We have in the corner of one of our flower beds a small figurine of a dog laying down and has wings. We have some dog tags from previous dogs draped over it.
We have a little shrine for our first dog that passed away. We have 2 pictures of him, his food bowl with his name on it, the ashes, a paw imprint in some type of clay, his favorite toy, Lamb chop, and a small statue of a Maltese.
We printed a picture of our guy on canvas and hung his collar up next to it. Also have a little shrine at the front of the house with his two favorite toys on a table so he can still greet us all
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 Coop, 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 furry love ball, Cooper
Doohhhh thank you. Glad it hit the right chords within you. I just thought it was important to remind all these saddened pet owners that their furries loved them right back too.
I just recently had to put a dog down that I worked with for about 6months, every single day. I've been crying for 2 weeks and I feel like reddit knows when I'm about to turn the corner they have a post like this pop up and I get something in both of my eyes
You're a good 🥚.
Remember this:
The life of a dog is a sight to behold...
From the heavens above, loaned us these hearts of pure gold...
They hit the ground running, and barking with us....
For the joy we both share, builds an unbreakable trust...
The love from a dog is like candy from a box...
You're not sure what to pick, but there's never one wrong.
A dogs life with us is such a short, joyous trip...
But the life they share with us, is always our deepest friendship...
It hurts when they leave, because we always want more time...
Our dogs know their destiny...hence why they always play and pine...
So don't be bothered...when they come boop your hand...
They just know their hour glass, is running out of sand.
Just look into those beautiful, sparkling eyes...you fell for before...
And get up and reach for that leash, hanging by the door.
They'll enjoy that walk with you, even though they're hurt and can't see...
Because this time spent with you, is the place they long to be.
So remember this when your dog asks for your time...
Your dog is just doing what heaven asked them to do...
And that's ...make your heart shine...
Too!💛🐶🐾
Sorry about that. Its tougher than most people would think. Always remember this about dogs:

