I lost my best friend tonight. (Furry friend)

I had to say goodbye to Lil’Patches tonight.
His epilepsy, grand mal seizures had been getting worse over the last year, we tried so many different med combos but nothing was working. last 6 months having cycle seizures where he would go a month with out one then have 3 or 4 in a day he’d get a IV and it would break the cycle. Tonight he started a cycle and it was rapid, Every 10 minutes. Nothing could be done to break the cycle and it was getting less then a minute apart near the end. When it got to the point he had been seizing for 2 hours with clear indications of neurological damage and they had become so violent upon Dr advice I had to make choice and his suffering.

Patches was never supposed to be mine. I got as a him for my mom to help her. I ignored him for the first month. Trying to get him to become her dog. He wouldn’t have it, everyday demanding attention until he one day he made it in to my lap and snuggled in and for 8 years, he was my shadow, best friend, my shoulder to lean on, I needed him as much as he needed me.

He took my heart and soul with him, I’m utterly devastated...

I hate it for you. There are no words to describe the loss of a loyal, loving friend.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your buddy. It never gets any easier. Hang tough.

So sorry to hear this....they really are more than we deserve. With time it gets easier but it's never forgotten.

So very sorry for your loss.
They fill such a big place in our hearts.

Dogs give their affections unconditionally so it hurts more to lose them then a human. I think more of my dogs than I do most other humans so I feel your pain and send prayers your way for healing.

Sorry for your loss.

Very sorry for your loss. Those are never easy decisions to make, even though sometimes they’re the right thing to do.

Very sorry for your loss. They always leave a big hole in our heart when they move on.

Sorry For Your Loss R.I.P. Patches

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure he knew you loved him.

Sorry for your loss. If I make it through losing the two that I have now, I don't think I'll get another. It's just too hard to lose them.

@SnowRooster , sorry for your loss. Sounds like you two were good for each other. It's tough now but, you'll forever have the good memories of Patches.

So sorry for your loss.

It's hard to lose family.
My deepest condolences.

Patches is missing you just as much and that's why he's waiting on you, just over the bridge.....

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I know how it feels.

So sorry for your loss .

Sorry for your loss -As BB said-you will see him again later.

I don;t think anything feels worse than losing a four legged friend.

I’m very sorry Rooster. Dogs are a gift from God.

I am very sorry. They pick us,we don’t pick them. Rest In Peace Patches

Enjoy the memories. RIP Patches.

Sorry Rooster, losing a companion is a real blow.

Sorry for the loss. I care for my four legged buddy more than most 2 legged ones.

They really do become our best friends. Mine are with me more than anyone else in the entire world including my wife. They just don't live long enough. I miss every single one that has been in my care. Take solace in fact that you gave your friend the last great gift you could. You took on great loss and pain in order to end his suffering and pain. It is the last and most noble thing we can do for our four legged friends. If he could he would thank you for your gesture of kindness.

He'll always be at your side.

condolences on your loss. He has crossed over that rainbow bridge.

So sorry for your loss.
He'll be waiting for you on the other side.

I am so sorry for your loss and I share in it with you. We had to put our 10 year old beagle down about 6 weeks ago due to sudden collapse and paralysis of her entire rear legs/back. Rushed her to the vet and was told no hope for recovery or quality of life. Once again had to make the decision of what was best for her. It's never easy, even after 7 other times over the last 35 years. But, I know I'll be mobbed by a pack of dogs when I reach that Rainbow Bridge. Lots of licks and kisses and love. They are always in our memory and always a part of us from the love they have given. If we could only learn from our dogs to love others as they have loved us.

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a sweet pup...RIP Patches. Someday we'll go and be with our dogs in the Great Beyond.

I know the feeling. But take heart - he's waiting across the rainbow bridge, and the reunion will be joyous.

I am saddened by your loss. Obviously, it was time, and you did the right thing, but I know that doesn't help much.

So sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend.

Very sorry. Having been through this twice last month I know how bad it sucks. Sucks way worse than you anticipate it should. He earned a place in your heart, that won't go away.
