Rate my soul dogs last meal: bacon wrapped filets. Bonus: picture of doggo and the beer we shared.
RIP and respect. Your dog crossed rainbow bridge with a full heart because of you. 🫡
❤️
My condolences friend. Lost my best friend (cat) of 22 years a couple years ago, thankfully I was able to bury him myself so I go and sit with him.
I can't say it'll get easier, but you learn to tolerate it. Sometimes it'll randomly hit you. My house still doesn't feel the same without him in it. It's almost like I can't feel his energy anymore. But as long as you love em as best as you can, you did the right thing.
Rescued a cat a year back. The kids around the neighborhood yanked his tail and hit him with bikes to the point that he had a fracture in his tail when we found him and he wagged funny.
First time we saw him, a beautiful white cat with one green eye and one blue eye begging for attention at a school bus stop and we just assumed he was someone’s pet. A month later we found him dirty and skinny so my wife and I brought him out some cat food but decided to say fuck it and take him in. I didn’t even have to try and convince him to follow me. He just followed me straight into my home with no hesitation. We brought this cat in and spent a couple thousand getting all his problems fixed.
By a couple months with us he was clean, well fed and all muscle and we had him for a good year. He was really good with the kids and loved attention.
We went on a vacation and had someone make sure to go in and feed them and he was all good when we got back and suddenly he starts to get lethargic and started sitting in the tub in his own pee and rapidly started to decline in the span of two days.
We finally decided to bring him to the vet to see what was wrong and decided to see if we could give him to someone that could afford all his problems but they said it was too late and he ended up having urinary problems and had to be put down that same afternoon. They said it would have cost thousands of dollars to help him with a large chance that he still wouldn’t survive and we just didn’t have the funds after vacation when he showed no signs of heath issues prior. We couldn’t even afford the cost of cremation afterwards since this happened so suddenly.
He was the first ever pet that I personally had to bury and I hated the feeling of throwing dirt on one of my best friends in his little bag in the pitch black of night trying to fight through tree roots the entire time. It just felt like I was hurting him even though he was no longer there and I personally kissed his little head, pet him and looked him in the eyes as the injection took him away from me.
I just hope we made his last year better than living outside eating garbage and trying to survive with winter around the corner. It’s been over a year and I still miss my boy Chives (we name our pets based on food for some reason.)
You absolutely did. No doubt. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
I know the feeling all too well my friend. Thank you for your kind words. 22 years is an amazing amount of time for an animal.
That's the only thing I'll miss when I move from this house. Both of my rescues are buried here. One made it to 16.5 and the other to 17.5. I'm in my early 40s, so I had them for a good portion of my life since I got them when they were under 1 year old.
Jasmine Buttswaggin and Jormax Greybeard were such loving dogs. I think it's because they were abused by their first owners and I'm a total pushover for puppy dog eyes.
Beautiful story. Godspeed to both of you. I know he had so much fun and excitement, especially eating those last times with you. Now he’s dreaming of you, waiting to see you again one day. 😇 ❤️
Thank you! He really did, he loved playing ball and he would quickly go from 100mph to 5mph as soon as the ball was put away. Very special guy we were so lucky.
Drunk and full of chocolate, steak and bacon. We could all be so lucky. Good job homie. Your dog knew they were loved. You did your job.
He was so loved man. I miss my bubs. Thanks for the kind words. All I can hope is I go out similarly ❤️
And a full belly!🐶
Every dog's last wish, the forbidden full dark chocolate lava cake
He went full face into the cake, it was the brightest part of a sad day. My wife said he reminded her of the movie Matilda when the kid stuffs the cake lol.
I'm sorry for your loss. Hope I get the chance to send my boy off with such a great meal and share a beer when the time comes. Take care of yourself <3
I hope so too. It’s been our special goodbye ritual for a quite a few years now. Totally worth it if you’re allowed it. Hope you have a great day.
You’re not crying , I’m Bawling. Heart to heart. He’ll be back in due time
Can’t wait to see my bubs again. Thank you for the kind words.
Ya know, my girl never gets human food, she’s almost 8, they don’t usually live past ten, I think I’ll do the same for her on her last day. Thank you for the inspiration.
