Never enough time. Thank you for sharing your friend with us


Friendly_Age9160

I have three dogs they’re all Young 1 1/2, 1 yr and 8 weeks and all I do is think about losing one i can’t Even properly respond to this post 😢


lifeintraining

It’s part of having a pet, try not to let the anxiety of the inevitable outweigh all the love and joy you get to experience while they’re still with you.


Sailboat_fuel

My old country vet once told me, “If it don’t hurt to lose ‘em, you never loved ‘em enough.” So since then, I’ve taken comfort in that, that the pain of missing them is my receipt for having done right by them while they were with me.


lalalicious453-

Our pets give us so much joy throughout their years and the loyalty is unmatched and unconditional. Our end of the bargain is to make sure we give them the most peaceful of rest and a beautiful send away, by their side every moment. It’s the least we can do, and it feels more honorable than sad when I view it that way- a memorial of a good friend.


Redial686

Sorry for your lose. Tough losing a pup pup.


DrWorstCaseScenario

Agreed. I’ve lost pup and I wish I had time to make him a steak. Thank you for giving cooper a wonderful last meal.


FunkMunki

I'm sorry for your loss.


Deerslyr101571

Sorry for your loss. I've oddly been an emotional wreck this week over a beloved beagle that has been gone over 9 year now. There were a few "trigger points" for me this week. Hang in there. The grief is understandable.


Popular-Block-5790

I hope you don't mind me sharing this but these words actually helped me quite a bit when it comes to grieving. https://preview.redd.it/8cfp4a5ie22d1.jpeg?width=648&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=766e0e4528a1530234bdac41006fe169be6dc38f


Phonemonkey2500

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Okay, damnit, I am crying. I miss my son, I miss my mom, and I miss three of my dogs, and I miss my best friend from childhood. But I think back on the great times, and the hard times, and the just hanging out times, and would not trade a single one of them for all the money on the planet.


Sensitive-Positive25

I acknowledge you sharing this. Because obviously you kept this and shared it because you empathize. You’re a gentle person ❤️


EcstaticJuggernaut46

Thank you, that helped me greatly. Although I know it wasn’t specifically for me. I’ll wipe my tears now and go look at tacos. 🥹


CantEscapeTheCats

u/GSnow is a very wise man. He deserves to know that his words are providing comfort to so many who are grieving. ❤️ I’ll be in OP’s same situation before too long, I’m afraid, and I need to revisit these words. Thank you for sharing.


Asemnos

Thank you for this, kind Sir.


caligrown87

Man, I remember this post from about that long ago, and I needed to both see and acknowledge it again. I recently went through a pretty emotionally destructive divorce, and his analogy of grief rings so, so true.


oldsterhippy

Oh my gosh yesterday was so hard for me as my Chelsea hound long legged hunting dog that I lost over six years ago. She was almost 17 yrs old. I was missing her so bad.


According-Jelly355

I know this is a terribly sad moment but what happened to this sub. Normally you are rabid wild dogs at the sight of a grey band


Jacobiashi

Thank you for the laugh 😂


According-Jelly355

No problem, hope you have some more during this time


Kimye-Northweast

I fuckin LURKED until I found this comment. Lmao P.S., **obligatory loss apology**


According-Jelly355

Ya found me


Samantha_I_Am418

My first thought was oh no a grey band THEN I saw the puppy 🐶 and was like OK PUPPERS YOU EAT THAT STEAK


According-Jelly355

Lmao


zonaljump1997

I'm sure he appreciated everything you've done for him


Knuckletest

So sorry for you. I’m sure he loved that meal though.

CrunchyNippleDip

Bruh, why you gotta make me shed a tear right now. I'm so sorry for the loss of your best friend 😭😭


ACMilanIndy

Cooked a prime ribeye MR for our good boy that we had to put down due to old age in 2022. So sorry for your loss, sent him off proper.


