i had to put my dog down last sunday which was a really good desision to put him out of his pain. i feel lost i have no motivation for anything. getting a job- i am not good enough for anything. i honestley just feel like giving up like im so depressed. i also suffer from panic attacks which i have a rlly big one but it was so nice laying next to him cuddling him sometimes. i just want to cuddle him again and have him here. we got the ashes back but it is literally not the same as to having him in the hose but honestly its better to see him pain free then to be in pain.....

So sorry to hear that. A dog is a valued part of the family and a good friend. Sadly they do not live as long as we do so we have to go through this grief. The only advice I can give is to remember the good times and you did the right thing. It is a very difficult decision, but when the dog is in pain it is for the best. Take care.

Can be like any normal grief process. You will feel sad. Might be a few tears. Might take a bit of time for you, not having the dog around any more. So allow yourself that time. Pet's are part of the family. At times we have to make some hard choices. You done the right thing.
yes! thankyou for the advce
i tell myself he is no longer in pain but it hurts he is not here
Dogs are just wonderful and their love for us in unconditional. I’m sorry for your loss. This grief is new so and of course it’s painful. Perhaps talk with others who’ve experienced this same loss. We lost our dog of 11 years about 2 years ago then got a new dog about a year ago. What a void our new dog filled. I hope you’ll consider getting a new pup in the future. It sounds like you are a great owner and there are so many dogs that need someone like you.
