I haven’t lost my good boy yet, but every time I even think about it, i can’t help but break down in tears. He’s my family member and I raised him and saw him grow up in front of my very eyes and I don’t think I’ll truly ever be ready for that day
@@danieleaston723 put that at 100 thousand plus never cried harder then when my dog died. Lost family, friends still young and nothing compares to losing a dog, I’m way more scared dying not seeing Belle again such a sweetheart
I feel like it's comforting to some men. To see 2 alpha males cry over a pet. It's not something often seen in media. And honestly to some people it's frowned upon. I literally balled my eyes out for days when my rabbit of 10 years passed away. I've been told that i need to man up it's just a rabbit. But see these two cry. Makes me cry. Cause we all share the same feelings for our companions
@@thentantt hi I just lost my rabbit a few days ago and I feel your pain. I find myself thinking I’m hearing or seeing him in the corner of my eye and it’s like a tidal wave of sadness hits every time. I found my rabbit in the street and he brought so much joy to my life, I’m sure your rabbit loved you and was grateful for such a caring owner.
@@Tyborz well for the dogs you right but i do beleive my cat loves me he doesnt let anyone pet him or kiss or lays in bed with no one besides me so let me think that :D excuse my english btw
I held my boy when he had to get put down. Was 16, but was developing a really bad osteosarcoma in his leg.. Think of myself as a pretty tough dude. I cried like a child saying goodbye to him. Held him in my arms and pet him as he slipped away. I just said "I'll see you later buddy." And was able to walk to my truck and bawled when I got in. Snot bubbles and all. Tearing up just writing this. Miss you Charlie. I'll be with you in a bit, buddy-doo.
@@burpostockings I just put my girl of 9 years down yesterday, man i cried like a bitch still am as Im writing this. I see her everywhere, can't even get up this morning without crying right away. Her bed, this house everything feels so empty without her. I will never get over this man. I miss you Xena
Sorry for your loss. Im in the same boat I said goodbye to Scooby who was 12 yesterday due to cancer and I know he was in pain but god part of me did not want to take him to the vet which is selfish to say but I’ll miss him so much he was my best friend
I know Im going to get a lot of shit for this but... Im gonna say it anyway. Why the fuck put down the dog??? Do you put down your grandma, grandad or whatever? It just seems wrong. Animals want to live as long as possible. Did your dog say to you 'Please kill me'. So it did not.
@Lawn Mower So you're saying you had a pet, and you didn't cry over their death but did cry over people you know dying? or are you saying you never had an animal companion because you never really cared much for animals, which is why, as a consequence of never owning a pet, you never cried over the death of one? Both are different. One makes you kind of an asshole, the other makes your comment irrelevant.
@Lawn Mower no one here said anything about valuing lives of yohr pets over human lives.. the comment said "real men cry over animals and people" although i dont really understand what masculinity has to do with it but whateber, to which you said "for people. Not animals in my case" And now you say you have cried over animals but you just care about humans more. Okay buddy thanks for the information but no one really implied they didn't do the same. So when I say I hope you get better, I mean I hope you get better.
I lost Kujo yesterday. He was my best friend. A 13.5 year old borador. The world's greatest dog my heart is breaking. Feeling for everyone who goes through this.
Reminds me to hold my own Cujo close.. (He is a half Corgi, half Dachshund) Edit (1 month later): As of this edit, I have lost my own Cujo to Parvo and feel your pain brother...may our good boys rest easy..
I'll never forgive myself for not being there when my dog was put down. He was so old and in pain, he was about 14. I hadn't lived a day in my life without this dog. I was 14 as well, we grew up together. And when he was in pain and leaving this world, I wasn't there for him. I just told him I loved him with all my heart and let my dad take him to the vet. Here's to Smash the Pug. A good boy I will never forget.
The day my dog passed away I was in the shower and she starts scratching and crying at the door so loud I had to get out and see what was up, it's like she knew it was her last day and she just wanted to be with me as long as she could. I held her in my arms until her last breath, she didn't cry or weap. She went so peacefully because I was able to hold her and keep her comfortable. It blows my mind the connection dogs have with us, all they know is love
Mine passed away 4 days ago. I had 14.5 great years with him. I woke up that day and he didn’t even have energy to stand up. I picked him up to take him to the emergency vet and he died in my arms as I was walking out the door. I felt his last heartbeat. I miss him so much.
@@marktwane6195 sort of. What tends to happen is both play off of eachother. Is this rehearsed? Most likely not. The conversation tends to evolve. Joe hears something interesting then he probes. Kevin does it as well and from there. They find a golden spot. Something they both lived through or have interesting thoughts about. And interview is more or less a Q&A.
My dog died 2 years ago. His name was Solo. He was 145 lbs and 7 years old. I was a wreck throughout his life. I drank all the time and complained constantly. I was sad and miserable but Solo always was happy to see me and love me regardless. I was at a bar one night with a friend and my wife called and said he overate. She couldn't get him in the car bc he was too big for her to handle. I didn't know the severity of big dogs overeating so I stayed at the bar for a few more hours. My wife sent me a picture of him waiting at the door. That picture breaks my heart to this day. He knew he was dying and just wanted to see me. I finally get there and he had blown up like a balloon. I took him to the car and sat in the backseat while my wife drove us to the vet. I could tell he was dying and I cried the whole way there. They put him down and 3 of the vets were crying. I sat with him after that for probably 2 hours just ashamed and feeling like a waste of a human. I quit drinking that night. I'm now 2 years sober. I named my channel after him. He would of given his life if he knew I would be well again. He's my angel and I miss him dearly.
So sorry for your loss. Hang in there. And good job changing your life. I know how hard it can hit. My little bro cat, a beautiful maine coon boy, passed away in 2017. I still miss him to this day, and its extremely hard to talk about him. Before he passed, he was also waiting for us to get home, cause only my mother was with him on that day. He couldnt move anymore, had serious kidney issues, but at least he still met my father. He meowed one last time at him, and decided to go. My father also loved him so much. I only saw my dad cry once in my life, and this was the time.
@SocratesinaG6 Thankyou for that. About a year and a half after he passed, which was August of 22, a dog showed up at our house. He wasn't as big as Solo, but close. It sounds weird saying this, but it felt like Solo in a new body. He had Solo's presence. The only two things I ever taught Solo was sit and shake. I could get him to do it without saying it with just a hand gesture. Well, I thought I would try it on this new dog and sure enough I said "sit" and he sat, then "shake" and he shook my hand. I even gave him the hand signal to sit without saying it and he did it. I tried a bunch of other things like stay and go and down and he knew none of them. Gave me goosebumps. We still got him. Nobody claimed him. It's been 2 years since he showed up. I thought Duo was a fitting name. The timing for him to show up at our house was just perfect too. I had grieved over Solo enough and was moving on. He's such a kind dog, just like Solo. Everybody loves him.
I just lost my right hand man yesterday and I’ve never felt this much pain , he was my best friend since I was 14 (I’m 23 now ), when my parents divorced he would come with me everywhere till the day he died , I miss him so much I cry whenever I think about how many times he saved me from causing harm to myself or others , dogs are truly a mans best friend R.I.P Bruno Edit : hey thank you guys. I would have never guessed I would get the most support from a RUclips comment , again thanks for having my back♥️
Oh man it took me months to get over it. Dogs are such a huge part of us. The best thing I could do was telling myself that I should be happy for all the years I got to share with my best friend, and that I should be proud of the life we gave him. I'm sure your Bruno was the happiest dog ever and loved life, always remember that. Bruno is forever grateful for the life you gave him.
“Dogs don’t have to live as long because they don’t have to learn all the lesson that humans have to. They already know how to be good so they don’t have to stick around as long as we do”. I remember reading that from a little boy that gave his take on putting his dog down. Always stuck with me
I just think it's a good thing they don't live too long because imagine if a dog is raised in a abusive home, then what? Has to live the rest of their live for 30 or 50 years in pain? It's a good thing they don't live that long.
My dog is 13 coming up on 14 , eyes getting cloudier , breathing heavier , grunts when he sits , it breaks my heart seeing my bestfriend get older and older by the day , yet he still has the puppy in him , he’s still a bozo always trying to wrestle . This clip really hit me in the feels . I’m not ready to lose my pup
A bit of advice from someone who has gone through this before. Don't let your dog start to suffer.. First, it's not fair to him, but also you'll never forgive yourself. I've been there. Also, when you say goodbye, make sure he knows you're there, holding him and talking to him. It's hard, but you want his final thoughts to be of you and he together..
@@liamnissanS2K just lost my dog sunday. we used to walk (feels so fucked up saying used to) all the woods paths and hills and schools i used to go to in my town. i keep having these like anime flashbacks of us walking all these areas with huge glorious sunsets behind us. the feeling and beautify of such an image is just so sharp.
he will watch over you and protect you forever. i feel for you and know, that you have a best friend for life, in this AND the next, you best believe that!
This one hit real close to home. I won't bore anyone in the comments with my sob story about my dog, but anyone who has been through it gets it. There's a special bond there between us and our pets, man. It's undeniable.
My dog helped me get over the lowest point of my life, I was lost, the girl I was going to marry had a double life. And my husky saved my life. She died of a stroke at only 4 years old. Its like she came into my life when I needed her and she left as soon as my mental health was back to normal. God I loved her. Wish I could say thank you for everything she did for me.
Same man, I haven’t had my baby for long, he wasnt a fully year old yet. But as soon as my mental health was getting at a great place, my dog is gone. I believe he was an angel sent above. He bright so much joy to others, everyone adored him. He was the puppy whisperer at school, he is such an angel
Same, dude. Supposed to get engaged. Found out he was cheating. All i did for weeks was stay in bed. My dog stayed with me. Every second. They are important
@@rickDArula legends always die first man. I don't believe in heaven or religion but I believe there is something beautiful waiting for us over the horizon. And the greatest people always get the first invite.
It hurts so bad today I lost my eldest pooch and I have been in tears all day, just the thought that I’ll never get to see her again in my living life is killing me, but now she is hopefully in a better place having the time of her life
@@j.a.miracle5081 i feel for the both of you. My golden retriever had to be put down due to have liver cancer. He was 7 years old and we had him since he was only a few months. I miss my little buddy
@@jmsolano0516 we have a Labrador retriever and we had him since he was a few months too, one day he started limping and we went to the vets so many times and he just kept getting worse everyday, now he’s basically paralysed and is in pain, I’m here crying at 5:30am knowing this will be the last day I have with him. He’s my best friend and I love him so much.
I found out today my boy has cancer in his nose, and pretty soon, he won’t be able to breathe through his nose. They gave him 2-3 months, maybe. He was a healthy, happy dog just two weeks ago. I woke up one morning and there was a growth in his nostril. That’s how fast you can lose the most important and best friend in your life. I’m making him a bucket list, and although I am completely destroyed, I can’t let him go out seeing me be utterly miserable. I have stopped crying, and began making him as happy as possible. I’m glad I have the couple months. I rescued him on day 10, he was next up to be put down. 9 years later, I have realized that he saved my life from terrible addictions and family loss. I’m still here, because of him.
So very sorry.. I feel your pain. Had to let my dog go 7 weeks ago due to mouth cancer and it still hurts like hell. Cherish every second.. know that you gave him a great life and he loves you for it.
I'm sitting here with my dogs who are 9 and 11. I've been dreading them dying since the day I fell in love with them. I didn't know I would love them so much. At this point I'm just glad they didn't die young. I had a few scares and would have been devastated if they didn't make it into old age. I'm glad you had a few months warning to spend with your dog and I hope you are doing okay.
Lost my best friend, guardian angel, today and had to watch this again. He was a Boxer and he was 14 years old. We knew it was the right time for him to go, but this hurts more than anything I've ever felt before.
Same boat my friend, my boy was 13. You did the right thing, animals don’t deserve to suffer to spare our feelings. It’s unfair to them. You’re a good owner.
@@jordanjamison9235 Really appreciate your kinds words man. I'm sorry for your loss as well. Hope your dog went in the most peaceful way possible, just like mine did.
Man RIP to your good boy 😢 , I also have a boxer, boxer lab mix and she is the sweetest girl, out of all my dogs she is the sweetest, she is the most calm when it comes to visitors, she usually recognizes them unlike my other dogs that take a minute to recognize them lol, she is so sweet. But if there’s a stranger she doesn’t that wants to invade my house, she would be the dog that rips them a new one lol, she is still a boxer and a savage lol
My boxer Winston was also 13 before Christmas when he past, they are part of the family its heart breaking, yours did amazing to get to 14 thats a great age!
It honestly feels like I’m lost and that I feel so incomplete
4 года назад+6
even tho i know the most likely outcome of death is absolutely nothing, part of me hopes for something that lets me see the dogs i’ve lost one more time and pet them and watch them run like they did before they got too old.
My boy died last week. Since then I've cried myself to sleep every night, and have had dreams of petting and hugging him, I even wake up with dried tears on my cheeks. I know things will get better, but oh my God, it's heartbreaking. And right before Christmas.
I'm sorry and I feel your pain I just lost my dog Zeuss 4 hours ago I spent all day yesterday and all night with him I live alone and I work alone I lost my shadow I know how you feel it fucking sucks my pets are my family 😞😭I love you zuess
@@khaibinns6349 i just put my pup of 7 years down about 3 hours ago. Hardest thing I ever did in my life and I couldnt stop crying. But a few hours later a strange sense of relief came over me knowing my boy wasnt in pain anymore. But its not easy to deal with at all. I hope you and your pup enjoy the time yall have left together. But yea, its hard to let go. Good luck.
My doberman Black died a little more than one month ago at 8 years old of heart failure while playing with him. Best friend I ever had, i enjoyed every moment of these 8 wonderful years with him. I am sorry for Errol man, i understand the pain; he must have been a good boy
Sorry for both of your losses, my Samoyed husky Polar passed away today and we’re all in bits here, I’m sure time will heal which is light at the end of the tunnel, RIP Polar❤️
I can relate. I went through hell and back with my sobriety. Always falling off the wagon. My one dog who was a rescue was with me through all of it. The day I had to put him to sleep, was harder than the day my father died. I've lost a few dogs throughout my life, and they all felt like getting hit by a train but this one was the hardest. Felt like even though I took this dog in when he was stranded, he was the one who rescued me. I might be sober now, but I havn''t been the same since losing him 2 years ago. Took a huge piece of me with him that I will never regret.
Same. I haven't gone back to drugs but I still struggle with alcohol. I will be ok for months, sometimes years at a time then I relapse. The sense of relief when the alcohol hits my system is almost like air to a drowning man. I have severe anxiety and I've taken all the medications and nothing works. Except Xanax which is worse than the alcohol. I have been on another good streak..almost 9 months now but I still feel like I am white knuckling it. I remember originally listen to this podcast and it got me in the feels..still does today. I lost a puppy when I was in first grade and still think about it at 42.
My dog of 16 years is being put down right now, he’s had a great life. He was the best dog anyone could have ever asked for. The best. Friendly, loyal, to everyone never a single issue. My best friend growing up, Rest In Peace Apollo, Love you.
Not gonna lie this podcast broke me. I haven’t cried in god knows how long, but to hear these stories and to reflect on my own life as a dog owner from before, hit VERY close to home for me.