Absolutely do it. But don’t focus on the end until it comes, you never know how lucky you might get.
Oh man, that good boi was lucky to have you as partner. He went with a full belly and a fuller heart 🫡
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
Ok. I'm crying now. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad your dog had a wonderful meal.
Thank you, sorry for the tears. He was the best. ❤️
God bless you and your doggo… he was loved and went out in the best way possible ❤️
One would be so lucky to go out like that. God speed, doggo
I am sorry for your loss. Love for your pupper
RIP to your best boy. He was the goodest of boys and I'm sure both of your lives were improved by each other.
Sorry for your loss mate
Sorry for your loss. I made my dog a bacon wrapped filet and she got a bowl of ice cream the night before her last day.
Thank you. I’m certain she was just as special as my big guy. ❤️
Fuck, man. I'm sorry. That's the worst. He's no longer suffering.
Fuck cancer. My little man is 12.5 years old, just had a second mast cell tumor removed. He's a strong boy, and still acts like a puppy. Hoping for no more reoccurrences, and to be able to spoil him rotten just like this when it is his time.
Thank you for sharing this, even though it made me cry until I got a headache. Take care of yourself <3
A+
Vibes, my guy.
My wife and I are about to load our kids into the car for an unexpected trip to her Dad’s house for the night. My wife lost her mom about 18 months ago and now her dad just found out Wednesday that his dog has a tumor on his spleen and massive internal bleeding and needs to be put down next week. The dog was one of the last things my FIL and his widow got together before she got sick. It’s going to be a tough weekend. Especially since my kids are only 2 and 4, so explaining death to the older one will be a very tough thing to do.
I feel for you. I know this is going to sound weird because I just called Harper (who this post is about) my soul dog, but my first soul dog was before him. He was the second. But the similarities in personality they shared were uncanny sometimes.
Anyway, I am sorry to hear about what you’re heading into but the one thing that stuck out about what you shared was my first soul dog had the same thing. Tumor on his spleen.
I wish you all the best and I hope the universe brings you and your FIL peace sooner than later.
Saying goodbye is the ultimate price we pay for the love we receive, that’s how I look at it anyway. Dogs over humans any day of the week.
Look up Mr. Rogers episodes about death and loss. It’s how I leaned into the family cat’s (soul cat for me) death. He was a sweetie and let go while on the porch with me 2 hours before the vet came to the house. His last kindness was to not make me make the decision to let him go
We lost our dog a few months ago, and I got some books about pet loss that are aimed at kids. Our toddler isn’t even 2, so they’re probably more for me than her in our case, but maybe they could help your 4 yo?
I’m crying, sorry for your loss. You seem like you were the perfect pet parent and it sounds like you made their last moments some of the best.
Thank you. Your username gave my wife and I a much needed laugh after those kind words.
I’m glad I made ya’ll laugh! Just know you did what’s best for your fur baby, and that they were well loved and happy for the little bit of time you had them.
Warms the heart
❤️
My heart hurts. I wanted to do something like this but it came out of nowhere and I had no time. 10000/10 mandatory steak rating. Your souls will remain together no matter where your bodies go 💗
I am so sorry. We have definitely been through that situation as well. And it is all that much harder. Sometimes I used to wonder what it worse, know it’s coming from a distance and trying to decide the timeline or suddenly. But even though it feels like time is your enemy, you appreciate the smallest extra moments. We have lost two dogs suddenly without warning and they deserved all the same.
Sincerely I’m sorry you went through that, I know how it feels but you ultimately can only look back on the good times and know you did everything you could even when chaos and heartbreak show up suddenly. There is never a wrong choice in the end.
He’s going to be waiting for you with a full steak supper when you cross the rainbow bridge someday ❤️
He better! ❤️
My cat died last year. He was my first ever real pet. He loved beer. Glad you got to have one last go with him and I'm sorry.
I hope my big guy and your kitty are sitting at the bar sharing a beer together right now, unknowingly that we had this random exchange on the internet and we are talking about them 😆
Interesting! I love spoiling my cats but hate beer, but you all are making it sound appealing to them. Got a brand in mind?
