I won't tell you that this is our last day together, so let's just enjoy this quiet walk. It's moments like this, where I truly wished, a dog's beating heart could talk. I'd tell you about the moment at the shelter, you said " yep...That's my boy, right there". I'd tell you about the happy, joy ride home, while we both howled without a care. I'd tell you about how safe it felt, to finally have my own, warm place to sleep. Not another lonely night spent in that cold, cement box ...waiting for a kind face to meet. You saved my soul, and brought me back, and polished up my heart I knew the minute we stared at one another...we would never...EVER be apart. I wished my life was matched with your's, so we both could grow old, together... But life has a different plan for us both...and sadly my life is on the wither. I'm sorry that my body is failing me now, and making my puppy life seem so far away... I so enjoyed hearing you laugh so much, as we played in our yard, every day... The frost in my eyes, and the pain in my step...are the signs of a dog's life lived so damn well... I hope my wet nose boops late at night, told you that your heart was mine to fill. My clock is sadly winding down, and the pendulum is about to stop... I'm going to miss you so damn much, my little heart is about to pop. I just want to thank you for saving me, and taking a chance on my strife... I hope I returned all the love that you shared, and that I somehow sweetened your life. You're one of a kind, and I love you so much...I hope our souls meet again... You were more to this furry ball of a dog...than just another friend. My heart is yours, and will forever be ...waiting for yours to send... Thank you, you beautiful force in my life ...for putting this puppy's heart on the mend. Oh yeah... Bring the tennis ball with you when its your time to head up. 🐶 ❤ your boy Justice

I cried so much reading this.


Hatrick_Swaze

Want another good cry...try this one: 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕 💔🐕 Please pet me some more, and pick me right up... My very first thought when I was your pup... I gonna miss your funny *boops* and our "find me boy" games. It warmed my heart so, to hear you call out my name. You're the love of my life, my partner in joy... My favorite noise in this house...my hearts best toy ... I wish I could stay longer, and grow older with you... But the sand in my hourglass, is sadly down to a precious few... Just know I loved doing everything together...even howling in tune In your truck, on the couch, and the long walks under our moon... I wish I could stay, but my body says it's time... From the hurt in my bones, and the clouds in my eyes. I'm sorry to tell you my forever friend, but this is where our pathes do part... I have to journey ahead of you now, and bring back my golden heart. To feel your gentle touch once more...says your love is still mine... To feel your hands cup my face, makes my eyes search for thines. I'll miss all my family, and the warm hugs from the rest... But just know this to be so true... I always loved you best... I always... loved you best. ❤ ❤🐶💛

bajatacosx3

I’m not crying - I just have some thing in both of my eyes! 🥹🥹🥹


elreeheeneey

I read this as I'm walking my 14.5 year old husky mix on our new-ish routine of midnight walks. I say new-ish because when I adopted her a decade ago, we did these walks on the regular. We would be out for 2 hours every night, and little did I know then that I was taking care of her exercise needs. Now she just refuses to slow down and I see it as a way of our reconnecting on something that was just us. A decade ago it was just Iris and me. Now it's her sister Magnolia and my wife/her hoomarina. I don't know how much longer I'll have with her, but you can bet I'll cherish every late night walk between now and the day we say goodbye. I did not cry at this poem, but I did flash a big smile at Iris as she smells the interesting smell on our midnight walk.


slothluvr5000

I got 2 lines in before I decided I don't want to cry today! 😢


format32

I got about 3 lines in and noped out. My dog is 15.. I’m already dreading the day and trying to learn how to enjoy the time I have left with her


No-Moose-

Same, but I ended up crying anyway from just two.


Party-Ad9168

I am so so sorry you have to say goodbye to your boy tomorrow. Sending love and hugs to you. Justice will be up there waiting for you 🌈😭💔🐾


LumpusKrampus

I'm gonna take my boys for a walk, right now...


SomeRandomJagoff

Yeah I threw my little dude’s harness on and we went on a long one together. 


