It's just a dog.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Thanks mags. As Bmills said, I hate this thread.

However as stupid as it sounds, I find the support here is pretty awesome.

Harry‐ appreciate the words. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dogs. Hope to hook up for some musky(ie) fishing in your parts or trout weenie shit round here.

Wally, 14, is currently in surgery. I came home just after 1pm and he couldn't stand up. Tumor on his spleen ruptured and it's a good thing I don't have some stupid 8 to 5 or he would have bled out on the floor.
Unknown yet if malignant or what else. I wish there was a bar near this vet's office.

Hoping for the best. Milo turned 14 today. Not sure how much he's got left.

+++vibes for Wally+++

stuck., he's going to need you tomorrow and moving forward...

hang-in, stuck. skiJ

[stuckathuntermtn]

Thank you guys. He's not gonna be coming home. His body is full of tumors that will hemorrhage again soon. We're having a last snuggle while I try to come to grips with it. Fuck. I wasn't ready to say good bye. Not yet. Not like this.

[liv2ski]

Fuck, I am so sorry to hear that. Vibes Stuck

[stuckathuntermtn]

Thanks, it means a lot.
I can't get over the fact that Wally was the one steady thing I had in my life for the past 14 years, and I just killed him. Held him while his heart stopped. It wasn't supposed to end like this.
I got him almost as soon as I moved to Missoula, and he was the first dog I ever had on my own. I got him and soon learned my dad had to put the family dog down. The dog I started the Doggy Stoke thread for.
He was my one true friend who I could always count on. Who only needed 1 thing in his life and it was me. He was my buddy. My faithful companion. And now he's gone. I never did find him a good mom, either, and in the end it's just a giant, vacuous loneliness. And guilt. I feel guilty. I hope that if there's some other plane where we meet again that he can forgive me.
On top of the fact that the 31st is the anniversary of my brother's death, I just don't know how much more I can take and I don't seem to have anyone right now to really be there for me.
My dad was already scheduled to get in on Monday night for a week's visit, so I guess I'll just have to tough it out till then.
Till we meet again, buddy. You were always Marcellus Wallace; big and black and not a bitch.

[skiJ]

Awww, F., stuck-

my Condolences.

hey - You gave him a humane end.
the cancer ended his life, Not you.

I've been close to where you are /
I know that Pain.

Thank You for being Wally's companion.

find your way through, stuck-

my Condolences.
With love

regarding the next 'plane' -
If my dogs are not there, my faith will have been False. and

easing his crossing does Not need forgiving.

[JimmyCarter]

Sorry Stuck, we just went through the same situation - we caught the spleen mass but then found ourselves up against two very aggressive cancers. Eventually he let us know it was time to go.

And know you did the best thing possible for him in that situation and he loves you for it.

[Supermoon]

Fuck. So sorry Stuck. The toughest decision you ever have to make, but you did the right thing. Wally knows that, too. You were there for him for 14 years and you were there for him at the end.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Thank you

[John_B]

Stuck, remember that all the way through his life you did right by him including today. Sorry man, I teared up thinking about Wally and I never even met him.

[mcski]

Man that sucks. But at least you were with him at the end. That’s good

[lifelinksplit]

Stuck- that sucks man. After putting the old husky down I got to puppy sit a buddies bernese and watching Walter and him go crazy distracted me. And then yesterday would've been my dad's bday but he passed 2yrs back. Shit is tough. Let Montana distract you.

So sorry Stuck. What an amazing life you gave him man, and Wally was a very lucky dog indeed. You were the best dad he could have hoped for and it seems that Wally could not have done better with any other partner in life than you buddy. Thinking about you and Wally, hugs brother.

Forgive you for what? Sounds like he died of old age. 14 years is a long time for a dog, whether you catch anything in time or not is irrelevant. The suddenness def sucks though, sorry.

My heart goes out to you and Wally Stuck. I hate that your time together did not end on the terms you had hoped, it so rarely is. In time I hope you can appreciate how great it was to have 14 years with a loyal friend; that is an incredible gift.

[Dantheman]

Sorry, Stuck

RIP Marcellus Wallace

[axebiker]

To all the "Best boys/girls/buddies/hiking/hunting/snuggling pals" out there and no longer out there, here's to you, and the humans that loved you so much... Cheers! Love/hate this thread, but it's ALWAYS worth the visit.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Everything is dull now. Nothing is vivid.
You know what was bright? His eyes. Even afterwards, they still had that brightness of life in them. I don't understand why anyone anybody anything with that much life in their eyes should have to be put down.
And the scary thing, or maybe not so much, is I kinda wish that when the vet stopped his heart that she did the same to me.

Don't worry, I wouldn't do that to my parents. They already lost the other one. But it's how I feel.

[Supermoon]

I can’t imagine what you’re going through right now. Just thinking about the day I’m going to have to make this decision for my pup almost breaks me. It’s one of the shittiest parts of responsibility we take on when we bring them into our lives and into our hearts.

But one day soon you’ll be able think back on your time with him and remember the happy times and all the joy he brought to you, and you to him. Until then, stay strong. You got this.

[skiJ]
