You were my best friend for 16 years. Together we had many adventures and your friendship and unconditional love will be forever missed. My heart is broken, but I know you were tired and you told me it was time. We took you outside for some sunshine before you settled down for a nap beside me. I’ll miss you my silly, prince. I’ll see you again. I love you, Finn. Thank you for reading - I wanted to share how sweet our boy is.

Ive grown up with him for 16 years his health had declined drastically in the past few months which led to the decision of having him put to sleep. It was for the best but i dont know how to cope with it he had always been my rock through childhood and into adulthood

An hour from now this sweet old man will be crossing. He just ate a rotisserie chicken for dinner. 😭

Olive was struggling with all of this - struggling to breathe, tripping over her legs, struggling to wash herself after going to the toilet and refusing regular food - as a result of a lumbar/sacral tail tumour and so it was the right time to say goodbye but I am really sad.

In the loving memory of my dog(oddy)...

It has been almost 7 years since he left us. I was only 13 or 14 years old when our family adopted him. He was so cute and playful, and I still remember his first day at home. He didn't even sleep that first day and cried all night—I guess all puppies do that when they're adjusting to a new environment. I was like, "Oddy, please go to sleep, yaar; along with you, they're going to kick me out too!" 😂😂

He was so cute. I could go on and on typing about him, but it will never bring him back. October 16th is the day we adopted him, and that's his official birthday. I just wanted to share his memory with all of you.

He's cute isn't he😭😭😭

My cat of 18 years chose to end things on her terms.

This is cricket…Ive had her for 18 years. She was “the” cat for me and I loved her. She loved me, anytime I was sad or upset she came to me and we would cuddle.

She was old and lately was getting a bit skinny but she hid it well until…she disappeared. For her entire life she’s been an inside cat and there was no good excuse why she would leave unless..it was her time.

I had the garage open for days, throughout the night. I slepped downstairs in hopes of awaking to find her with me…alas…she hasn’t returned. Finally it rained a cold freezing rain and I just broke. There wasn’t any excuses or pleading to do…she chose to end things on her terms and I feel like I lost a part of myself. She was “my” cat, the soul bonded one who loved me throughout the multiple loses over the past months…and losing her has…broken me

Bye Charlie. You will never leave my thoughts and memories.

Who would have ever thought 17.5 years would seem so short? I can't believe you are gone. You and your brother are my best friends, and I can't even put into words how much you have meant to me. I love you so much.

Charlie passed away in his sleep on Sunday, October 10th. I gave him his food and turned the bowl to help him because moving had become a struggle for him. I told him how much I loved him and what a good boy he was. I put him into his bed and said good night. He was gone in the morning when I woke up.

He went nearly everywhere with me for his whole life. Every trip or car ride. He was my cuddle buddy every night. He provided me with so much warmth, excitement, and affection throughout his life. It has killed me the past few months to see his body failing him. He was the strongest dog I've ever been around, both physically and mentally. I honestly didn't know if he'd ever let himself pass. He did, though, I think to save me having to make a very tough decision. My life has had lots of ups and downs, and he was there for me for every one of them for the last 17.5 years.

I love you Char! You are irreplaceable and I hope you know how much you are missed!

Bucky has been gone for a few weeks now. I haven't really been able to bring myself to talk about him much until now, but I'm really feeling it right now and need to get this out somewhere.

He was nine years old. We brought him to the vet a few weeks ago because he hadn't been eating well. We'd thought he just needed his meds adjusted because of some pre-existing digestive issues, but as it turned out he had cancer and there wasn't anything the vet could do for him other than to put him to sleep before it progressed any further. It all happened so quickly that it was very hard to process, but we chose to let him go as peacefully as possible.

I've been around cats my whole life, but none of them were nearly as special to me as Bucky was. He was the sweetest little guy ever, always wanting scratchies and cuddles. I don't even know if I have the words to describe how much this little guy meant to me. He came into my life at a point where my mental health was at the absolute worst it's ever been, and he gave me a reason to want to live again when I didn't want to keep going. I am overall in a much better place than I had been in all those years ago, and I'm going to do my best to keep going in his memory, but fuck man it's been a rough few weeks.

Fuck cancer.

Welp here we are just 2 more days with you out of the 6,121 days (16years) you gave me thank you for being my best friend from when I was 12 to almost being 30years old . You’ve seen me at my best you seen me at my lowest no one truly knows me like you. I will miss you dearly . You truly let me feel what real love is! I will forever carry you and all our memories deep in my heart
Coco , I could’ve never asked for a better companion/ soul dog like you
You outlived all of your puppies and your husband (lol the puppies father) you’ve survived a dog attack, a broken paw and a cut from a metal fence you are the strongest dog I’ve ever known with a big heart
Over the years, she has developed a heart murmur, which later advanced to CHF and it sucks to see you every day get worse, coughing up a storm countless times going to the Vet more and even them upping your medicine you still stuck around cause you’re strong stronger than me maybe , but I can’t watch you get any weaker and pains my heart to see you in pain from all the health issues that came with your old age I know you still think you’re a puppy but your body says otherwise that’s okay because you know how deep I love you you can tell when you look at me what you’re loving eyes you know

It sucks that I feel guilty having to make this decision but I know it’s the correct one because your health will only get worse and I don’t want you to feel pain so I’d rather you have a peaceful service which will be held Saturday and would be held on Saturday at 1pm with all of our family around us, the people who love you you will be safe and you will go peacefully
You’re my childhood dog my first baby my first true best friend I will never forget you when I will never let you be forgotten until we have to meet Coco T.
Here are a few pictures from when she was a puppy and just throughout the years.
I will try to make today tomorrow, the best days of your life, even though we’ve had many best days ever I never forget you.
