Yesterday, my 10.5-year-old black lab, Hoss, passed away unexpectedly, albeit quickly and painlessly, from what we think was heart failure. We’re gonna miss you so much, buddy. He died happy, and he knew he was loved. I didn’t know it would be the last time, but I gave him a good pet and a belly rub before I left for school yesterday, and I’m so glad I took the time to. Guys, cherish your time with your pets, and don’t take their presence for granted. Give them all the love you can while they’re around.

Sorry for your loss, I’m currently having issues with my own dog and am hoping he comes out of this okay

Nothing can really fill that hole when you lose an animal especially if you have had it for its entire life.

Sorry for your loss, I know he loved all the belly rubs. And couldn’t agree more with the sentiment, always give a belly rub before you leave the house!

I’m sorry :(

My big pup just turned 11 and I hope we’ll get a few more years together.

You have my condolences on your loss. Our dogs bring out the best in us, and they become as close as any human family member.

sorry for your loss, we lost our 10 year old goldendoodle to a stomach tumor last month and it was really hard. even though he was my parents family dog and my wife and i have our own puppy it was heart wrenching. but things get better

So sorry to hear friend, he was a big goofy buddy, so he knows you all loved him to bits.

I just came upstairs from holding my cat up to the basement door window so she could excitedly watch leaves blow around...

I am so sorry to hear this. It’s never easy to lose a pet. A few of mine are getting up there in age and I cherish every single minute I have them.

At least you can take solace that it was quick for him and it seems as though he didn’t suffer.

I know that feeling. Our wonderful little furmonster cat died on Thursday. I’ve been a mess ever since. Let yourself grieve. It’s normal and healthy.

Sorry for your loss.

That’s a wonderful photograph. And the beautiful thing about these animals is that you can begin again with the next one.

Thank you. I don’t know how much longer my mom can go without one, so hopefully the next one isn’t too far off.

Do it right away. Go to the Pound and get one that’s already mature so no puppy messes.

Seriously though: that’s a great photograph.

Yeah, that’s what my mom wants to do; we got Hoss when he was about 7. And believe it or not, it’s an iPhone picture.

Oh, I believe it.

We have a dog we rescued a few years ago. She grew up on the streets and must have been a dumpster diver. As a result, we cannot store any food within her reach and she’ll raid the kitchen garbage while we are at work.