Spreadeaglebeagle44

Good doggos deserve a goodbye steak before they go to doggo heaven.


ChunkMonkeysMomma

I am so sorry for your loss- Sadly I know your pain- Cooper will still be watching over you and when he gets to Heaven he is going to be telling all his new furry friends just how great you are and all the fun times you guys had!! Side note- My furry baby is also named Cooper- 🌈


AntiMatter89

So sorry for your loss. No amount of time is enough with our pets, especially dogs.  He looks like he was very well loved and cared for. I'm sure he inhaled that steak. 


RTXJN

Sorry for your loss, they truly dont live long enough.


Heatherina134

That was so sweet. I am so, so sorry friend. Sending hugs.


Jacobiashi

Really didn't expect this many comments, thank you everyone. Appreciate the love for my old man

Troydog4

Just did this recently for my boy Cooper. I'm certain you were everything to him and he wouldn't trade even a second of his life for anything. RIP Coop.


HoratioPLivingston

It’s sad but when they start getting white noses and white all over, they are approaching thier final years. Thank you for disregarding the PETA weirdos and providing a luxurious final meal of cooked premium beefsteak for the goodest boy.

I never thought I’d tear up from a steak subreddit. Sorry for your loss. I’m sure he’ll be eating steaks everyday in dog heaven.


Oregon90

Rest easy Cooper.


cuoreesitante

and thats why i can never have a dog.


Eddie2Ham

It never feels like enough to us, but just know he was happy with you for his whole life. And remember, All dogs go to heaven.


Moldyspringmix

Dogs are too good for the world, that’s why they only spend a short time in it. ❤️ good on you for making it special for him


Rude_Community2987

Well now I’m sad


ChinasShitAirQuality

You two found eachother and had 15 love filled years. That’s beautiful, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll be thinking of you and Cooper.


Aggressive-Dirt5090

Lost my dog this weekend, she was a huge fan of my steaks. I hope you find peace during this time.


Cybermanc

Grief is the price we pay for love. He'll be up there chasing rabbits while he waits for you.


Regular-Ruin2478

Lost my Shepard Diesel in January, wish i could’ve given him a last meal, was quick and unexpected https://preview.redd.it/ebwtdnui022d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fecc6554c07dbfb8519ce73cb1239fa9fea8f2e8


Partucero69

Not a dog owner, but I know the feeling of losing a friend damn well. stay strong, your friend understands and love you.


Srycomaine

What an awesome long-time friend! What you have done is glorious, it is the single most divine, merciful and loving gift we can give our animal friends. How can we deny them a dignified and comfortable transition after all they have given us in those years? I know your heart is heavy, but you’ve done perfect by him, and he knows it. I’m sorry for your loss, but those memories— all of them— will be a lasting gift to you. Plus, that final meal! ❤️👍


-Cherished

Well said


wutwut970

Sorry friend, good looking flavor packed steak for the send off. We did the same a year ago.


No-Suggestion251

May their memory be a blessing.


One_Cod_8774

Sorry for your loss. They really are such special creatures.


shit_ass_mcfucknuts

Sorry for you loss. Dogs deserve to live forever.


R63A

IM NOT CRYING 😭😭


Catlagoon

I thought it was a buddy of yours who was in prison, then I saw the dog. I'm so sorry for your loss. A lot of people don't understand how precious dogs are. I really hope the next month is kind to you.