Sarkastik Leader wow I just cryed.....I don't cry... I lost my girl Penny and man did I cry as I held her then I put her in the ground. I have a dog now and I love him and I know he loves me and I will cry again someday. Thanks Joe and kevin.
@Marc Martinez Someone shares and you call them a bitch? What is the point in hate? That is a very traumatic experience get the fuck out of here douche bag.
My boy passed on today. He was just shy of 14 years old. I'm 22 now. He grew up with me. Seeing him age and deteriorate is one of the worst things I've had to go through in my life. We do not deserve dogs.
Age happens to all of us. Pets teach us the cycle of life. To focus on the worst part is a disservice to the person/pet you’ve had in your life. Remember the good times.
Lost my boy 6 months ago as well. Im 23. Had him for almost 12 years. Raised him from a baby and held him in my arms as he died. The worst pain I've ever felt. I miss him every day
Took my beloved Westie to be put down yesterday had her for 12 years and as a 49 year old man its the hardest thing I have ever done and even though she was suffering the guilt I feel is tremendous I held her head in my hands when she passed and the loyalty and trust she had right to the end is absolutely breaking my heart.
The hardest moment of my life was losing my mother. Even after five years, I find myself dreaming she's still alive, only to wake up crying from the shock of being instantly reminded that she's gone.
I'm sorry. I guess my situation is somewhat similar. My Father was amazing but we didn't have the closest relationship and I always wanted one. I think part of my brain still thinks he's alive. I think of a nice vacation spot that he wanted to visit or a conversation we should have (he loved conversations on weird topics) - then the realization that he's not there hits me like a blow to the heart. There's no one to talk to within my family really. It sucks sometimes, I feel that men are supposed to take things like this on the chin and it's not right
@@Initium1000 sometimes it’s just good to cry a little. I have similar feelings about my grand dad who passed last year. I feel like all we can do is remember all the great things we’ve done with our lost loved ones and hope to make the most of the ones we still have with us. 🖖
I feel for these men. When I was a kid I accidentally left the gate open. My dog ran on the road. I didn’t know. I was upstairs at the time when some of my friends said they saw a dog got ran over. I couldn’t find my dog so I went to see. As I got closer I saw it was mine. She was barely alive, I picked her up and as I got closer to my yard she looked at me and passed away. I cried in front of everyone. I miss her.
Had a similar situation with my cat... accidentally left the door open grabbing groceries next thing I know I heard a loud thud if it was my cat seizing in the road after being hit by a car.Very traumatic scene holding him until his final breath.
happened to me as a kid... accidentally didn't shut gate tight when I was playing w/friends in the summer & got a call a bit later from the lady who managed the Iceberg Drive-In (old school style burger & shake place just up the street) who got our number from our dog's tags telling us she had our dog, which sadly was hit right in front of the place.... long story short, vet tried to save it, but it was suffering & we ended up having to put it down
My precious cat died in my arms yesterday morning after being attacked by dogs. It's 7am and I havent slept or eaten since she died. The only time I have felt pain like this was when my mother passed away. It's crazy how you can form such a strong connection with a little fur baby. Theres 4 ppl in my household and she sleep in a different bed each night, loved us all unconditionally.
Hey I know I’m three months late but I’m also 19 and feel the same way. We just gotta wait for the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you are feeling better !
One of the toughest days of my life was when my dog died in early 2013. She was almost 13 years old and she was my dog since I was literally in middle school. I had graduated high school, joined the army, went overseas twice, got married all with having that dog. It was rough saying goodbye to that dog that I had grown up with. I totally understand. But now I have another dog, Mr. Perry, and he's about 3, give or take. I've had that boy for two years now and I know that it's gonna kill me when he eventually dies. But I can't even handle the thought of thinking about that.
Sorry to hear my friend. I don't know why i care to share this online, not much to comment but regarding my animals I'll put myself aside. Last year a family member in a delusional state let my dog out, he was hit by a car and passed away a few hours later on his way to the vet at the age of 4. My son begged for a new dog earlier than we were ready, and after giving in we had our new pup from the pound (7 month old boxer pit) 1 month later. He took over the house quickly and attached himself to my 3 year old daughters side. 1 week later our cat of 9 years had his legs give out from blood clots, my wife had to leave work to say her goodbye as it was her cat before knowing me. A week after that our dog from the pound, "Ducker" as he was named thanks to letting our son name him had fallen Ill. We had his stomache pumped putting us nearly in debt for him to return feeling fine. 1 week later he fell ill again and worse. I watched my dog turn to skin and bone. Every day i boiled him chicken and gave him unflavored pedialite though a childrens oral medicine syringe. About a week later after not getting better be refused all food. I ran out of options knowing he'd be dead in 24 hours if he didnt eat. I did what some should call stupid, but i smoked some pot and blew it in his nose over and over. I had no tolerance and got myself stoned out of my mind and thought he'd either die a bit more relaxed with me or finally eat. He ate 1 hour later. 1 more week of helping him to his feet and he was back on his own. This dog means everything to me. He he 1 and a half now, he pulls me on 3 mile skateboarding misions a couple times a week, learned to swim in river currents like a champ and most importantly he sits at my daughter's bedside to sleep whether she is home or not. In fact, i was pulled from my nap today with the words "your dogs out and the fucker keeps running when i get close, i give up". What a good boy, came to me the second he saw my skateboard. Stupid long comment, but i guess some of us just like to share stories of our good boys.
@@JustOneMoreTaskMom Thanks for sharing that. The vast majority of comments you see online are pretty negative and toxic. However, occasionally you find this random, beautiful, and profound stuff from complete strangers, but is still emotionally meaningful. I think people should open up more and hide their feelings less. For whatever that’s worth, I appreciated hearing your story.
I wont sugar coat it....it wont ever heal not even when your 45 yrs old. My cat came to us when I was 7 yrs old and died when I was 25 yrs old. I'm 41 and somedays I'll think of him and cry. But there will be times in the future you can laugh and smile over memories and not hurt....I promise
I had a cat for over twenty years im 29 now. Literally found this cat when I was 5 years. She was around 22 when she died. I'll never forget taking her in to the vet I couldn't even speak to them due to the fact I'm choking over my tears and trying to get my words out. I wasn't even a cat person but Mitten was just my baby for so long that it didn't matter. God I loved her so much and she loved me. Slept with me every night. I'll miss her forever.
I had a relationship with my cat like this but she only lived for 4 years. She was so friendly to everyone it was like she was a puppy or some shit. Then she slowly stopped eating, drinking, and got kidney disease. Even tho she was nice to everyone.. try to stick a needle in her for the IV to treat her that would’ve extended her years by 10? Fuck no she wouldn’t have it so we had to take her into the vet to have them do it 3x a week instead of 5. She died sleeping in my bed with me.
I feel your pain. I have an old cat that's not been eating or drinking very much for a few weeks now. he eats just enough wet food to get by, but I fear he is getting close to a point that I do not want to think about. Few things are as heartbreakingly painful as having to let go of our great animal friends.
Lost my boxer earlier this year, 44 yrs old and ive never cried more in my life. Dog is the only animal that will love you unconditionally. They are gods true gift to humanity imo.
I just saw this clip, told myself not to watch it because of the title, but I watched it anyway. I'm going through this with an aging, loved dog of 15 years. I don't wish that pain on anyone. One of the most painful experiences to go through. Watching someone you love so much, deteriorate in front of your eyes and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Heartbreaking
Lost my choc lab 5 years ago, and I still think about her everyday. I have her as my Lock Screen at night so I always get to see her again. It’s one of the worst pains I’ve ever had!
My dog passed away last year, I took care of him the best I could, fed him salmon and steaks, everything i could give him. When i went to put him down I was with him. The pain was unbearable to lose him. A year later it still hurts and I think it always will, but i'm happy my dog came into my life, I found him in a park when he was a puppy and he lived a great 14 years. If you have a dog, give them love and happiness as if everyday was their last. They're all special.
Your dog had a good owner. All dogs deserve what your dog had. Nothing can fill the void you have, but you can share your compassion with another dog on death row waiting to get adopted. I hope you find the strength to do so.
David Rodriguez he found you in that Park. You found each other it was meant to happen. They never really leave just the body. The soul becomes part of your soul.
@DECIMUS MAXIMUS it shouldn't but that's just how we're programs sometimes I know people that lost their dogs 10 plus years ago and you mentioned it and it was like they lost them yesterday they're just part of you the fact that you grieve and regret sometimes, shows the love you had
I literally treat my dog like my child.. I love him so much.. I would take a bullet for my dog. I know that sounds crazy but it’s true man. No one shows me as much love as my pittie “chunk” . Good ol boy
My dog is my boy. I take Perry everywhere I can take him, even if he stays in the car for just a few minutes while I'm in the store, as long as it's not too hot or cold. Perry boy loves to go out and meet people and just kiss everyone. He's about 3, give or take. Other than my girlfriend, that dog is hands down my best friend. I'd do just about anything for that boy. I'd beat the shit out of someone for my boy.
@@muahmichelle hope u doing fine, I just lost mine today, it happened while I was asleep too now my biggest regret is not being there for her in her last moments
@@redknockz454 thanks hope you are fine too. mine sadly choked on a ball very awful way to go. Im never buying small balls again for my dogs. our dogs will always be in our heart.
Lost my dog yesterday. Feel ya. Anybody who loves a pet like y'all are showing, with such emotion. Your real men and so appreciated. Sorry for your loss, not fun, but appreciate your compassion for animals.
We just put our 15 year old labradoodle down this morning and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. This is hitting us very hard. I know that it was time for him but I’m going to miss boy
I was 23 when we had to put down my dog of 17 years. At that point, had no real memory of life without her in it. She made the good times better, and the bad ones just bearable enough. When the time came, the vet came to my house and I carried her to her favorite chair. As they put the drugs in her, I stroked her hair and nuzzled her nose while singing to her. Once it was over, I carried her to the truck to be taken to the vet clinic to be cremated. I then went back into my house and destroyed anything I could get my hands on. I'm 31 now, and it's still the most devastating experience of my life. She would always scratch at my door, once the house was settled for the night, to jump on my bed to go to sleep. In the later stages, I took the mattress off the box spring and put it on the floor so she didn't have to jump. For many years, I would sometimes hear that scratch on the door, and I'd open it every time hoping for the impossible. I could live to 100, and she will still be the best friend I'll ever have
She must've been a really healthy dog to be able to live 17 years. I'm sure you took great care of her! Sorry to hear about her passing away. I've got a 4 month old lab puppy and I already catch myself thinking about him passing away someday. I'm 19 right now and he'll probably be gone by the time I'm close to 33. I have no idea how I'll cope with it
I wish I could go back to spring day in the year 2000 life was so easy all my family was still alive. Ever since then it's been nonstop death and despair I asked God if he's out there to show me a sign and nothing happens . I just want some sign I don't care what it is.. it never comes. Anybody that has ever had a pet that they had to put down. It will stick with you forever and ever. You'll never get over it you'll learn to cope a bit, but you'll never get over it
@@ph7715 "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth; the alternation of the day and the night; the ships that sail the sea for the benefit of humanity; the rain sent down by Allah from the skies, reviving the earth after its death; the scattering of all kinds of creatures throughout; the shifting of the winds; and the clouds drifting between the heavens and the earth-˹in all of this˺ are surely signs for people of understanding."
F E, I don’t understand why you people are turning all this into a comment battle.. he said the dogs death was tough but his friends death obviously had more of an impact on him... I find people who do not take time to analyze things and only look at it through a single lens to be annoying and mentally exhausting.
Sorry to break this to you.. but the single answer system you learned in school is not what I learned through experience in life. Life isn’t school, I would suggest that you analyze everything even the seemingly obvious things on multiple levels.
Lost my yellow lab Jerry this week, and been thinking about him ever since. He gave our family fantastic memories for 15 years, and we will never forget him. Coming back to this video is comforting.
I hate that expression. I always think people who say that nonsense must be really crappy, inconsiderate owners who have made their dog's world very small. Narcissists. I'm *not* my dogs' whole life. They've got other shit going on.
@@mr.n476, exactly *how* does it mean that? Giving my dog a wide enough world that I am not the centre of it and not being narcissistic and deluded enough to think they don't have experiences and an existence separate from me makes me a bad owner? That is fucking pathetic man. I feel sorry for *you* .
My dog just passed away today, I found her this morning, and... It's the worst feeling I've ever felt. She was my best friend, 15 years by my side, a whole life shared together has come to an end. It hurts a lot, knowing that every time I come home, she wont be there to light up my life... Feels like a part of my heart just vanished, all the love she gave me, I will remember every good time I spent with her. Rest in peace, I will look for you in heaven, Güera. 🖤
😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤ I’m so sorry I am feeling your pain. I lost my baby girl German shepherd 14 years today 😢😢😢😢 I love you Xena u til we meet again my love ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sorry to hear that man. I had a dog that was put down because I was put into foster care and my dad didn't take care of him so he was sent to the shelter and put to sleep. My dad says it's my fault for wanting a dog. He was such a happy little dog. I miss him :(
that moment when you see the vets car pull up to your house is absolutely soul destroying... after it happened i ran outside to cry my eyes out and even the vet and his assistant came out after me crying as well and gave me a massive hug. the expression 'a dog is a mans best friend' is one of the most honest statements i have ever heard in my life. my heart goes out to each and everyone of you who has lost their best buddy
Rip pocho, my life partner for 17 years, we were born the same year and my grandma decided to buy my a dog so I can play with him when I grew up. Dogs are angels.
That's basically your brother / son he was probably so dependent on you and you stuck with him for 17 years and you will probably dependent on each other. I wonder where would humanity be without dogs to love us unconditionally and to be with us in good times and bad. Life is just not fair to have to say goodbye at such a young age
My dog has helped me overcome depression and anxiety and I can't even imagine the thought of losing my little buddy. It's like you have this little life who loves you to death and would take anything from you without losing the enthusiasm and to think of a future without that quadrupedal embodiment of pure love and joy is just hard.
@@johnye2210 thanks man I didn't really expect anyone to read that it means a lot! And that's what I've been telling myself too we will meet again someday!
“Without that dog writing for me...” “How’d he write for you?” “It’s a joke joe.” Oh god that was so good. Joe’s gotta be out of his mind high doing this podcast.
Barry Celtic Yeah for sure. I thought he was going down that road. I just thought it was funny coz Joes reaction reminded me of times I’ve been so high I missed the joke and it just cracked me up.
I loved my dogs more than anything I've ever loved, and that's why I will never get another animal again. Not because I don't love them, but because I honestly can not handle losing another best friend like that. Or worse, fucking up and not making their life the best life a living being can have. This is why when I see people hurting animal, I become physically aggressive. It's been three years since I lost my two friends and I've just not been the same.
