Hey guys.
My beagle just died like an hour ago. I'm super sad. He was (oh god I had to use past tense) pretty ill this past year, i.e. weak joints and several large benign tumors. This past week he stopped eating all his food so I knew something was up.
Today I watched him go outside, probably to take a piss, but something was wrong. I saw he was breathing funny and he stopped at the foot of the patio stairs. When I was about to go outside to check on him, I saw it happen. He fell down about 5 stairs onto his back. Yelling for my parents to come, I ran outside to his aid. He was urinating laying on back and seemed to be passed out. My father came out and helped me carry him to the car. I knew then that poor Chance wasn't going to be coming home.
At the vet, it was pretty clear that we needed to put him to sleep to ease his suffering. What followed was a bit a waiting and a touching farewell as the doctor injected him with the anesthetic and subsequently the needle that made him pass away.

That sucks man.
However, 14 years is pretty old for a dog, so you must have done a good job raising him.
I only really have one story along those lines, but it's not very good, or long... really, I had a cat that was in the family since I was born, and I must have been in grade 6 around this time, but I was leaving for school in the morning, and it ran up to me, so I picked it up, and, well, it just died right there. I remember staring at it, putting it down, and running directly to school.

crazy having a dog all your life then it not being there
Anyway, I used to carry this mouse around the house with me all the time. He's either just chill on my shoulder, or sit in my shirt pocket.
One day I came home from school, and I went to give him some new feed. He was curled up in his tissues, stiff as a board, dead.
I ran inside, started going insane and crying, I collapsed on a couch, and my mum asked me what was wrong. I just screamed "HE'S DEAD! HE'S FUCKING DEAD! AAAAAAAHHH".
I loved that Mouse.
Oh my god
I'm sorry but I laughed at this
He's got a big lump on his chest, which the vet said cannot be removed, but is not endangering him. Because he's so old, chances are he wouldn't survive surgery anyway.
Also, he's gone almost totally blind, but he can still manage to find his way around the house perfectly. It's quite incredible.
I named him after Raphael, the ninja turtle.
Yea, in retrospect it's sort of absurd. I mean, it took me like, a year to really get over it, but things get easier with time.
Actually, the whiskers on a cats face are great for sensory purposes. Detecting vibrations in the air and minute currents and that. Really gives them an edge.
y'know
obviously a much better pet owner
I'm sorry, dude.
Also, this is Atticus.
:x

If you want some hints man
I'll help you out
hint 1: try not to kill your pets
Also, he loves Christmas and always opens his own presents. And for some reason always knows which ones are his.
This is my girl Katie, an awesome Redbone Coonhound, she's my little angel.
This was my little man Snatch. He was a mutt, runt of the litter. Sadly he never made it past puppy, but he was pretty adorable and went easy and without any pain from heart trouble.
I also now have a Corgi, named oddly enough, Corgi. No picture of him though.
I really miss my kids as they are back home with the wife in IL.
she is named mardi gras
she is adorable
His face looks just like my dog.
He's a Beagle/Cocker Spaniel. And he's getting on in years. And he's overweight.
:(:(:(
Worries me.
They are pretty rad you guys
Hey Andrew
I forget which dog is that
Isnt that the one who killed the rabbits and that single raccoon?
you so silly
uh so I read the thread properly and in the context of the dog being put down rather than dying of old age which I assumed, my comment about killing the pet was unimaginably cruel and uncalled for. So sorry.
ha ha
inappropriate
he's missing an O and a T in his title somewhere.
Argh fuck I made myself sad