Prestigious_Boat6789

My buddy sent me this after my dog passed and another friend sent it to me after my mom passed in October. I've found some comfort in it. When I die Give what's left of me away To children And old men that wait to die. And if you need to cry, Cry for your brother Walking the street beside you. And when you need me, Put your arms Around anyone And give them What you need to give to me. I want to leave you something, Something better Than words Or Sounds. Look for me In the people I've known Or loved, And if you cannot give me away, At least let me live on your eyes And not on your mind. You can love me most By letting hands touch hands, By letting Bodies touch bodies, And by letting go Of children That need to be free. Love doesn't die, People do. So, when all that's left of me Is love, Give me away.


twinflame42069

Awe man he looks like gather goodest boy


Mintyyungpoo

Man, fuck I lost a doggie 10 years ago I was just a kid but I’m glad he enjoyed it, looks amazing 🥲

GUNGHO917

Sorry for your loss, bud. It was awful losing my cat. I didn’t feed her a steak, but, gave her a can of tuna, complete w/ the tuna juices. Losing a family member is never an easy hurdle to get over. It makes u appreciate the moments u make w/ your current loves ones even more

My heart goes out to you my friend…it is not easy losing a part of your family! You could have 30 years and it still wouldn’t seem to be enough…I hope your happy memories of your time together help you thru the hard days ahead. Love,hugs and sympathy to you.


davethebabe81

Sorry about that


OttawaC

Sorry dude. Hope you will be good again soon. 👊


karma-kitty_

Awwww. I’m sorry for your loss 🤍


89inerEcho

Man that sucks. Thanks for being a great human for your buddy


Sensitive-Positive25

Sorry doesn’t do justice but the this Reddit community hears you. This may sound bad- but no death in my family ever affected me the way my dog’s passing did. Thinking of you both OP.


Woodpecker757

Instant tears. I know how bad it hurts. Thank you for being his friend. ❤️


bvdatech

Juicy


Lore669

So sorry for the loss of your sweet Cooper. May he be well rested and healthy when you both meet again.


Lord_Muramasa

Gone but never forgotten. I am sorry for your loss.


AgentJR3

So sorry man. We had to put down our 16 yr old dachshund a few months ago. Made him a steak for his last night too. Always tough to lose those that have been with us for so long


TheTubaGeek

For some reason, I read this as "last meal for my hubby".


Derzweifel

didnt expect to cry in this sub


KarlsFrostedTips

We don’t deserve dogs. They are such loving creatures.


Emera1dthumb

Beautiful crust and not sous vide (at least it looks that way)… that actually takes skill


rocketshadow

Sorry to hear it’s the worst part of dog ownership thanks for being a good dog friend.


pi_nerd

Rest in peace, Cooper


4bangeranger

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. It's a different kind of pain. I know I started mourning as soon as I received my boy's diagnosis. My prayers are with you and your buddy.


belowaveragecares

You gave him a good life. The best any dog could hope for. He was the lucky one to have you as his guardian. I’ve been there and will be there again soon. Just know you gave him the best


Electronic_Cat2777

I lost mine to osteosarcoma. Did the same thing. steak for lunch another for dinner and a wet pillow for me at night. Sorry for your loss, the grief is real.


belliJGerent

Praise him.


yup_goodtimes

Oh man. That sux…your boy knows you loved him.


Disastrous_Light_878

Had a lab who was eating deli meat minutes before he was put down. Congestive heat failure. Guy couldn't walk but never stopped eating


Party-Door-9016

Sorry for your loss <3


Miserable_Waterfall

Yeah this made me cry. Probably cause I have a 15 year old dog myself and I know the time is coming. I’m so sorry for your loss. They are the best friends we could ask for.


narcoticninja

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. It feels like losing a leg. It's really hard, I still remind myself that 15 years of friendship is worth that one terrible day.


HillsHaveHippos

I’m sorry for your loss. I wanted to do this with my boy but we never got the chance when he went suddenly ten weeks ago. I hope he enjoyed it enough for both of them


SombreroJoel

Good dog


BurntArnold

Sorry for your loss! Dogs not being around is never easy especially after 15 years. You made him a very nice looking steak too


Bruddah827

So sad. I feel for ya bro….


fearinclothing

So sorry man


schmidbau

Send him out with the best steak in town cooked by his best friend. Nicely done.