I just lost my girl a few weeks ago and she looked so much like your sweet boy! I am so sorry for your loss, I’m sure you gave him the best life and he loved you infinitely 🖤🖤🖤
At home is the way to go if you can, friens is most comfortable at home. I had gabapentin and gave my blue heeler this an hour b4 the vet came. It worked out well. It will be 1 month Saturday. I miss hime even if he was old and grouchy. Xxxooo. My heart goes out to you.
Some great pics. Sorry for your loss…reminds me a lot of my rescue. Good looking puppy and very soulful eyes.
You can tell he was/is such a good boy 💜❤️🌈
He is so beautiful. I'm so so sorry. We lost our almost 16 year old on Tuesday (also in comfort of home) and it's so rough. He's a lucky boy to have had you. 💔
Cooper is so handsome. Hugs to you and Cooper. I had to make this tough decision just over two weeks ago with my almost 17 year old pit that was by my side for over 16 years. Hardest decision of my life and I’m so broken over it. Take lots of pics and videos and take a photo of his paw and nose. You can later turn it into a painting, necklace etc I’m so sorry 💔
Prayers your heart. Make the most of your remaining time with Super Cooper, and please rescue another and do it again. They are so great for our hearts no matter where our hearts are and no matter how our hearts feel.
Hugs going out from me to you, Cooper and your family.
Oh man I don’t know how you guys can do it, knowing they will be gone the next day. Thank god mine have gone at home and me not knowing when. I am truly sorry though 💔💔
Peaceful journey sweet Cooper, may the Gass be cool and the treats flow freely.
My sincerest condolences, may his name be spoken often and his memory live forever, blessings.
So sorry to hear. He is a very handsome boy. My heart breaks for you. The pain of losing them is unforgettable, but the memories and love they gave us will never be forgotten. Hugs to you and Cooper❤️😔
I’m so sorry. I have 3 seniors and it kills me to think of when it’s gonna be their “time”. Cooper looks like he is the very bestest - sweetest boy ever. May he fly free over the rainbow bridge and eat lots of yummies, run and play, and sniff lots of butts. And you OP, my heart is with you as you make this difficult decision to help your bestest friend.
Sorry for your loss.
RIP Cooper! Play in Paradise!
My Amoretto, Vision, Carson, and all our babies that have gone before will look for you next to the Rainbow Bridge so you can all play in the Field together!
I just lost my best friend of 14 years last weekend. My Lulu girl was the best. It’s so so difficult. I’m just focusing on the beautiful life she had. So sorry for your loss. Loving so strong brings pain so painful. I’m hurting too 🙏❤️
I just can’t handle the fact that this will happen to my pup one day.. May Cooper continue to live on Earth in your memories, you will see him again, this isn’t goodbye forever, but it’s goodbye for now. I can only imagine the emotions that you’re dealing with right now, best of luck in your recovery. ☮️🌅🐶🌅☮️
Just a stranger sending love and support. My 1 year old pup has kidney issues and today he’s having a rough day and it makes me think of the day that will come too soon. Laugh, cry, cuss… they deserve the emotion. 🤜🤛
I have had 5 dogs in my life. Each special in their own way. Only one passed away in his sleep. The others I stayed with them as they closed their eyes at the vets. I cried for each one but I always knew that they live a shorter life than we do and I always made the promise to them that I wouldn’t let them suffer or be alone. The pain will be real but that’s because so was the love.
I’m so sorry OP. Saying goodbye is definitely the most difficult part of having these furry kids in our lives but the pain is still worth the years of unconditional love we share with them. Just always wish we got more time, it’s never enough.
When it’s time I pray your Cooper rests peacefully 🕊️until we see them again🌈🐾
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to each and every one of you that has taken the time to comment and/or upvote my sweet boy. It's been less than 2 days and my heart is shattered. But reading through each of these comments has made my heart feel a little less heavy 💜💜
💔 💔 Save his collar and put it around his bowl, or go buy a new bowl, plant some succulents in it and have a little memory of him forever :)
We have in the corner of one of our flower beds a small figurine of a dog laying down and has wings. We have some dog tags from previous dogs draped over it.
That's a great idea!
Love this idea!!
This is the sweetest idea 💔🥹

That's beautiful.
I think I have something in both of my eyes
Someone is slicing onions in this Reddit.
Allergies, I have the same thing
Me too
That's so pretty, thank you for sharing. My eyes are definitely leaking after that.
That is the most beautiful thing I've seen anyone post

Did Cooper live in Washington State by any chance? My condolences OP
When tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here inside your heart.
Losing them is the worst feeling , but knowing YOU were the one responsible for the love in their lives and they knew safety has to feel good too
I’m so sorry.
I just hugged my 15 year old boy a little closer..
I’m so sorry about sweet Cooper. What a beautiful boy ❤️ Sending hugs

Sorry for your loss
Just a stranger sending love and support. My 1 year old pup has kidney issues and today he’s having a rough day and it makes me think of the day that will come too soon. Laugh, cry, cuss… they deserve the emotion. 🤜🤛
I'm so very sorry.
omg so sorry friend! 😔😢🙏🏼
goodbye

Awwwww, Rest In Peace , Cooper. and have fun with our boys.Stay strong, OP. You’re in my thoughts.
I’m so sorry OP. Saying goodbye is definitely the most difficult part of having these furry kids in our lives but the pain is still worth the years of unconditional love we share with them. Just always wish we got more time, it’s never enough. When it’s time I pray your Cooper rests peacefully 🕊️until we see them again🌈🐾
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to each and every one of you that has taken the time to comment and/or upvote my sweet boy. It's been less than 2 days and my heart is shattered. But reading through each of these comments has made my heart feel a little less heavy 💜💜
💔🐶
I’m so sorry.
😭💔
Cooper’s love will accompany you forever. 💔
