I don’t want to say goodbye.
All dogs are the best dogs. Mine is no different. This is my old man. 16 years young - alomost 17. Best babes I could ever have. In fact he has been there for my wild and crazy ass in my 20’s. My wtf 30’s and now a few months shy of turning 40. I want him so badly to be there on my birthday, so selfish am I. Yet this is his time and I shall always be there for him, loving him the best I can. Until it’s time to say goodbye. Which am not ready for and terrified to do. Found him in the steets in the worst part of San Diego. Discarded, dirty and fur severely matted. But as he saw me, standing from the middle of the street ... and we locked eyes, he knew he found his forever human. Call him Hugh Hefner or Don Juan, this fur babes had four females, different breeds and sizes, ages too. All to himself. Being all rescues of course. Oh did he love being around them all so much. Not to mention 😏he loved all the attention he could get from the females too. This little charming canine of mine - he will always shine. A million stories I can brag and mention about him. But this post is for Ziggy. To celebrate who he has been, who he forever shall be, and still is to me. Barking at puppies now and kids too - get off my yard grump of a fur babe he is. Finding every opportunity for treats he knows we can’t deny him. Running and poking us with hits of his nose for pets. His sighs and gasps of rusty rasps he tries to communicate his displeasure or excitement at hand. Walking slower now but still giving us little jumps and hops, gifts of love with his greetings at the door. His bark is much more weaker now ... yet he still is a devoted protector. Now drugged up and annoyed of all the endlessly hugs and kisses I can’t seem to give him enough of. I write this as I let him rest and have a break from me. Now it’s time, back to the endless loving and appreciation- the flood of tears I can’t hold back - am happy he endures my ugly cries, my tears all over him, as he looks into my eyes and snuggles deeper in my arms again. I love you Ziggy - please give me more time No matter what - everyone now knows you always have been and always will be the Bestest Dog (edited)

That's the best you can do for your fur baby, be there for him now that he needs you. No one who has a dog and really loves them wants to go through this. Mine is 10yrs and I am starting to see how his level of activity is slowing down a bit. Wished dogs lived forever but I know they can't so I always hope that when my dog crosses the other side he does it without pain and suffering while in his sleep.

I wish dogs had a life expectancy akin to sea turtles. My best ever was a pug and she made it to 15. She was kind of declining and I remember getting a call from work that she wasn't doing well. I was working at a vet clinic at the time so they were super understanding. I went home and cuddled with her for the rest of the day and fell asleep. She was gone the next morning. This was Christmas eve of 99 I still miss the cranky old girl. I am sorry you're having to go through this.

My 16 year old dog passed away last Friday.
I adopted her when she was 1.5 years old and I had my first "Big Girl" job. Trying to find another 4legged compatriot is exhausting and not helping with the grieving process at all.