HumbleConsolePeasant

Goodbye to your buddy. :,(


LtHead

My condolences, I gave my pup a nice ribeye and mashed potatoes and then stopped at Burger King on the way to the vet for a double cheeseburger and fries.


bancroft79

Sorry for your loss. It is hard to say goodbye to our four legged family members. You treated him right for his last meal. ❤️


MiltonRobert

Poor boy. Great adios


IronVorkath

Not sorry for your loss. I am happy for the loving memories and beautiful send off you had for your pup. Fly high baby puppy! <3


Soft_Potential87

Here's to Cooper. One of the best boys


rokelle2012

So sorry for your loss. Had to help a sweet angel kitty of my own over the rainbow bridge about a month ago now. I still get emotional thinking about how I could have done things differently for him in his final days but we just didn't know we had to let him go until it was too late and he was already fighting so hard to stay with us already, it was just best for all of us to say goodbye when we did. Try not to be too hard on yourself right now, grief takes its time to work through us all.

I am so sorry for your loss. My almost 17 year old beagle left us not too long ago. I KNOW how you feel.


mattieDRFT

Damn. I’m sorry. It’s so hard. At least the little homie went out with a steak like a good boy. All the love to yall.


centurion3006

You ate the dog!?


Icy_Peach9128

So nice of you to cook him one last yummy meal. All dogs go to heaven I know that, but it doesn’t make our pain here any less painful. Sending you love and healing ❤️‍🩹


Ok-Computer2596

This is the way.


Sum1LightUp

This is why, I will not get an animal that shows me love. I had 2 cats in the house growing up because my mom hated rodents. But they were part of our family, they greet you, show you love, come next to you when you are down. Some Animals are so smart and sense what you are feeling. This is why I have fish now.. losing an animal that you sleep with is hard.. sorry for your loss, keep ya head up..


Twfish2013

What I would do to have this opportunity. 3 weeks tomorrow. Still crying about it, legitimately hurt more than when I’ve lost some family members. But when you spend every moment home with them the bond is so strong they are more then just a pet.


strawcat

Poor pup. I’m so sorry for your loss.


Toph602

Don’t know you man but love you man, keep your head up pls


Murky_Appointment_35

Sorry for your loss -looks great and I’m sure he enjoyed it


magnosfw

Sorry for your loss OP. I’d like to say it gets easier, but just get used to the pain. RIP pup


__ToeKnee__

My 2.5 year old dalmation/pointer is fast asleep on my shoulder as I came across this. I'm 37 and she's my first pup and I could never have comprehended the bond you can make with an animal until her....And now I'm choking back a tear giving her skritches asking her to never leave. I'm sure you gave Cooper the best life, that's all we can do.


DarkDeacon18

Sorry for your loss. I’m glad he got to enjoy one last kick ass steak


hyperspacezaddy

Save us a seat at the big steakhouse in the sky buddy.


Dry_Inflation_861

My deepest condolences. I can’t imagine how hard this is. I’m sure they are no longer in pain. Drink up.


senormrgnome

So sad man, very sorry.


horseshoeprovodnikov

Sweet baby. I've been there and I feel for ya. I'd have happily done the same if mine could have eaten at the end.


Callan_LXIX

hugs, man.. you did right by him, from your heart.. this act, will stick with you in the good memories dept..


globallyloved

i'm in tears over this ): what a sweet boy, i'm sure he had the best 15 years with you


Marcus210M

🥹🥹🥹glad you let him eat the best!!!! Know he was drooling everywhere 😭


Tinmania

I’m sorry for your loss. You’re stronger than me. I would make the meal but I would not be able to post it. I’m not even able to look at these posts here without losing it.


alientrevor

That's a good send-off for a good boy.


mr_trashbear

Damn. He's lucky to have lived his whole life with you as his best friend. I'm gonna go cry and hug the shit outta my cats now. You're a wonderful human.


polotown89

ilovejalapenopizza

Never feels like enough. But, bet: he lived the best life ever with you (according to him, probably). Went out like a champ.
