The dog I grew up with died today

No Drama. I am upset. He had multiple seizures today and I had to drive to the vet to meet my mom and my sister where he got put down. He was 17 and I knew this was coming long ago because he well outlived his life expectency, but today was the day. I'm not posting a picture because frick you. My mood is completely wrecked tho. I didn't know that the vets did it right in front of you. I've euthanatized tons of mice as part of my job, but I wasn't ready for this. I'd really rather they walk out and tell you when it's done. Feel free to dox your pets or whatever below.

Sorry bud. I was just thinking about my dear friend I put down around 3 years ago. The pain will be immense and long lasting, and to be honest, I don’t think you ever really recover. I think when you lose important people in your life you end up instead just living with grief as scar tissue.

I wish you courage on your journey of grief man. Nothing else for you to do but surrender to the pain and ride it.
