>>2356060
>it's ok that they're riddled with health and respiratory defects because they're cute
Faggot

>>2356060
Pugs are not cute.

>>2356061
The pug in OP's pic doesn't seem to have it much better. His eyes are less bulging, maybe.

You don't get over it.
Years later I see things in my periphery and reflexively think it's my cat only to remember she's gone.
But you still had years of good memories where you bettered each others lives. You're not replacing them because that's impossible. The goodbyes are hard but if you could go back would you choose never to have had them? Ask yourself what's stopping you.
You don't fully get over it but you don't forget the good memories you have. Use the grief to appreciate your new pets even more.

i put my 14-year old dog down in august. i had her since she was 3-months old. i got another dog two weeks later. it helped, i guess, but i still think of her and get sad every day.

time is really the only remedy. another pet can take your mind off the ones you lost and give you an outlet for your love, but it's not the same. try to focus on the good memories and not the end of your old pets' lives.

My dog is 8 years old and I still slip up and call her by the name of the dog I had before her.

I'm so sorry for the situation you're in, anon. Go with your instinct, watch him closely and judge whether or not you think he's in pain and/or gonna make it through this.

The worst thing possible for a pet owner is to stay in denial that their pet isn't in any kind of pain due to their own feelings and not wanting to let go.

I know you'll make the right choice, anon.

Sorry for you anon

My 8 year old cat died yesterday from a pancreas problem. I can't help you with your choice and I can't imagine how hard it must be, mine died in the clinic being treated but my pain is lessened knowing I did everything I could. I don't feel sad until I mention him, I just feel like there's a big hole in my life

She. She's an orchid mantis or hymenopus coronatus. I'm not OP, but I have three.


I also have two of these.

>>2355305
I'd almost suggest possibly being a horse fly but it's too blurry to see it's anatomy too well up close.

>war place between feather and scale nuts
never been to a dino thread, what do you mean?

>>2354854
Basically every dinosaur thread starts with some nice art and ends up as a discussion wether or not T. rex had feathers and how many dinosaurs actually had skin

>>2354855
That's ridiculous, everybody knows they had scales.

Dude I'm freaking out right now because I had roaches before and had to dish out 200 bucks to fix it. This definitely looks like a baby cockroach to me. But I'm not an animal scientist or anything. It was very small, like a few millimeters at best.

>>2353819
Pic too fuzzy... it could be a cockroach or a blobsquatch. Hard to say. Get CSI to enhance the picture.

Your dog is lucky then.

Both my childhood dogs died natural deaths and both of them yelped and howled for hours. The 14 year old lab had a visible tumor on his side but the 19 year old mutt had no obvious cause of death. One day he just couldn't stand up and wailed for hours before he stopped breathing.

It was pretty traumatic as a 12 year old kid with no previous experience with death.

The last burst of energy can be a normal thing for all dying animals, including humans

>>2353442
I've been there, buddy. While the other dogs had been euthanized, it took some emotional scarring growing up on my end and suffering on the dogs to get my parents to have them put down. I had to raise hell as a kid about it. My dad could seem to grasp the concept of "this needs medical attention" for his kids let alone dogs. I still can't feel anything in my right arm, went a few weeks with some minor fractures and had a blood transfusion when I was 13 because he wanted to 'wait and see if it stops bleeding'. Unrelated incidents. He also had five heart attacks and didn't see anyone about them until we called an ambulance much to his distain.

Their dogs only see a vet because I take them and pay for it.