Beer is not healthy for animals, it's even poison for us honestly. But very small amounts and not often shouldn't be an issue but honestly I just wouldn't recommend it to be safe. There is a company out there called Good Boy Dog Beer but as far as I can tell it's pretty much just variations of broth in a can and good marketing.
Instead of beer maybe try something like broth, they will love it and it's not harmful.
He is a good boy, and you are a great owner buddy, he will rest just fine. My condolences
Thank you ❤️
Awwww such a sweet boy. It’s never easy. We just had to put or 14 year old to sleep. He had burgers and chicken
14 is a wonderful amount of years. Very sorry for your loss, glad you had the same opportunity to send them off properly ❤️
Epic meal! I can’t imagine the joy he felt sharing that with you! RIP buddy
Lost my best girl back in April. It still sucks. Sending good vibes your way.
He looks like a good boy
Good boy is an understatement with this one. But he would absolutely love you for that. One of my favorite memories is asking him if he was a good boy from the other side of the house where he couldn’t even see me and hear his tail start thumping the floor or couch.
My condolences. Until you develop a special bond with a dog, people don’t realize how hard it is to lose one. I can tell he had a great life and was a good boy. Glad you got to experience a special meal together. We’ll see them all again someday, I truly believe that. Angels may open the pearly gates but it’ll be the dogs that are first to greet us.
What a great looking dog! Man, sorry he is gone. You did wonderful by him.
Thank you for your kind words.
We just lost our buddy to the Big C a few days ago, this hits hard. Glad that yours had such a loving and kind human in his life ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss, it's the worst thing on this earth. Hope you're doing well, take it slow and remember the good moments. Wishing you the best.
Sent him out in style! Sorry about your loss.
Thank you.
When it was time for my big girl to go, I made her a big fat cheeseburger and we shared two beers together. She always loved the bottom parts of my bottles of beer so I got her her own for the first time ever. The pain dulls over time. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing, means a lot.
Ok. I didn’t think I was going to cry, but…I am.
I’m sorry for your loss, my friend. With the way you sent him off, I have no doubt that dog lived a long, loving life.
Thank you…for that.
Love him and what you did for him. RIP to a great boy.
Man my girl is getting up there, she's got some pain when she gets up or lays down and this post is really hitting me
Sorry, don't focus too much on the end. Enjoy the mellow moments. Seniors are the best. Also there might be some things to help out with the pain. Our guy was having a hard time on our flooring at the end and we found these stick on grippy pads that helped him out a ton. Not sure if they would help your girl but worth looking into if its mostly on hard flooring. Wish you the best!
You’re not crying , I’m Bawling. Heart to heart. He’ll be back in due time.
When I was young, probably like 8 my dog got diagnosed with heart cancer, after beating it 2 times. We gave her a chocolate lava cake, Reese’s, steak, and those cookies from Walmart you either love or hate(you know what they are) just like you and your lil man. Got a 22 year old tearin up in his car for you, best wishes man. He really looks like the goodest of boys.
So, so sorry for your loss. What a meal to ride out the sunset with
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey I made that beer. Sorry for your loss, but looks like a good last night together!
11/10. Would boop in the afterlife.
❤️🩹
Man. I'm so sorry. This brought tears to my eyes.
Makes me want to cry. I'm so glad you took care of your dog and that you two found each other. We can all feel the love you two shared.
A+ for sending the good boy off in style
Sorry for your loss
Thank you.
My last dog had a brain tumor last year. We ate chocolatr ice cream that night before the vet opened.
Good pup crossing the rainbow bridge. Full of love and yummy steak and bacon. Rip pup.
Here’s to a great meal for a great companion! I’ll be drinking one tonight in his honor.
Sorry for your loss my friend.
Thank you for giving an animal a loving home.
He was one of many, we love all of our animals and we've said goodbye to many over the years. But he was very special to us. Thank you for your kind words.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I usually can’t read these. I become a bawling mess. I had a cat, she had cancer and declined very quickly. She wouldn’t eat. She didn’t even want her favorite treat. I’m so glad that you got to share a great final meal with your bestie. He knew you loved him.