I hate when people say Oh you can just get another one. That's like saying if you're child dies you can just have another one. Ughh so ignorant and heartless. They all have completely different personalities. I've had dogs since I was in my moms womb. I've never not had a dog. And I miss each one that passed in a different way ❤.
It makes me think about when my neighbor died. I never cried like that before. We both lived alone in neighboring cottages in upstate NY for 1/4 of my life, and became very close. Such a compassionate human being. The world will never know what a great man he was. Rest In Peace Eric Sternberg.
I went through more pain and heartache when my 12 year old golden had to be put down than when my father died, I raised her from a puppy, we had the same birthday. The bond I formed with her was more like a communion that I will never experience again, I'm 61 years old and not a day goes by without thinking and missing my best friend.
I lost two brothers and my mother and still nothing hurt this bad. I had this puppy since he was less than 6 weeks old over a quarter of my life. All the time and effort to try to keep him healthy by walking him even in the winter time taking him to the pet store and walking him through all 20 aisles at least three times. 12 and 1/2 years later he dies of heart failure. Sometimes I think to myself there can't be a god
I feel you. It's so hard. I lost my 9.5 yr old girl dog from cancer then 1 year later my sweet boy dog passed away. I still cry over them and wear their ashes in an urn locket on a necklace. I miss them so much. I would have traded places with them in a heartbeat. They didn't deserve to be so sick.
Having a friend die, animal or human, is heartbreaking. A very good friend of mine passed almost exactly 3 years ago and man I just want those times back. There's no replacing a friend
What Kevin said towards the end is what makes owning a dog so devastating: when you have to decide the fate of your best friend, your best friend who trusts and loves you like no other. That is a hard reality. I worked as a vet tech for 10 years and witnessed and assisted in many euthanasia’s. Most times it is obvious the owners are doing the right thing at the right time. Even so, when you are involved and the owner stays with their pet it is so difficult. For everyone.
I put my little girl down two days ago, she was my best friend for 13 years, we barely spent a day apart... it was the hardest thing i've ever done and it's so hard. I miss my friend
@@shakeau I just put down my boy yesterday. I feel unspeakable loss. His presence is so missed. We just have to be happy they aren’t suffering but god damnit I hate that they have to go. I just want him back to hug him again. Thank you for sharing. I hope you are healing from your loss.
@@TheAnalyticalFailure sorry to hear man! It's so fkn tough... I think about my little girl everyday and visit her resting place often... It doesn't make sense, it doesn't really get easier, but I'm so grateful for the time we got to spend together, the lessons we taught each other, i can always feel her with me in some way shape or form... I'm sure with your old boy it is the same. He had a great life, let him move through to whatever's next, we will all have our time and with any luck we will get to see our friends again. Chin up bro, for your old boy. ❤️💪
Had to watch my dog die in my arms. It was heart breaking seeing her life slip away and I couldn't do anything to help her but comfort her let her know I'm there for her. I don't I'll ever forget how helpless I felt at that moment. R.I.P. Nana.
Same here. My furry baby died in my arms on 27 of may. I had to watch her last breath because I wanted her to know I m with her until the end. I feel so sad, angry, guilty, broken. And her last moments and her little lifeless body just haunts me.
Seems like you were a very good parent. It's tough. I got to be honest People sometimes I could give two craps about but an animal dying eats right into my soul
@@pufaricid5529 somebody seriously needs to start local support groups because it is so hard dealing with it talking to family members who really don't know quite how it feels to be even remotely compassionate. People just don't understand how it feels to lose an animal unless they've lost one
My baby died last night , she looked at my mom with a deep stare like she knew that was the last time she would ever see her mom . So heartbreaking 💔, poor little animals . We are there entire life .
@@stevenovalle9967 i m sorry for your loss. It s been over two months since my furr baby died. it s all bullshit. It doesnt get easier. This excruciating pain is my companion for life.
For those reading, when that day comes you have to put your pet down, be there with them when it happens. Just so that way they are with someone they love with they go to sleep. It'll be more comfortable for them. My biggest regrets was when one of my dogs had to be put down from old age complications. I was so sad that I refused to go to the vet and said goodbye at the car. As hard and sad as it was, I wish I was there for my dog.
I just put my dog down a week ago, and I knew I had to be there. The hardest thing for me is letting go of the moment when I couldnt feel his heart beat and trying to find it... God I know thats so sad but I wish he was still here. Be there for your dogs, they love you so much, give them everything you have too.
I was at a after school program where you lived there for the school year. My dog was dying of cancer at the time, and my family did their best to help her get better. I wasn't able to be there when they put her down. I honestly don't know how i would've handled it if i were there. But saying goodbye to her was the hardest thing ive ever done. She was my best friend 😢
I do agree, or at the least have another family member or person who the dog is comfortable with be there. I did it with my cat and while I'm sure she was a little out of it before the shot, I could definitely tell it helped keep her calmer knowing her mommy was with her. And I made myself tear up. 😢🥺 On to happier videos.
I held her, it was horrible, but I owed it to her. I've never hugged, kissed or given as much love to anything in my life and just like that she's a cold carcass laying on the table.
my dog of 18yrs was put down 20hrs ago. He died in my arms with my voice in his ear. Its one of the hardest things I have ever had to endure but I owed it to him to be there. I have no kids or spouse so I am lost at the moment.
This is my favourite JRE ever. The honesty and the humanity in Joe's voice and words are profound. The friendship he had with both the puppy and his vet are clear in his fave, his voice slightly trembling and his eyes. I'm so pleased to have seen this as usually Joe is all "Whoa, that's amazing!" and "have you tried DMT?" Not always, but you get my drift.
I remember when my dog died. I was at school and my mom texted me “He’s in a better place now”. I remember trying to hold on my tears the whole day and when I finally got home I bursted into tears. I miss him everyday and it seems things have only gotten worse since he’s left. Miss ya everyday jack 😔
My dogs legs starting to give away but . I’m just happy he’s blessed to still have his hearing, vision and good general health at the age of 12. Not sure how or why he’s always so happy but he’s an inspiration
That is one of the best quotes I have heard in a long time. Two "ninjas chopping onions". They are both ninjas in their own right. And instead of chopping onions in the kitchen, their chopping them over bong hits in a studio talking about man things. Like how much we love dogs. (I know women love dogs too, but for many guarded non-emotional damaged men, dogs are literally the only beings they trust connecting with). I never saw my dad cry. Ever! Except when his dog died. It was pretty freaky for a kid to see such a hard man, uncontrollably sobbing. Like there was this soft side of him I never knew existed (I just thought he was a sadistic prick). Dogs can do that to you. This is what it looks like when real men cry. Ninjas chopping onions. Love it! Thanks for the quote.
Man I'm 225lb, 6', a real ruffneck, electrician by trade, powerlifter... And what I would like to think of as a mans man... But the day I had to put my Rottie down, Jesus I cried like a fucking baby... Hardest day of my life.... Loved that dog...
Heart breaking. My cat of 20years had to be put down this year and it hurts so much, my mum and I took it in turns to cuddle him when it was happening, it's weird cause every time he went to the vets he'd panic but not this time. When he did pass I carried him tight to me in the car as I hated the idea of him just going back into a cage. When we got home we took it in turns again to cuddle him and say our goodbyes. He was still warm when we put him in his box with his favourite little faux fur blanket and his small jar of dreamies as he adored those (he was very much led by his tummy and it just seemed right to my mum and I). For ages we kept feeling like we killed him, even though we knew he couldn't go on in pain and it was kinder on him. He was blind, found out he had heart murmurs and started to loss control of his body, going round in circles. Miss him everyday and still cry for him often.
It’s just inevitable, if you ever owned a dog you felt that crushing moment. Don’t resort to that moment because you miss them, think about how much fun you had with them and be excited that you will see them again.
Tip for any owners with dogs with weak legs! My chocolate lab is 15 years old and for most of her life lay in a bed on the floor that she had to stand up to get out of. Last year I bought a raised bed (about half a foot above the ground) that allows Coco to ease her weight onto her front legs while she stretches out the back legs as she gets out of bed and I couldn't believe how much she improved - still very wobbly but after a couple of mins she's stable and walking around. There's no way she would still be with us without this change although the end isn't too far away :( Hope this helps anyone that's dog is suffering from the same thing.
he actually was not. But let's say that he was, what is your point? that would mean that even someone evil can have good things about him. Pot Pot, Stalin, and Mao were all meat eaters btw
Joe Rogan has had a very uplifting effect on me in what is definitely one of the worst times of my life. Fuck anyone who wants to talk shit about him. And "fake"? There's indisputable evidence that he does all of the things that he talks about. People=Shit~Slipknot
Hunting does not necessarily mean dislike for animals. He hunts in a humane way as he shoots them in the heart. I believe he respects the animals he hunt. Just like Native Americans.
Dogs may only be with us for a fraction of our lives, but we're with them from birth til death. Spend as much time with them as you can, let them know how much you love them as frequently as possible and when it's time for them to cross that rainbow bridge you be a man and hold their paw.
Ben Brady I agree yell at them as little as possible don't get frustrated with them no matter how much they piss you off because they always have your back. If you treat them like gold you have nothing to be ashamed of after they are gone no regrets either
Lost my baby Napolean yesterday I'm torn so badly, it's incredible the connections we have with animals they are so giving and vulnerable and are full of unconditional love. ❤️
I cried when my cat died. I got her when she was 2, and had her for 18 more years, from when I was 16 until 34. Like that cat lived through every moment of my life until that time. Luckily I was there when we put the cat down, it was so hard but I was thankful that I was the last thing the cat saw. I had promised the cat many times that no matter what, I would always take care of her and I would be the last thing she saw. She was my best friend. I don't know if you believe in this sort of thing, but in her last moments, I swear she gave me a look that said "thank you for everything". Great cat. In time though it heals -- the happy memories far outweigh the end. I was so lucky for it to live 20 happy years too. Cats and dogs are so amazing.
thank you for writing that - I held all my animals for the vet when they had to go. I was with them and saw them stare back at me and fade away as I held and comforted them, I wished them peace but found it hard to live with myself as I was actually the one ending their existence while they trusted me. I felt like I betrayed them and cried and cried every time and for a long time. I can barely see the screen to see what I'm typing now.. anyhow, worst one was the last - my feral cat mimi, hated everyone but loved me. I was the only one that could hold her in my arms, she'd scratch and hiss and go apeshit if anyone approached her. I'm happy for the time I've had with all my animals, and I am grateful for your comment.
@chairman meow i lost my cat 8y ago and still cry sometimes,she was amazing ,she knew i was coming home minutes before i showed up at the door.. Cats and dogs are pure souls,they have no or very little ego ,they just love us ,they do not care about our moods,social class,$,looks ,they just love us ,period They are angels,not sure we deserve them.
I have 2 cats and I fear the day I have to put them down. They have been there for me during the worst times in my life and they are there for me during my divorce.
@@bmcknight516 It's the hardest thing I've ever done... and I've had to do it twice. It's cliche but in time the happy memories far outweigh the bad. And eventually you are ready to acquire more cats and help more of them. :)
Yes great and happy memories are so worth it. Life itself is so short that why its so important to cherish every minute of it and just enjoy life with memories because in the end those memories are all that left.
If this wasn’t a tear jerker for u, get urself checked out (update my dog died last night on the 4th of July😣 the only dog I’ve ever had. 13 years I’ve grown up with her since I was 5 all I remember is life with her now I feel so alone and empty)
I lost my boy last night, in a very similar way to how Kev described at the end, bought him home for the first time when I was just a boy at 6 years old, and I lost him at 23. When I was younger I'd rationalise by telling myself it'll be okay when he passes, I'll be older and stronger, but the older I became the more attached to him I found myself getting. The weaker he got with age, the more dependant on us he became, which is where I felt the true true bond form. I'm all cried out at this point, I just feel lost and empty, which I'm sure most of you reading this can resonate with. When he left this life, a part of me that I'll never get back left with him. But part of him will forever live inside my heart.
It’s getting close to a year for when I had to make my goodbye to my dog Spike, I had him since I was 7 and he lived till I was 21, the deepest pain I ever had to go through was holding as he was dying of congestive heart failure, my mom and niece by my side while I just sit there falling apart losing my best pal, never take anything or anyone for granted wether it’s a pet, friend or family member, they seem like they’ll live forever but we all live on a time limit, cherish every moment you can get ❤️
I lost my dog 4 weeks ago. I thought that I was ready to let her go after having her for 12 years. I never thought that I would miss her so much, and I didn't really see the point of living. I thought I couldn't live without her, because we moved a lot and she was my constant best friend. I'm getting better, but it's hard to sleep without hearing her snoring. I know it sounds stupid getting so worked up over a dog, but it hurts so much. I just want my Jazmine back
Sorry to hear you lost your dog, it really doesn't sound stupid, they are amazing animals, they are our family and we have bonds with dogs that are extremely real and full of real feelings, I felt sadder losing my dog than I have any human family member, he was by my side for 13 years, pretty much every day, no many humans get that close to each other.
@@infectedvoice7293 So sorry for your loss, and I absolutely agree with your statement. I was so close with her, it feels like a piece of my heart went with her.
Not stupid at all, as im sitting here scrolling through the comments i can hear my four legged best friend snoring as he lays at my feet. Nothing stupid about that comment at all, unconditional love from day one. Always glad when you come home no matter what, its really hard saying goodbye to all that.
I promise you, you dont sound stupid. It’s not “just a dog” we both know that. I hope you continue to get better. Just had to put my boy down he died in my arms. I told myself I couldn’t do it, and I was gonna let them do it by themselves. But I just couldn’t, so I thugged it out with him every step of the way. It was my birthday and he was my first pet. I’ll forever be changed by this. I randomly hear him whining when I try to sleep. This fucked me up for life.
Just lost my dog Tuesday that we got as a puppy made it all the way to ten years old it was a great run !! We watched each other grow up sorry for your loss man
you're wonderful for adopting an older dog. i did the same a few years ago when i adopted a senior dog from a shelter. they weren't sure how old she was, but they categorized her as "9+"- my darling maggie, a deliciously bear-like cocker spaniel. i had 3 beautiful years with her, and she died in early may of this year. my goodness the grief.
@@jessicataylorwalton Yeah, the silence is specially bad. I was so used to hearing her tappy taps walking around everywhere. Also her being so happy when we came from with groceries cause she knew we always got her a treat or something. It's been over 5 months since and not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about her. Older dogs are special for sure.
We just lost our 17 year old dog last week. He was tragically knocked down by a family friend in our driveway from a freak accident. We’re all absolutely heartbroken and can’t stop thinking of all the what ifs. Feel like I’ll never get over this :(
Emma Bradley The guilt feeling is the worst feeling about losing a dog . After that is the emptiness. You are a damn good parent though for 17 years. I know it doesn't bring you comfort nothing does .I just wanted to remind you
I swear, I’ve seen more men get more emotional about losing their dogs than their own human family members. The emotional connection you develop is strong and deep. I tear up looking at my dog and thinking this day will come.