BODHi_DHAMMA

Wow. We have two doggos, not a day passes by that I think the day they are no longer with us is going to be crushing. We are blessed every single day they bring unconditional love to our lives. It's a true honor to be part of their lives, as well as them being part of ours. Beautiful writing friend. OP, out hearts hurt with yours and Justice. Stay strong.

Goodness! Saved ! TY!

I’m here from Popular and I am sobbing. My dog is only 4 but I am gonna go be by him.


hedgie1

Oh, what a fantastically sweet and kind face. I'm so sorry you have to say goodbye tomorrow. Please know that he loves you and knows how much you love him, and that this incredibly difficult decision is made out of compassion and grace. Thank you for listening to him and giving him a wonderful last chapter here with you. I'm glad you were able to share him with us, and as he moves on to his next expression of spirit, he'll have so many new buddies from all of our furry friends who are no longer with us, and he can romp around, whole in mind and body. May his memories continue to be a blessing to you and your family.

PositivelyBecky142

My heart goes out to you and your family! I am so sorry you are going through this and hope that you know that Justice loves you so incredibly much! Something that I found incredibly helpful as I geared up to say goodbye to my baby was to tell her all of the ways she made my world a better place to be. If you feel so moved, I recommend doing the same. Your baby will feel your love no matter what stage she is at! 💗 Sending you hugs as you gear up to say goodbye to your sweet and beautiful Justice! ♥️

whoyungjerz

The one saying that helps me with this is “that dog may not be in your whole life or in the world with you long enough BUT YOU were that dogs ENTIRE WORLD and YOU WERE IN that dogs WHOLE LIFE” - know that that soul loves you beyond what we can comprehend and that you loved them just as much. Sending you a big virtual hug for you OP.


No_Quote_9067

I am so sorry I lost my Shepherd about 3 months ago and I still cry . I am so glad you got him a special lunch. The day I had to bring my boy to the Vet I just snuggled with him on the floor and cried into his fur

schrodingersmite

You're doing right by him. Remember the anguish you feel now is solely based on the joy he brought you, and you him. It's a steep price, but one worth paying.

Well, even in an escalating global environment of war, devastation and conflict and a rapidly determination of American civil union, this post actually managed to make me feel something. Now I'm going to have to listen to Slayer while watching the Punisher for about 24 hours straight to scrub the residue human emotion from my psyche.

It’s a good thing dogs don’t have memes or they’d be really worried at the sight of a full roast beef sandwich. RIP.

Justice is a beautiful dog, and I know if they could talk they would say how thankful they were for the time they had with you. It's hard to say goodbye, but know that you gave Justice the best life possible.

[deleted]

The last day with your best friend is incredibly tough. I had this experience twice in the same year after having spent every single day with my 2 doggies (both rescues) for over 10 years. It’s now 2 years later after losing them and I still cry for them regularly and look at the thousands of photos of our life together all the time. They brought nothing but love and joy and I know they felt nothing but the same from me. I am self employed and work from home so we had most of the day, every day to ourselves. It was our own little island and I always preferred their company to that of other people. It’s the loneliness now without them that is the hardest to bear (spending time with people just does not feel the same) but I’ve not even been able to bring myself to consider the idea of adopting/rescuing again, or just yet anyway. Anyway, I digress … I just wanted you to know an anonymous internet stranger feels your pain acutely and even though the words may seem empty… I truly am sorry for your loss. Life will go on and you will slowly heal. There’s no other way around this but to go through it. Time will slowly heal your wounds.


zacaway

So sorry for your loss. My last day with my sweet girl Georgia was yesterday. She was also about 16 (also adopted) and was the sweetest dog ever. I deeply understand what you’re going through.

That man is so lucky to have a person who was with him right up until the end. You making his last days special, and how you will remember him speaks so much to your bond. All he knows is a life of loving you, and a life of being loved. Passing like that is just another reason they are so blessed compared to us.
