God Why Me? What Did I Do?

[Viral Death]

Yesterday my do was walking weird and we found out that he can not controll his hind legs anymore he has no energy. So now he is blind and cant walk. I woke up with the dog laying in the front room and my grandfather crying. I got home and my grandmother sayed get me a coke and we need to talk. I told her ok and got her coke and asked her what it was about. She told me I needed to go with her to put my dog down I cried and sayed yes. Why did she pick me? Why me?

Bad things happen to both good and bad people. Death is something we all have to deal with in our lives. She probably pick you cause it was your dog. She probably wanted you to be there. Think, would you rather have let the dog suffer or have it the way it is.


Im sorry to here about this. I had to go with my mom to put my cat down a few months ago and it was one of the hardest things ive done. I understand how you feel.

I may not be able to answer why she picked you, but remember that whatever happens. Life will go on

oh I know how that goes too...and that is not fun...I have not had to put a pet down..but instead watch several people die away....and I know how hard it can be...
Listen I don't know why she chose you but God has a plan for you and this is all apart of his plan...and I know something good will come out of everything that is bad. God has proved it in my life several times...just trust Him...I think part of the reason your grandma asked you to come was because your grandpa just could not deal with it...it was too hard for him...and it was probably hard for her and she needed someone to come with...for support too...so that could be part of the reason why she asked you...I'm praying for you! Feel free to PM me anytime if you want to talk

Oh, Colton, I am so sorry for you. I know how hard this is, I'm a dogaholic myself and sadly have been in your situation. It's just awful.

It's always hard at the end, we know eventually it will happen, but we just sorta push it out of our mind. I think this is natural, to deny the impending (and permanent) loss. It speaks to our love and attachment.

I think your grandparents realized that your fur person is an important part of your life and that you love him a lot, and with his rapid deterioration, that the end was imminent. And, they thought you needed to participate in those last, loving moments with your friend. It was hard (for you, and them, too), but it was the right thing to do. We should all leave this world with those who mean the most to us right there at our side.

Edit: Maybe your grandfather needed you to be with him and be supportive of him in this painful hour.

He can't see his dog die. I have been with this dog since I was born. I am going to town tommorrow to the vet to have him put down. I dont think I can live with myself if I am the one to be in the room when he dies.

Your Grandmother must also love the dog as your Grandfather does. She probably asked you because she might have thought you would be good for moral support. It's not easy putting a dog down. You didn't do anything wrong.

i had to put down 2 of my dogs and my sister hit my last one with a car :(

Just remeber, you've done nothing to influence this dude, don't feel bad. I personally see it as quite a respectful thing to do; your grandma has chosen you because I'm sure she thinks that you'll bee able to provide her with the support she needs and vice versa.

All life has to come to an end at some point in time, and it's bloody sad when it does, but I'm sure you'll cope with it all, you've got your grandparents plus everyone here on VT :)

Thanks alot I am leaving at 10:00 Moutain Time

Well he was put down. I cant stop crying. We found out he had kidney failure.

[confusedand14]

I've seen people keep their dogs on meds for a long time on kidney failure, and the dog's look just miserable. It doesn't make it easier, but he is not suffering anymore either. Death unfortunately is one of life's few guarantees.

[STAYING_STRONG4HIM]

Trust me it was the right thing to do to put the dog down instead of letting it suffer. Watching the dog suffer would have hurt more. Just let yourself cry. It's okay to cry. The sooner you know that the better. I don't allow myself to cry sometimes when I really need to...and that is part of the reason that led me to cutting. So just let yourself cry. I'm here if you ever want to talk

Oh, I really do know how badly you feel here.

It takes time to heal from a deep loss, give yourself some time here to grieve. They lose their 'animalness' very quickly and just become something we love so much. It's that loss that hurts so much.

A good friend of mine calls me Yoda (I think as a compliment), esp. when I wax philosophic, but here goes: When we really love something they never really leave us. Sure, their physical form might change (and leave), but the feelings we had are always with us, so, in a way, they're eternal, even if we cannot see or touch them. It takes some time to adjust to the loss and the new way of 'reaching' that loved one, but if you try real hard, you'll see they're still there, inside.