Lost my dog today. Feeling broke
C D cheers mate and you
🥺
I haven’t lost my good boy yet, but every time I even think about it, i can’t help but break down in tears. He’s my family member and I raised him and saw him grow up in front of my very eyes and I don’t think I’ll truly ever be ready for that day
There’s something strangely comforting seeing 2 grown men cry about their dogs.
dogs and cats are family members
It's 3 actually, took me right back to my dog
@@danieleaston723 put that at 100 thousand plus never cried harder then when my dog died. Lost family, friends still young and nothing compares to losing a dog, I’m way more scared dying not seeing Belle again such a sweetheart
I feel like it's comforting to some men. To see 2 alpha males cry over a pet. It's not something often seen in media. And honestly to some people it's frowned upon. I literally balled my eyes out for days when my rabbit of 10 years passed away. I've been told that i need to man up it's just a rabbit. But see these two cry. Makes me cry. Cause we all share the same feelings for our companions
@@thentantt hi I just lost my rabbit a few days ago and I feel your pain. I find myself thinking I’m hearing or seeing him in the corner of my eye and it’s like a tidal wave of sadness hits every time. I found my rabbit in the street and he brought so much joy to my life, I’m sure your rabbit loved you and was grateful for such a caring owner.
Someone once told me "Heaven is every dog you ever loved running back to you"
Wise words right there
I can see that vividly.
dogs and cats please !!!!:(
@@Tyborz well for the dogs you right but i do beleive my cat loves me he doesnt let anyone pet him or kiss or lays in bed with no one besides me so let me think that :D excuse my english btw
The dogs you were indifferent about go straight to dog hell.
The pain from losing a dog is deep, it never goes away. That bond is eternal.
I held my boy when he had to get put down. Was 16, but was developing a really bad osteosarcoma in his leg.. Think of myself as a pretty tough dude. I cried like a child saying goodbye to him. Held him in my arms and pet him as he slipped away. I just said "I'll see you later buddy." And was able to walk to my truck and bawled when I got in. Snot bubbles and all. Tearing up just writing this. Miss you Charlie. I'll be with you in a bit, buddy-doo.
@@burpostockings I just put my girl of 9 years down yesterday, man i cried like a bitch still am as Im writing this. I see her everywhere, can't even get up this morning without crying right away. Her bed, this house everything feels so empty without her. I will never get over this man. I miss you Xena
Sorry for your loss.
Im in the same boat I said goodbye to Scooby who was 12 yesterday due to cancer and I know he was in pain but god part of me did not want to take him to the vet which is selfish to say but I’ll miss him so much he was my best friend
@@burpostockings naw that's sweet bro. I'm sure you were a great owner and I'm sure Charlie appreciated every pet you gave him.
We'll see them again. Only when we do we will hear their thoughts.
I think Louis CK said when you buy a puppy you are investing in a really really sad day in the future
+Mathieu Pilon And?
It was George Carlin. Said when you're buying a puppy what you're really doing is purchasing a small tragedy.
Nikko Saraos
Who cares what that racist has to say.
That’s the same with everything we invest in
8-15 years of joy and 1 day of sadness is worth it
Had to put my dog down today. Really felt this. They'll forever be missed.
All the love in the world to you and your pup. You'll see him/her at Rainbow Bridge
@@lioncvet21 I wish you the best.
Wish you the best !
rest in paradise to ur little buddy
I know Im going to get a lot of shit for this but... Im gonna say it anyway. Why the fuck put down the dog??? Do you put down your grandma, grandad or whatever? It just seems wrong. Animals want to live as long as possible. Did your dog say to you 'Please kill me'. So it did not.
Real men cry. Especially over animals and loving people.
@Lawn Mower Watch out! We've got a badass over here!
Lawn Mower you mean only people that were/are useful to you
@Lawn Mower So you're saying you had a pet, and you didn't cry over their death but did cry over people you know dying?
or are you saying you never had an animal companion because you never really cared much for animals, which is why, as a consequence of never owning a pet, you never cried over the death of one?
Both are different. One makes you kind of an asshole, the other makes your comment irrelevant.
@Lawn Mower right.. that's not what anyone here said. Hope you get better.
@Lawn Mower no one here said anything about valuing lives of yohr pets over human lives.. the comment said "real men cry over animals and people" although i dont really understand what masculinity has to do with it but whateber, to which you said "for people. Not animals in my case"
And now you say you have cried over animals but you just care about humans more. Okay buddy thanks for the information but no one really implied they didn't do the same.
So when I say I hope you get better, I mean I hope you get better.
I lost Kujo yesterday. He was my best friend. A 13.5 year old borador. The world's greatest dog my heart is breaking. Feeling for everyone who goes through this.
Reminds me to hold my own Cujo close.. (He is a half Corgi, half Dachshund)
Edit (1 month later): As of this edit, I have lost my own Cujo to Parvo and feel your pain brother...may our good boys rest easy..
Put down goliath black lab 4 months ago :( and its hard my heart broke too
Sorry for your loss
It’s so hard my friend I know…. Just try and remember how he was at his greatest moments how his smile would brighten your day.
I'll never forgive myself for not being there when my dog was put down. He was so old and in pain, he was about 14. I hadn't lived a day in my life without this dog. I was 14 as well, we grew up together. And when he was in pain and leaving this world, I wasn't there for him. I just told him I loved him with all my heart and let my dad take him to the vet. Here's to Smash the Pug. A good boy I will never forget.
Men showing true emotion should not be ostracized
💯💯
Kashed thats right!
Shut up
It's All Good Man I bet this nigga the type to cry when he stub his foot
Emotion is for women.
The day my dog passed away I was in the shower and she starts scratching and crying at the door so loud I had to get out and see what was up, it's like she knew it was her last day and she just wanted to be with me as long as she could. I held her in my arms until her last breath, she didn't cry or weap. She went so peacefully because I was able to hold her and keep her comfortable. It blows my mind the connection dogs have with us, all they know is love
Damn bro I’m so sorry
this is fcuked
Sorry brother
Mine passed away 4 days ago. I had 14.5 great years with him. I woke up that day and he didn’t even have energy to stand up. I picked him up to take him to the emergency vet and he died in my arms as I was walking out the door. I felt his last heartbeat. I miss him so much.
@@mr.e2136 sorry brother
This wasn't a JRE podcast, this was two great interviewers literally interviewing each other. It's got a great dynamic.
I think that's what a podcast is. Two or more Interviewing each other.
I disagree, I think there is only one interviewer up there that is good and actually knows how to make the most of his guests. Won't say who thooo 🤫
Yeah,that's a fucking podcast.. The opposite of an interview
Two dudes in a room shootin the shit
@@marktwane6195 sort of. What tends to happen is both play off of eachother. Is this rehearsed? Most likely not. The conversation tends to evolve. Joe hears something interesting then he probes. Kevin does it as well and from there. They find a golden spot. Something they both lived through or have interesting thoughts about.
And interview is more or less a Q&A.
My dog died 2 years ago. His name was Solo. He was 145 lbs and 7 years old. I was a wreck throughout his life. I drank all the time and complained constantly. I was sad and miserable but Solo always was happy to see me and love me regardless. I was at a bar one night with a friend and my wife called and said he overate. She couldn't get him in the car bc he was too big for her to handle. I didn't know the severity of big dogs overeating so I stayed at the bar for a few more hours. My wife sent me a picture of him waiting at the door. That picture breaks my heart to this day. He knew he was dying and just wanted to see me. I finally get there and he had blown up like a balloon. I took him to the car and sat in the backseat while my wife drove us to the vet. I could tell he was dying and I cried the whole way there. They put him down and 3 of the vets were crying. I sat with him after that for probably 2 hours just ashamed and feeling like a waste of a human. I quit drinking that night. I'm now 2 years sober. I named my channel after him. He would of given his life if he knew I would be well again. He's my angel and I miss him dearly.
😕
Im so sorry for your loss. I relate to this so much, thank you for sharing.
So sorry for your loss. Hang in there. And good job changing your life.
I know how hard it can hit. My little bro cat, a beautiful maine coon boy, passed away in 2017. I still miss him to this day, and its extremely hard to talk about him. Before he passed, he was also waiting for us to get home, cause only my mother was with him on that day. He couldnt move anymore, had serious kidney issues, but at least he still met my father. He meowed one last time at him, and decided to go. My father also loved him so much. I only saw my dad cry once in my life, and this was the time.
@SocratesinaG6 Thankyou for that. About a year and a half after he passed, which was August of 22, a dog showed up at our house. He wasn't as big as Solo, but close. It sounds weird saying this, but it felt like Solo in a new body. He had Solo's presence. The only two things I ever taught Solo was sit and shake. I could get him to do it without saying it with just a hand gesture. Well, I thought I would try it on this new dog and sure enough I said "sit" and he sat, then "shake" and he shook my hand. I even gave him the hand signal to sit without saying it and he did it. I tried a bunch of other things like stay and go and down and he knew none of them. Gave me goosebumps. We still got him. Nobody claimed him. It's been 2 years since he showed up. I thought Duo was a fitting name. The timing for him to show up at our house was just perfect too. I had grieved over Solo enough and was moving on. He's such a kind dog, just like Solo. Everybody loves him.
I just lost my right hand man yesterday and I’ve never felt this much pain , he was my best friend since I was 14 (I’m 23 now ), when my parents divorced he would come with me everywhere till the day he died , I miss him so much I cry whenever I think about how many times he saved me from causing harm to myself or others , dogs are truly a mans best friend R.I.P Bruno
Edit : hey thank you guys. I would have never guessed I would get the most support from a RUclips comment , again thanks for having my back♥️
Hope you're doing better this week man, sending my condolences
I hope ur doing well man if he could speak he wouldn't want u to be sad and suffer but to be glad it happened and got to experience his entire life
Oh man it took me months to get over it. Dogs are such a huge part of us. The best thing I could do was telling myself that I should be happy for all the years I got to share with my best friend, and that I should be proud of the life we gave him. I'm sure your Bruno was the happiest dog ever and loved life, always remember that. Bruno is forever grateful for the life you gave him.
Rip Bruno he lived a good life
Johnny Fernandez sorry for your loss man. Rip Bruno
“Dogs don’t have to live as long because they don’t have to learn all the lesson that humans have to. They already know how to be good so they don’t have to stick around as long as we do”. I remember reading that from a little boy that gave his take on putting his dog down. Always stuck with me
Another take is that dog is just an anagram for God. There is a reason why dogs are so good to us.
@@howardbaxter2514 unless it’s an anagram for “god” in all languages and not just English, I think you’re barking up the wrong tree here
@@dustinmerrell538 bruh😂😂
My 3 year old brother got eaten by a pit bull
I just think it's a good thing they don't live too long because imagine if a dog is raised in a abusive home, then what? Has to live the rest of their live for 30 or 50 years in pain? It's a good thing they don't live that long.
imagine jamie starts crying and starts a story about how his dog died and joe looks at him with a serious face and then jamie is like "oh sorry"
hilarious
Joe Rogan death stare
I needed this laugh after listening to this somber story.
Lmfao
I needed this, thank you.
My dog is 13 coming up on 14 , eyes getting cloudier , breathing heavier , grunts when he sits , it breaks my heart seeing my bestfriend get older and older by the day , yet he still has the puppy in him , he’s still a bozo always trying to wrestle . This clip really hit me in the feels . I’m not ready to lose my pup
A bit of advice from someone who has gone through this before. Don't let your dog start to suffer.. First, it's not fair to him, but also you'll never forgive yourself. I've been there. Also, when you say goodbye, make sure he knows you're there, holding him and talking to him. It's hard, but you want his final thoughts to be of you and he together..
My girl Aspen Is 14. Today Is her last day. From 16 to 30, my best friend. For half my life she healed my broken heart many times over. I'm broken.
@@liamnissanS2K just lost my dog sunday. we used to walk (feels so fucked up saying used to) all the woods paths and hills and schools i used to go to in my town. i keep having these like anime flashbacks of us walking all these areas with huge glorious sunsets behind us. the feeling and beautify of such an image is just so sharp.
@@liamnissanS2K we are all guaranteed to go & I believe we shall meet again!!!
he will watch over you and protect you forever. i feel for you and know, that you have a best friend for life, in this AND the next, you best believe that!
This one hit real close to home.
I won't bore anyone in the comments with my sob story about my dog, but anyone who has been through it gets it.
There's a special bond there between us and our pets, man. It's undeniable.
s a m p l e t e x t agreed. It’s like losing a family member
s a m p l e t e x t Sorry for your loss man. With any luck, that bond is from time that will come again.
s a m p l e t e x t i think he crying over the drunk driving death and a friend the puppy added a little spice
Cry for humans that raised you or you raised. Crying for a pet is embarrassing.
Was it unexpected?
My dog helped me get over the lowest point of my life, I was lost, the girl I was going to marry had a double life. And my husky saved my life. She died of a stroke at only 4 years old. Its like she came into my life when I needed her and she left as soon as my mental health was back to normal. God I loved her. Wish I could say thank you for everything she did for me.
They really are a miracle
Same man, I haven’t had my baby for long, he wasnt a fully year old yet. But as soon as my mental health was getting at a great place, my dog is gone. I believe he was an angel sent above. He bright so much joy to others, everyone adored him. He was the puppy whisperer at school, he is such an angel
Damn brother trusting someone living that double life shit really fucks you up. Glad you’re still here with us.
Same, dude. Supposed to get engaged. Found out he was cheating. All i did for weeks was stay in bed. My dog stayed with me. Every second. They are important
@@HLidaze yeah my ex cheated on me too this year. My cats get me through it. Very loving
These aren't tears. It's just raining on my face.
Dogs are family. It's that simple.
It's just a dog
@L D but is he really?
It's All Good Man he’s crying about the vet- a human.
@It's All Good Man I'd rather hang out with my dog then my best friend. He's like family, and I'm dreading the day he passes away.
It's tears. We have to knock this shit out. Don't change the words.
I bawled my eyes every day for 2 weeks when my dog passed, one of the strongest pains I’ve ever felt :(
When he said the vet was killed by a drunk driver that made me cry. That's just terrible.
yeah man i can't handle when other people tear up about loss or anything like that its too raw
I feel terrible, but seeing the other's guy reaction it actually maybe me laugh. God bless him🥺
Fuck drunks 👍🏻
Ever notice how it's always the drunk person who lives through accidents.?
@@rickDArula legends always die first man. I don't believe in heaven or religion but I believe there is something beautiful waiting for us over the horizon. And the greatest people always get the first invite.
Everyone who has had a dog or cat that passed understands this on a deep level.
It hurts so bad today I lost my eldest pooch and I have been in tears all day, just the thought that I’ll never get to see her again in my living life is killing me, but now she is hopefully in a better place having the time of her life
Just lost my cat yesterday. My heart is broken but reading these comments makes me not feel alone and that everything will be okay.
@@j.a.miracle5081 i feel for the both of you. My golden retriever had to be put down due to have liver cancer. He was 7 years old and we had him since he was only a few months. I miss my little buddy
@@jmsolano0516 we have a Labrador retriever and we had him since he was a few months too, one day he started limping and we went to the vets so many times and he just kept getting worse everyday, now he’s basically paralysed and is in pain, I’m here crying at 5:30am knowing this will be the last day I have with him. He’s my best friend and I love him so much.
I'm so sorry 💔💔💔
I found out today my boy has cancer in his nose, and pretty soon, he won’t be able to breathe through his nose. They gave him 2-3 months, maybe. He was a healthy, happy dog just two weeks ago. I woke up one morning and there was a growth in his nostril. That’s how fast you can lose the most important and best friend in your life. I’m making him a bucket list, and although I am completely destroyed, I can’t let him go out seeing me be utterly miserable. I have stopped crying, and began making him as happy as possible. I’m glad I have the couple months. I rescued him on day 10, he was next up to be put down. 9 years later, I have realized that he saved my life from terrible addictions and family loss. I’m still here, because of him.
So very sorry.. I feel your pain. Had to let my dog go 7 weeks ago due to mouth cancer and it still hurts like hell. Cherish every second.. know that you gave him a great life and he loves you for it.
Update please
I'm sitting here with my dogs who are 9 and 11. I've been dreading them dying since the day I fell in love with them. I didn't know I would love them so much. At this point I'm just glad they didn't die young. I had a few scares and would have been devastated if they didn't make it into old age. I'm glad you had a few months warning to spend with your dog and I hope you are doing okay.
I’m sorry you gotta go through that
It's one of the worst kinds of emotional pain...the love you give an animal is the same, special kind of love you give a person.
Lost my best friend, guardian angel, today and had to watch this again. He was a Boxer and he was 14 years old. We knew it was the right time for him to go, but this hurts more than anything I've ever felt before.
Same boat my friend, my boy was 13. You did the right thing, animals don’t deserve to suffer to spare our feelings. It’s unfair to them. You’re a good owner.
@@jordanjamison9235 Really appreciate your kinds words man. I'm sorry for your loss as well. Hope your dog went in the most peaceful way possible, just like mine did.
I hope you’re somewhat better and sorry for you loss man. I just put my 15 year old pit bull down today. One of the worst moments of my life.
Man RIP to your good boy 😢 , I also have a boxer, boxer lab mix and she is the sweetest girl, out of all my dogs she is the sweetest, she is the most calm when it comes to visitors, she usually recognizes them unlike my other dogs that take a minute to recognize them lol, she is so sweet. But if there’s a stranger she doesn’t that wants to invade my house, she would be the dog that rips them a new one lol, she is still a boxer and a savage lol
My boxer Winston was also 13 before Christmas when he past, they are part of the family its heart breaking, yours did amazing to get to 14 thats a great age!
5:26
Joe: It was a rough one
Kevin : How rough?
Joe : ruff ruff
this made me laugh more than it should have
Omg loooool 😂😂😂
👏
i'm laughing aND crying
Druth 😂😂😂
When your dog dies, a part of you goes to heaven with him, that’s why it feels like a piece of you is missing
It honestly feels like I’m lost and that I feel so incomplete
even tho i know the most likely outcome of death is absolutely nothing, part of me hopes for something that lets me see the dogs i’ve lost one more time and pet them and watch them run like they did before they got too old.
I've heard some stupid things in my life but wow.
@ ehhh nothing in this life is likely , don’t count heaven/ the after life out you never know ya know
at least your faith allows you to hope in reuniting. the pragmatic views of an antithiest isn't that giving.

