I once heard the phrase “Dogs don’t fear death, they fear pain.” And that made my decision on end of life care for my dog so much more peaceful.

You are really helping me. My dog has prostate cancer and he is much worse than Rudder currently is. Not suffering, but not himself at all. I have his at home euthanasia scheduled for 11/2 and I’m still back and forth about it. This video has helped me tremendously. I am so sorry we are both losing our best friends. All I do is cry. Prayers for you and Rudder. 💕💕💕

After I had to let my boy go I came across a quote that said "no longer where you once were, but everywhere I am" and that brought me so much comfort. I hope it can do the same for you. Sending you and rudder so much love this weekend 🫶🏼

I don’t think people realize how much of a strong woman you are to do this for him in this way. This is the hardest thing to do. May you find peace in the coming days. Thank you for sharing his journey with us. ❤️

My boy was diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma end of July, I let him go on a good day in early October. Extremely hard, but I promised him I’d let him go on a good day 💙

We had to say "see you later" to our family dog Max yesterday. he was 12 years old.
Tell Rudder to find Max,and he will have a friend while he waits on you.

I did this, this year and I don’t regret it. My 13 year old border collie- I told the vet I would rather say goodbye a week early than a day late. You’re doing him the greatest kindness and compassion that you could. ♥️

I just had to euthanize my pig 2 days ago. He most likely had a brain tumor and definitely arthritis, he was having a harder time getting around. It was the worst day of my life but I feel better knowing he’s no longer in pain. You’ve been such an incredible owner to Rudder, I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time in Chicago with him. Be sure to take as many pictures as possible

I lost my sweet girl to a tumor rupture in September. I can't begin to explain how terrible it was. You are sparing him so much misery and sparing yourself so much terror. What a beautiful gift for your amazing boy ❤️

Hemingway was my Rudder. I was the last thing his eyes ever saw. May they find each other wherever they are, and become buddies while they wait for the girls who would’ve given anything for them to stay.

I’d give anything to be able to let my boy go on a good day instead of medicated on a surgical table. Rudder is so lucky to have you.
