Lost my best friend today. It all happened so fast. Within a week everything turned upside down. Only six years old. Doctor said it was cancer and there was nothing we could do. She was surrounded by me, my wife and kids as she went to heaven.

One of the hardest days of my life. Absolutely crushed. I will miss you forever Marley. I am so lucky that you came into my life. Love you. 💔

What a beautiful dog Shintooo. I'm glad you and your family got to be with Marley at her crossing over. I'm very sorry for your loss. We went through the same exact scenario a couple years ago.

So sorry for your loss. I have never been able to deal very well when one of my pups go.

Really sorry Shin. I agree that this is one of the emotionally hardest things that you have to do.

Awe man, so sorry.

What helped me was to think of all the goofy, funny, and great times we had with ours. Those are forever memories - and know that Marley had a great life with your family and was a happy dog. Good positive thoughts helped get me through it - and I've even caught myself laughing for no other reason than just thinking about it.

You guys gave her a great life. Always tough to say good bye and especially so for a pup that seemed to have many more years.

Condolences to all of you

RIP Marley

That sucks man, I feel for you - the hardest thing I’ve had to do was put our boxer down when she had pancreatitis from cancer. And I still can’t read that Rainbow Bridge poem without welling up.

Rest in peace Marley, the pain is over.
Shin - I’m sorry for your family’s loss.

So sorry...

I don't know what it is about dogs but loosing one hurts more than can be explained. I said never again after we lost our boston terrier and 3 years later my wife tricked me into another one that's awesome and brings a ton of joy and life to the household.

I swear this is the last one they are such a pita...lol

I'm so sorry. Sudden illness and death of a beloved pet is much more difficult to bear than advanced age infirmities and a planned merciful euthanization.

In 2016 our orange tabby BOC (an acronym for Bad Orange Cat) had rapid onset kidney failure and we had to put him down within 36 hours of discovering he was ill. He was just five years old. BOC was a beautiful and smart kitty, his misbehaving adventures were hilarious, and it was devastating to lose him in that manner. I'm sure you're suffering in the same way we were, and I send my condolences.

Just got a FB memory today, guy we got on Riverdave’s over 13 years ago, he has been gone 2 years and we still miss him dearly. Sorry for your loss shintooo. We always took a Christmas pic with him down at seal beach pier next to big tree they put up.

This saddens me to hear. Knowing you as well as I do, I know your dogs are a big part of your family. It’s never easy losing a family member and nothing I can say or do will ease the hurt you have in your hearts. Her memory will live with you forever and she will always own a piece of your hearts and in time that feeling you’re feeling in your gut right now will eventually go away with time.
Rest Easy Marley, you deserve it.

I'm so sorry. It seems like their cycle of life is so short compared to ours. For us, it hurts to lose our pets, they try so hard to love us without asking for much in return. It seems to hurt more then when humans pass on, it's the un-conditional love and trust they have for us. Your will never forget them but one day you will get another and the cycle starts again.

Damn Shin.
I feel for you and your family.
You were blessed for 6 years so was she. She is looking down tonight on you guys. With love ❤️
I know it doesn’t seem this way now but it sounds like you did the right thing in helping her move on. No more pain
One of the hardest thing we have to do as well
Had the whole family home to send ours on to be in peace.

My thoughts are with you all.

So sorry to read this, when I lost my boy, I had no idea anything could hit me so hard. I feel shame saying it emotionally hurt more than losing family members. I used to feel terrible guilt about that, but its not that they meant more or something...... its just the sneak attack on emotions and vulnerability to them. What I am saying is its normal in its way. No one ever knows what to write at these times, but the only thing that has ever given me comfort is this:

Your dog hit the dog lottery getting you and your family to love them their whole life. Just remind yourself that Marley had the best life possible for 100% of the time. Very few are so fortunate. Be grateful, be proud, all your work and income, family and love, children, everything, all made that world possible for Marley. So sorry Shintoooo