My boy died last week. Since then I've cried myself to sleep every night, and have had dreams of petting and hugging him, I even wake up with dried tears on my cheeks. I know things will get better, but oh my God, it's heartbreaking. And right before Christmas.
I'm sorry and I feel your pain I just lost my dog Zeuss 4 hours ago I spent all day yesterday and all night with him I live alone and I work alone I lost my shadow I know how you feel it fucking sucks my pets are my family 😞😭I love you zuess

Prince Vegeta lmaooo fuck off nigga
@@princevegeta9763 Dude, show some respect.
Hardest thing I've ever had to do. Quitting drugs and getting my life together is still not as hard as letting my boy go.
First two things, are things you could controle and have controle over, unlike the last one.
Keep being the real You, no drugs needed.
I can relate. I went through hell and back with my sobriety. Always falling off the wagon. My one dog who was a rescue was with me through all of it. The day I had to put him to sleep, was harder than the day my father died. I've lost a few dogs throughout my life, and they all felt like getting hit by a train but this one was the hardest. Felt like even though I took this dog in when he was stranded, he was the one who rescued me. I might be sober now, but I havn''t been the same since losing him 2 years ago. Took a huge piece of me with him that I will never regret.
dammm this shit scares me
Same. I haven't gone back to drugs but I still struggle with alcohol. I will be ok for months, sometimes years at a time then I relapse. The sense of relief when the alcohol hits my system is almost like air to a drowning man. I have severe anxiety and I've taken all the medications and nothing works. Except Xanax which is worse than the alcohol. I have been on another good streak..almost 9 months now but I still feel like I am white knuckling it. I remember originally listen to this podcast and it got me in the feels..still does today. I lost a puppy when I was in first grade and still think about it at 42.
Nothing will ever replace the love between a dog and his best friend.
It's an unbreakable bound.
My dog of 16 years is being put down right now, he’s had a great life. He was the best dog anyone could have ever asked for. The best. Friendly, loyal, to everyone never a single issue. My best friend growing up, Rest In Peace Apollo, Love you.
The first is the roughest. Appreciate the 16 years tho. Some of the best memories in life.
I had to put down my dog named Apollo too, a few weeks ago. RIP to yours and mine 💔 Maybe they're watching us right at this moment
Putting down my dog of 16 years today, I hope it gets easier. Best dog ever
@@Ingram2614 take your time with it if you can
I'm sorry

