home and found him barely alive
Took him to the emergency vet and emergency surgery and found out he was full of cancer.
He got outta here on me. He was a real one.

After my last dog died about 5 years ago... I refuse to get another one. Im done
I kinda of feel this way knowing my other dog is on borrowed time.
On the other hand, my dogs have always been my comfort.
They being me a certain peace.
Thanks bro !!!