So did your cat. Sometimes we don't get the luxury of picking a timeline or judging quality of life but that's ok. Remember that you still loved her all the same either way. Wishing you the best.
I am sorry for your lost may he rest in peace keep your head up I know the feeling brother or sister
Sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you gave him a good last meal. He was lucky to have you as his owner man. Take the time you need, and know we're out here prayin.
May he rest in paradise. Such a good boy.
I came for the steak talk. Damn this got sad. RIP to your buddy dude. Stay strong.
fuck, way to make me cry.
Props to you mate. Just found out my dog had a mass in his stomach. About to biopsy to see what turns up.
Rest well baby boy
I have 3 dogs and this post broke my heart man. Sorry you’re going through this.
Oh man, that’s heartbreaking. Bet you have him a good life though.
good boy
This choked me up
Giving my heart dog an extra big hug tonight, and a shot to remember your pups passing the rainbow bridge. Heart goes out to you

Reposting because the top comment helped me
So sorry man. Nothing I can say but I feel for you
I’m so sorry, RIP ❤️❤️
You're an awesome owner and you have made my week.
What a great send off for a great friend! Cheers to the both of you. May he rest in peace, and may you find peace in the pain. 🍻
why does this make me sad inside? 😭
Very awesome last meal and extremely sorry for your loss. I seriously have tears in my eyes for you both. That was a beautiful goodbye to a beautiful fur baby.
Bummer :(
Sorry for your loss man, great way to say goodbye. Shouldn’t effect kids that much at that age, same exact age of my kids when we lost our pup. We immediately got another one, not sure if that was correct move but it seemed to work.
I'm sure he was stoked on the final meal, my best wishes.
I'm a total cat guy but I understand how difficult it is to lose your best friend.
Looks like he lived a great life.
Cats are every bit the great pet a dog is. My cats are my family.
You're lucky. You got a proper goodbye. I didn't x2.
I'm happy for you. Stay strong, homie.
Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Good man. I lost 2 babies this past year. You did good.
I'm so sorry. We lost my first soul dog and his sister 6 months apart during peak covid. It was awful. My condolences and thank you for your kind words.
It’s going to kill me when my dude passes. It’s just as hard as losing a human. I love the way you sent him out. 🫶
Good boy gets a good last meal ❤️💪🙏
whosagoodog
This is so sweet and so sad at the same time - my heart breaks for the loss you are facing, but I love that you gave him the Michelin star service tonight and let him taste all the amazing things! And that’s a memory you both will have forever. I can’t imagine going thru this with my fur baby, but if/when, I’m going to use your post as inspiration to enjoy the moments together. Sending you love hugs and prayers 🩵🩵🩵🩵
I'm so sorry for your lose.
So sorry for your loss. I lost 2 of my dogs during covid. One already had heart problems and was on medication for it. Other one back legs gave out couldn't walk anymore. Worse day ever.
I’m so sorry OP. RIP, doggo, your human loved you. I’m dreading the day my pups pass. I think the hardest I’ve ever grieved in my life was over my cat, Jefferson, who was my companion through some truly dark times in my life before I got my shit together.
This is so wholesome. Glad pup could go out with a bang. Bet he loved every moment.
No time to read the comments but you are a great human doing this for your dog
As a man who just lost two of my furry friends in the past two months, I feel for you, brother
I’m so sorry for your loss, you did an amazing thing for him. He definitely knew he was loved.
So sorry for your loss. Last one I had to put down was my chocolate lab, Rudy. He was the best. His last meal was a T bone steak. Good on you for caring to share the best with mans best friend.
It’s been many years since Rudy passed but I can still remember feeding him that last meal.
I'm a nurse I work in the ER and ICU. And I also have my own very first dog who's turning 9 in a couple weeks. I want to say thank you for taking care of your doggo. I also have a brother-in-law with brain cancer. Fuck cancer. When I'm very grateful about your story is that you had a chance, the knowledge and timing and preparatory experience to say goodbye. That is not a common experience with death.