Not gonna lie this podcast broke me. I haven’t cried in god knows how long, but to hear these stories and to reflect on my own life as a dog owner from before, hit VERY close to home for me.
Sarkastik Leader bitch
Sarkastik Leader wow I just cryed.....I don't cry... I lost my girl Penny and man did I cry as I held her then I put her in the ground. I have a dog now and I love him and I know he loves me and I will cry again someday. Thanks Joe and kevin.

My boy passed on today. He was just shy of 14 years old. I'm 22 now. He grew up with me.
Seeing him age and deteriorate is one of the worst things I've had to go through in my life. We do not deserve dogs.
I feel for you. But saying Humans don't deserve dogs is just plain stupid and ridiculous.
@@sn3ification We don't though. It is stupid and ridiculous to think otherwise.
Age happens to all of us. Pets teach us the cycle of life. To focus on the worst part is a disservice to the person/pet you’ve had in your life. Remember the good times.
Lost my boy 6 months ago as well. Im 23. Had him for almost 12 years. Raised him from a baby and held him in my arms as he died. The worst pain I've ever felt. I miss him every day
Sorry to hear that brother. Much love.
Took my beloved Westie to be put down yesterday had her for 12 years and as a 49 year old man its the hardest thing I have ever done and even though she was suffering the guilt I feel is tremendous I held her head in my hands when she passed and the loyalty and trust she had right to the end is absolutely breaking my heart.
It’s a wordless bond, but the strength of that bond feels as if you know everything about each other.
I hope you are ok. I honestly understand your pain. Dogs are amazing.
One of the rawest podcasts I've seen. Kevin Smith I salute you for showing vulnerability. You're a true legend.
Kevin Hermans absolutely agree. Both guys were just being real. Everyone has lost a dog. And can feel this. Or will eventually
You know he put up a video where he cried at The Flash or something? The man is amazingly comfortable showing his emotions.
totally! he also cried when he reviewed The Dark Knight Rises and when he talked about Prince the day he passed. Kevin is the best.
You can't control it every time you talk about a Lost pet this is your reaction and it if it's not you're not human or you didn't love it
The hardest moment of my life was losing my mother. Even after five years, I find myself dreaming she's still alive, only to wake up crying from the shock of being instantly reminded that she's gone.
Stay strong bro 🙌🏼
I'm sorry. I guess my situation is somewhat similar. My Father was amazing but we didn't have the closest relationship and I always wanted one.
I think part of my brain still thinks he's alive. I think of a nice vacation spot that he wanted to visit or a conversation we should have (he loved conversations on weird topics) - then the realization that he's not there hits me like a blow to the heart. There's no one to talk to within my family really. It sucks sometimes, I feel that men are supposed to take things like this on the chin and it's not right
@@Initium1000 sometimes it’s just good to cry a little. I have similar feelings about my grand dad who passed last year. I feel like all we can do is remember all the great things we’ve done with our lost loved ones and hope to make the most of the ones we still have with us. 🖖
Wow.. same for me except just over 4 yrs. I just wish this shit got easier
Hug's
I feel for these men. When I was a kid I accidentally left the gate open. My dog ran on the road. I didn’t know. I was upstairs at the time when some of my friends said they saw a dog got ran over. I couldn’t find my dog so I went to see. As I got closer I saw it was mine. She was barely alive, I picked her up and as I got closer to my yard she looked at me and passed away. I cried in front of everyone. I miss her.
Same thing 3 mos ago, I'm the mom of 5 kids, he got out the yard while I was weeding. My fault.... fucking destroyed
Ouch. You got me there!
I legit have the same story except I saw it all happen
Had a similar situation with my cat... accidentally left the door open grabbing groceries next thing I know I heard a loud thud if it was my cat seizing in the road after being hit by a car.Very traumatic scene holding him until his final breath.
happened to me as a kid... accidentally didn't shut gate tight when I was playing w/friends in the summer & got a call a bit later from the lady who managed the Iceberg Drive-In (old school style burger & shake place just up the street) who got our number from our dog's tags telling us she had our dog, which sadly was hit right in front of the place.... long story short, vet tried to save it, but it was suffering & we ended up having to put it down
My precious cat died in my arms yesterday morning after being attacked by dogs. It's 7am and I havent slept or eaten since she died. The only time I have felt pain like this was when my mother passed away. It's crazy how you can form such a strong connection with a little fur baby. Theres 4 ppl in my household and she sleep in a different bed each night, loved us all unconditionally.
Omg I am sooo sorry. Animals are the greatest. Their love is the most unconditional love on this earth

Hey I know I’m three months late but I’m also 19 and feel the same way. We just gotta wait for the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you are feeling better !
One of the toughest days of my life was when my dog died in early 2013. She was almost 13 years old and she was my dog since I was literally in middle school. I had graduated high school, joined the army, went overseas twice, got married all with having that dog. It was rough saying goodbye to that dog that I had grown up with. I totally understand. But now I have another dog, Mr. Perry, and he's about 3, give or take. I've had that boy for two years now and I know that it's gonna kill me when he eventually dies. But I can't even handle the thought of thinking about that.
Sorry to hear my friend. I don't know why i care to share this online, not much to comment but regarding my animals I'll put myself aside. Last year a family member in a delusional state let my dog out, he was hit by a car and passed away a few hours later on his way to the vet at the age of 4. My son begged for a new dog earlier than we were ready, and after giving in we had our new pup from the pound (7 month old boxer pit) 1 month later. He took over the house quickly and attached himself to my 3 year old daughters side. 1 week later our cat of 9 years had his legs give out from blood clots, my wife had to leave work to say her goodbye as it was her cat before knowing me. A week after that our dog from the pound, "Ducker" as he was named thanks to letting our son name him had fallen Ill. We had his stomache pumped putting us nearly in debt for him to return feeling fine.
1 week later he fell ill again and worse. I watched my dog turn to skin and bone. Every day i boiled him chicken and gave him unflavored pedialite though a childrens oral medicine syringe. About a week later after not getting better be refused all food. I ran out of options knowing he'd be dead in 24 hours if he didnt eat. I did what some should call stupid, but i smoked some pot and blew it in his nose over and over. I had no tolerance and got myself stoned out of my mind and thought he'd either die a bit more relaxed with me or finally eat. He ate 1 hour later. 1 more week of helping him to his feet and he was back on his own. This dog means everything to me. He he 1 and a half now, he pulls me on 3 mile skateboarding misions a couple times a week, learned to swim in river currents like a champ and most importantly he sits at my daughter's bedside to sleep whether she is home or not. In fact, i was pulled from my nap today with the words "your dogs out and the fucker keeps running when i get close, i give up". What a good boy, came to me the second he saw my skateboard. Stupid long comment, but i guess some of us just like to share stories of our good boys.
@@JustOneMoreTaskMom Thanks for sharing that. The vast majority of comments you see online are pretty negative and toxic. However, occasionally you find this random, beautiful, and profound stuff from complete strangers, but is still emotionally meaningful. I think people should open up more and hide their feelings less. For whatever that’s worth, I appreciated hearing your story.
I wont sugar coat it....it wont ever heal not even when your 45 yrs old. My cat came to us when I was 7 yrs old and died when I was 25 yrs old. I'm 41 and somedays I'll think of him and cry. But there will be times in the future you can laugh and smile over memories and not hurt....I promise
RIP to Missy. Never cried as hard for a human. Think about her every day.
I had a cat for over twenty years im 29 now. Literally found this cat when I was 5 years. She was around 22 when she died. I'll never forget taking her in to the vet I couldn't even speak to them due to the fact I'm choking over my tears and trying to get my words out. I wasn't even a cat person but Mitten was just my baby for so long that it didn't matter. God I loved her so much and she loved me. Slept with me every night. I'll miss her forever.
Damn onions
Fuck man, I cried at the end of the video and you squeezed a few more tears out of me. Losing a pet is fucking hard, man.
Sorry for your loss ❤
I had a relationship with my cat like this but she only lived for 4 years. She was so friendly to everyone it was like she was a puppy or some shit. Then she slowly stopped eating, drinking, and got kidney disease. Even tho she was nice to everyone.. try to stick a needle in her for the IV to treat her that would’ve extended her years by 10? Fuck no she wouldn’t have it so we had to take her into the vet to have them do it 3x a week instead of 5. She died sleeping in my bed with me.
It's beautiful when you see humans love their animals like this.
I just lost my dog a few hours ago. I came home from the vet to this podcast, at this very moment.. This really mean't a lot to me.
Camaross b I lost my 17 year old today
I don't even have animals but my feels for you guys..... god. From a stranger on the internet I'm truly sorry
I feel your pain. I have an old cat that's not been eating or drinking very much for a few weeks now. he eats just enough wet food to get by, but I fear he is getting close to a point that I do not want to think about. Few things are as heartbreakingly painful as having to let go of our great animal friends.
Sorry brother.
Camaross b sorry homie all dogs go to heaven
Lost my boxer earlier this year, 44 yrs old and ive never cried more in my life. Dog is the only animal that will love you unconditionally. They are gods true gift to humanity imo.
Amen

I just saw this clip, told myself not to watch it because of the title, but I watched it anyway. I'm going through this with an aging, loved dog of 15 years. I don't wish that pain on anyone. One of the most painful experiences to go through. Watching someone you love so much, deteriorate in front of your eyes and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Heartbreaking
Lost my choc lab 5 years ago, and I still think about her everyday. I have her as my Lock Screen at night so I always get to see her again. It’s one of the worst pains I’ve ever had!
Going through this right now too. Every second of it is hard.
My dog passed away last year, I took care of him the best I could, fed him salmon and steaks, everything i could give him. When i went to put him down I was with him. The pain was unbearable to lose him. A year later it still hurts and I think it always will, but i'm happy my dog came into my life, I found him in a park when he was a puppy and he lived a great 14 years. If you have a dog, give them love and happiness as if everyday was their last. They're all special.
Your dog had a good owner. All dogs deserve what your dog had. Nothing can fill the void you have, but you can share your compassion with another dog on death row waiting to get adopted. I hope you find the strength to do so.
@73Corbin lmao
David Rodriguez he found you in that Park. You found each other it was meant to happen. They never really leave just the body. The soul becomes part of your soul.
@DECIMUS MAXIMUS it shouldn't but that's just how we're programs sometimes I know people that lost their dogs 10 plus years ago and you mentioned it and it was like they lost them yesterday they're just part of you the fact that you grieve and regret sometimes, shows the love you had
I literally treat my dog like my child.. I love him so much.. I would take a bullet for my dog. I know that sounds crazy but it’s true man. No one shows me as much love as my pittie “chunk” . Good ol boy
@@ShinyChadCat My first thought was to say something foul to you but ill just say please shut up. 😁👍🏾
My dog is my boy. I take Perry everywhere I can take him, even if he stays in the car for just a few minutes while I'm in the store, as long as it's not too hot or cold. Perry boy loves to go out and meet people and just kiss everyone. He's about 3, give or take. Other than my girlfriend, that dog is hands down my best friend. I'd do just about anything for that boy.

We just put our 15 year old labradoodle down this morning and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. This is hitting us very hard. I know that it was time for him but I’m going to miss boy
I was 23 when we had to put down my dog of 17 years. At that point, had no real memory of life without her in it. She made the good times better, and the bad ones just bearable enough. When the time came, the vet came to my house and I carried her to her favorite chair. As they put the drugs in her, I stroked her hair and nuzzled her nose while singing to her. Once it was over, I carried her to the truck to be taken to the vet clinic to be cremated. I then went back into my house and destroyed anything I could get my hands on. I'm 31 now, and it's still the most devastating experience of my life. She would always scratch at my door, once the house was settled for the night, to jump on my bed to go to sleep. In the later stages, I took the mattress off the box spring and put it on the floor so she didn't have to jump. For many years, I would sometimes hear that scratch on the door, and I'd open it every time hoping for the impossible. I could live to 100, and she will still be the best friend I'll ever have
She must've been a really healthy dog to be able to live 17 years. I'm sure you took great care of her! Sorry to hear about her passing away. I've got a 4 month old lab puppy and I already catch myself thinking about him passing away someday. I'm 19 right now and he'll probably be gone by the time I'm close to 33. I have no idea how I'll cope with it
I wish I could go back to spring day in the year 2000 life was so easy all my family was still alive. Ever since then it's been nonstop death and despair I asked God if he's out there to show me a sign and nothing happens . I just want some sign I don't care what it is.. it never comes. Anybody that has ever had a pet that they had to put down. It will stick with you forever and ever. You'll never get over it you'll learn to cope a bit, but you'll never get over it

Sorry to break this to you.. but the single answer system you learned in school is not what I learned through experience in life. Life isn’t school, I would suggest that you analyze everything even the seemingly obvious things on multiple levels.

Pets are apart of your life but you’re their whole life. Make every moment count.
When a pet dies, it isn't hard because of how much you loved them, but because of how much they loved you.

My dog just passed away today, I found her this morning, and... It's the worst feeling I've ever felt. She was my best friend, 15 years by my side, a whole life shared together has come to an end. It hurts a lot, knowing that every time I come home, she wont be there to light up my life... Feels like a part of my heart just vanished, all the love she gave me, I will remember every good time I spent with her. Rest in peace, I will look for you in heaven, Güera. 🖤

@@badcornflakes6374 Absolutely not your fault in the slightest, never feel like it is. I'm really sorry that happened.
that moment when you see the vets car pull up to your house is absolutely soul destroying... after it happened i ran outside to cry my eyes out and even the vet and his assistant came out after me crying as well and gave me a massive hug. the expression 'a dog is a mans best friend' is one of the most honest statements i have ever heard in my life. my heart goes out to each and everyone of you who has lost their best buddy
Rip pocho, my life partner for 17 years, we were born the same year and my grandma decided to buy my a dog so I can play with him when I grew up.
Dogs are angels.
That's basically your brother / son he was probably so dependent on you and you stuck with him for 17 years and you will probably dependent on each other. I wonder where would humanity be without dogs to love us unconditionally and to be with us in good times and bad. Life is just not fair to have to say goodbye at such a young age
My dog has helped me overcome depression and anxiety and I can't even imagine the thought of losing my little buddy. It's like you have this little life who loves you to death and would take anything from you without losing the enthusiasm and to think of a future without that quadrupedal embodiment of pure love and joy is just hard.

“How’d he write for you?”
“It’s a joke joe.”
Oh god that was so good. Joe’s gotta be out of his mind high doing this podcast.
tbh, it was a perfectly legit question. Kevin could've meant the dog inspired him to write based on how he set that up.
Jimmy Zappa sure thing brah. If that’s the setup you heard but I got what he was doing.

Barry Celtic Yeah for sure. I thought he was going down that road. I just thought it was funny coz Joes reaction reminded me of times I’ve been so high I missed the joke and it just cracked me up.
And Kevin’s response. I couldn’t even work out if he says he was virile or he was feral. But it was like that’s Silent Bob for ya! Lol
I loved my dogs more than anything I've ever loved, and that's why I will never get another animal again. Not because I don't love them, but because I honestly can not handle losing another best friend like that. Or worse, fucking up and not making their life the best life a living being can have. This is why when I see people hurting animal, I become physically aggressive. It's been three years since I lost my two friends and I've just not been the same.
I hate when people say Oh you can just get another one. That's like saying if you're child dies you can just have another one. Ughh so ignorant and heartless. They all have completely different personalities. I've had dogs since I was in my moms womb. I've never not had a dog. And I miss each one that passed in a different way ❤.
It makes me think about when my neighbor died. I never cried like that before. We both lived alone in neighboring cottages in upstate NY for 1/4 of my life, and became very close. Such a compassionate human being. The world will never know what a great man he was. Rest In Peace Eric Sternberg.

I lost two brothers and my mother and still nothing hurt this bad. I had this puppy since he was less than 6 weeks old over a quarter of my life. All the time and effort to try to keep him healthy by walking him even in the winter time taking him to the pet store and walking him through all 20 aisles at least three times. 12 and 1/2 years later he dies of heart failure. Sometimes I think to myself there can't be a god

Having a friend die, animal or human, is heartbreaking. A very good friend of mine passed almost exactly 3 years ago and man I just want those times back. There's no replacing a friend

What Kevin said towards the end is what makes owning a dog so devastating: when you have to decide the fate of your best friend, your best friend who trusts and loves you like no other. That is a hard reality.
I worked as a vet tech for 10 years and witnessed and assisted in many euthanasia’s. Most times it is obvious the owners are doing the right thing at the right time. Even so, when you are involved and the owner stays with their pet it is so difficult. For everyone.
Only a coward would leave there pet alone to get injected

Lost my lifelong partner in crime recently really is comforting to hear a different perspective on how grieving is for people
Had to watch my dog die in my arms. It was heart breaking seeing her life slip away and I couldn't do anything to help her but comfort her let her know I'm there for her. I don't I'll ever forget how helpless I felt at that moment. R.I.P. Nana.
Same here. My furry baby died in my arms on 27 of may. I had to watch her last breath because I wanted her to know I m with her until the end. I feel so sad, angry, guilty, broken. And her last moments and her little lifeless body just haunts me.
Seems like you were a very good parent. It's tough. I got to be honest People sometimes I could give two craps about but an animal dying eats right into my soul
@@pufaricid5529 somebody seriously needs to start local support groups because it is so hard dealing with it talking to family members who really don't know quite how it feels to be even remotely compassionate. People just don't understand how it feels to lose an animal unless they've lost one

@@stevenovalle9967 i m sorry for your loss. It s been over two months since my furr baby died. it s all bullshit. It doesnt get easier. This excruciating pain is my companion for life.
For those reading, when that day comes you have to put your pet down, be there with them when it happens. Just so that way they are with someone they love with they go to sleep. It'll be more comfortable for them.
My biggest regrets was when one of my dogs had to be put down from old age complications. I was so sad that I refused to go to the vet and said goodbye at the car. As hard and sad as it was, I wish I was there for my dog.
I just put my dog down a week ago, and I knew I had to be there. The hardest thing for me is letting go of the moment when I couldnt feel his heart beat and trying to find it... God I know thats so sad but I wish he was still here. Be there for your dogs, they love you so much, give them everything you have too.
I was at a after school program where you lived there for the school year. My dog was dying of cancer at the time, and my family did their best to help her get better. I wasn't able to be there when they put her down. I honestly don't know how i would've handled it if i were there. But saying goodbye to her was the hardest thing ive ever done. She was my best friend 😢
I do agree, or at the least have another family member or person who the dog is comfortable with be there. I did it with my cat and while I'm sure she was a little out of it before the shot, I could definitely tell it helped keep her calmer knowing her mommy was with her.
And I made myself tear up. 😢🥺 On to happier videos.
I held her, it was horrible, but I owed it to her. I've never hugged, kissed or given as much love to anything in my life and just like that she's a cold carcass laying on the table.
my dog of 18yrs was put down 20hrs ago. He died in my arms with my voice in his ear. Its one of the hardest things I have ever had to endure but I owed it to him to be there. I have no kids or spouse so I am lost at the moment.
This is my favourite JRE ever. The honesty and the humanity in Joe's voice and words are profound. The friendship he had with both the puppy and his vet are clear in his fave, his voice slightly trembling and his eyes. I'm so pleased to have seen this as usually Joe is all "Whoa, that's amazing!" and "have you tried DMT?" Not always, but you get my drift.
I remember when my dog died. I was at school and my mom texted me “He’s in a better place now”. I remember trying to hold on my tears the whole day and when I finally got home I bursted into tears. I miss him everyday and it seems things have only gotten worse since he’s left. Miss ya everyday jack 😔

Fucking ninjas chopping onions.
MICHAEL VICK IS MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one of the best quotes I have heard in a long time. Two "ninjas chopping onions". They are both ninjas in their own right. And instead of chopping onions in the kitchen, their chopping them over bong hits in a studio talking about man things. Like how much we love dogs. (I know women love dogs too, but for many guarded non-emotional damaged men, dogs are literally the only beings they trust connecting with). I never saw my dad cry. Ever! Except when his dog died. It was pretty freaky for a kid to see such a hard man, uncontrollably sobbing. Like there was this soft side of him I never knew existed (I just thought he was a sadistic prick). Dogs can do that to you. This is what it looks like when real men cry. Ninjas chopping onions. Love it! Thanks for the quote.
What does this comment mean? Weird
Was like I had onions rub in my eyes and squeezed into my heart the day I said goodbye to my baby.

Heart breaking. My cat of 20years had to be put down this year and it hurts so much, my mum and I took it in turns to cuddle him when it was happening, it's weird cause every time he went to the vets he'd panic but not this time. When he did pass I carried him tight to me in the car as I hated the idea of him just going back into a cage. When we got home we took it in turns again to cuddle him and say our goodbyes. He was still warm when we put him in his box with his favourite little faux fur blanket and his small jar of dreamies as he adored those (he was very much led by his tummy and it just seemed right to my mum and I).
For ages we kept feeling like we killed him, even though we knew he couldn't go on in pain and it was kinder on him. He was blind, found out he had heart murmurs and started to loss control of his body, going round in circles. Miss him everyday and still cry for him often.
It’s just inevitable, if you ever owned a dog you felt that crushing moment. Don’t resort to that moment because you miss them, think about how much fun you had with them and be excited that you will see them again.
We won’t see them again tho. Literally just had my dog out down hours ago fucking devastated

Tip for any owners with dogs with weak legs! My chocolate lab is 15 years old and for most of her life lay in a bed on the floor that she had to stand up to get out of. Last year I bought a raised bed (about half a foot above the ground) that allows Coco to ease her weight onto her front legs while she stretches out the back legs as she gets out of bed and I couldn't believe how much she improved - still very wobbly but after a couple of mins she's stable and walking around. There's no way she would still be with us without this change although the end isn't too far away :( Hope this helps anyone that's dog is suffering from the same thing.
For all the haters that say Joe is fake this video should be an eye-opener. Never trust anybody that doesn't like dogs or animals in general.
He also loved meth. I bet you feel real conflicted now.
he actually was not. But let's say that he was, what is your point? that would mean that even someone evil can have good things about him. Pot Pot, Stalin, and Mao were all meat eaters btw
Joe Rogan has had a very uplifting effect on me in what is definitely one of the worst times of my life. Fuck anyone who wants to talk shit about him. And "fake"? There's indisputable evidence that he does all of the things that he talks about. People=Shit~Slipknot
He hunts, so clearly he doesn't like animals. He loves pets, which is different. Very touching moment shared by both of them
Hunting does not necessarily mean dislike for animals. He hunts in a humane way as he shoots them in the heart. I believe he respects the animals he hunt. Just like Native Americans.
Dogs may only be with us for a fraction of our lives, but we're with them from birth til death. Spend as much time with them as you can, let them know how much you love them as frequently as possible and when it's time for them to cross that rainbow bridge you be a man and hold their paw.
Ben Brady I agree yell at them as little as possible don't get frustrated with them no matter how much they piss you off because they always have your back. If you treat them like gold you have nothing to be ashamed of after they are gone no regrets either
Lost my baby Napolean yesterday I'm torn so badly, it's incredible the connections we have with animals they are so giving and vulnerable and are full of unconditional love. ❤️
I cried when my cat died. I got her when she was 2, and had her for 18 more years, from when I was 16 until 34. Like that cat lived through every moment of my life until that time. Luckily I was there when we put the cat down, it was so hard but I was thankful that I was the last thing the cat saw. I had promised the cat many times that no matter what, I would always take care of her and I would be the last thing she saw. She was my best friend. I don't know if you believe in this sort of thing, but in her last moments, I swear she gave me a look that said "thank you for everything". Great cat. In time though it heals -- the happy memories far outweigh the end. I was so lucky for it to live 20 happy years too. Cats and dogs are so amazing.
thank you for writing that - I held all my animals for the vet when they had to go. I was with them and saw them stare back at me and fade away as I held and comforted them, I wished them peace but found it hard to live with myself as I was actually the one ending their existence while they trusted me. I felt like I betrayed them and cried and cried every time and for a long time. I can barely see the screen to see what I'm typing now.. anyhow, worst one was the last - my feral cat mimi, hated everyone but loved me. I was the only one that could hold her in my arms, she'd scratch and hiss and go apeshit if anyone approached her. I'm happy for the time I've had with all my animals, and I am grateful for your comment.

i lost my cat 8y ago and still cry sometimes,she was amazing ,she knew i was coming home minutes before i showed up at the door..
Cats and dogs are pure souls,they have no or very little ego ,they just love us ,they do not care about our moods,social class,$,looks ,they just love us ,period
They are angels,not sure we deserve them.

@@bmcknight516 It's the hardest thing I've ever done... and I've had to do it twice. It's cliche but in time the happy memories far outweigh the bad. And eventually you are ready to acquire more cats and help more of them. :)

When I was younger I'd rationalise by telling myself it'll be okay when he passes, I'll be older and stronger, but the older I became the more attached to him I found myself getting. The weaker he got with age, the more dependant on us he became, which is where I felt the true true bond form.
I'm all cried out at this point, I just feel lost and empty, which I'm sure most of you reading this can resonate with.
When he left this life, a part of me that I'll never get back left with him.
But part of him will forever live inside my heart.
It’s getting close to a year for when I had to make my goodbye to my dog Spike, I had him since I was 7 and he lived till I was 21, the deepest pain I ever had to go through was holding as he was dying of congestive heart failure, my mom and niece by my side while I just sit there falling apart losing my best pal, never take anything or anyone for granted wether it’s a pet, friend or family member, they seem like they’ll live forever but we all live on a time limit, cherish every moment you can get ❤️
I lost my dog 4 weeks ago. I thought that I was ready to let her go after having her for 12 years. I never thought that I would miss her so much, and I didn't really see the point of living. I thought I couldn't live without her, because we moved a lot and she was my constant best friend. I'm getting better, but it's hard to sleep without hearing her snoring. I know it sounds stupid getting so worked up over a dog, but it hurts so much. I just want my Jazmine back
Sorry to hear you lost your dog, it really doesn't sound stupid, they are amazing animals, they are our family and we have bonds with dogs that are extremely real and full of real feelings, I felt sadder losing my dog than I have any human family member, he was by my side for 13 years, pretty much every day, no many humans get that close to each other.

So sorry for your loss, and I absolutely agree with your statement. I was so close with her, it feels like a piece of my heart went with her.
Not stupid at all, as im sitting here scrolling through the comments i can hear my four legged best friend snoring as he lays at my feet. Nothing stupid about that comment at all, unconditional love from day one. Always glad when you come home no matter what, its really hard saying goodbye to all that.
I promise you, you dont sound stupid. It’s not “just a dog” we both know that. I hope you continue to get better. Just had to put my boy down he died in my arms. I told myself I couldn’t do it, and I was gonna let them do it by themselves. But I just couldn’t, so I thugged it out with him every step of the way. It was my birthday and he was my first pet. I’ll forever be changed by this. I randomly hear him whining when I try to sleep. This fucked me up for life.
Same man same
Just lost my buddy, she was a 15 year old Basset Hound that I adopted when she was 10. She passed on last night from cancer and it's been wrecking me.
Just lost my dog Tuesday that we got as a puppy made it all the way to ten years old it was a great run !! We watched each other grow up sorry for your loss man
you're wonderful for adopting an older dog. i did the same a few years ago when i adopted a senior dog from a shelter. they weren't sure how old she was, but they categorized her as "9+"- my darling maggie, a deliciously bear-like cocker spaniel. i had 3 beautiful years with her, and she died in early may of this year. my goodness the grief.
@@jessicataylorwalton Yeah, the silence is specially bad. I was so used to hearing her tappy taps walking around everywhere. Also her being so happy when we came from with groceries cause she knew we always got her a treat or something. It's been over 5 months since and not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about her. Older dogs are special for sure.
We just lost our 17 year old dog last week. He was tragically knocked down by a family friend in our driveway from a freak accident. We’re all absolutely heartbroken and can’t stop thinking of all the what ifs. Feel like I’ll never get over this :(
Emma Bradley The guilt feeling is the worst feeling about losing a dog . After that is the emptiness. You are a damn good parent though for 17 years. I know it doesn't bring you comfort nothing does .I just wanted to remind you
Hopefully you forgave that family member because I can’t imagine the guilt I would feel forever
I swear, I’ve seen more men get more emotional about losing their dogs than their own human family members. The emotional connection you develop is strong and deep. I tear up looking at my dog and thinking this day will come.