I can't tell you how many times over the years a patient is brought in. They leave their house in the morning and walk to the garage. Family walks out the front door and doesn't notice that the car hadn't left yet. The patient collapsed by the car from heart attack and was found later on by a neighbor. They might have said their morning goodbyes but it was not intended to be forever. That's why I say you're lucky that you had the chance to say goodbye properly.
We shall never see his like again.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss OP. He had a great last meal and I'm sure he had a wonderful life
Im so sorry for your loss. Know that they had the best possible time with you before they went. Eating like a king while with their favorite person. I'll hug my pup a bit longer and harder tonight to make sure she knows I love her as much as you loved your bud.
I’m really sorry for your loss.
My condolences, random redditor. Thanks for making his last night a special one!
You're a good dad.
Aww man. Good shit tho. He had a good final meal with his bestie.
I'm really sorry for your loss. I hope he enjoyed his meal it looked fantastic. <3
Rip to your friend. I'm happy that you gave him a good last meal. It's a very difficult thing to do to put someone down that you love, but it's also the most loving thing you can do. They don't deserve to suffer, they deserve to live forever.
He loves you. Always has.
I just made a steak for my dogs last day and Jesus our pups look similar
Thank you for sharing, my condolences. Brindles are the best.
Oh fuck that dog looks exactly like my dog wtf
I’m sorry my man:(. Your pup definitely looked loved.❤️
Hugs man.
🫡 your good boy. RIP.
Damn it bro this makes me wanna cry. My boy is 12 and I know that time is coming way faster than either of us are prepared for, but your boy loves you and is waiting up there with a full belly ready to share another steak. God bless
GAHH Damnit someone hit me with pepper in the fucking FACE! It is in my Godamned eyes!
Great work OP! I like your edit where you say your buddy had a whole chocolate cake, too. Hells yeah. Cheers!
From the looks of how awesome that steak looks, he was definitely love and ate well throughout his life with you. My condolences for your loss. ❤️
Thank you for your kind words.
You are a great owner and person.
I lost my dog a few weeks ago. I bought steaks the morning I could tell something was off with my boy. He passed that afternoon without getting his last meal. I ate the steaks a few days later and cried.
I am so happy to see that your puppy got a delicious last meal and was loved to very end.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Last meal fit for a king!
My thoughts are with you tonight, friend.
I had to do the same thing about a year ago and my heart still hurts thinking about it.
Know that your doggo loved you and felt the love you gave him! We'll meet them again someday.
Thank you so much. I hope so.
"Wait, you been feedin me kibbles and water fot all these years and y'all have been eating and drinking THIS all along? You're lucky I like you human" XD
Its rough going through this. Good job making his last day comfy :)
You’re a legend, that’s all that needs to be said.
Looks fantastic! This is exactly why he loved you so much.
RIP big dog. Looks like he had a great ride and an epic ending. Cheers stranger! Hugs.
Thank you <3
This is beautiful, he’ll be with you always. Each pet takes a piece of you forever when they go, and while the pain can feel insurmountable, the journey and years together make it worthwhile.
Thank you for being there with your best friend til the end, he passed with love in his heart and delicious food in his belly. Til you two meet again ❤️
My heart goes out to you. I’m still mourning my a dog 18 months later. Wish I shared the same type of experience as you. Big hugs 🫂
Nice. Five stars. This brings back bittersweet memories of a day long nonstop feast of BBQ, eggs , ice cream and other treats before my vet came. We had her euthanized at home to lessen the stress. I miss that old gal.
❤️❤️
I hope your heart is filled with the love you felt from your buddy. You gave him a beautiful life. He was part of your journey, let his memory fill your heart with happiness.
I lost my boy to cancer in January, shedding a tear right now for both our boys. Much love from Colorado my friend!!!
Rest easy little brother
Who's been chopping onions again?
Good doggo. Enjoy your steak and beer.
Beautiful. Made me cry. I want a beer too! And bacon wrapped filet minion. You are a good person and they were obviously a great dog. Sorry for your loss. To the Rainbow Bridge
Fuck bro, I’d give both my nuts to make something similar happen. Sunday night my beloved golden threw up and I didn’t think much of it, she was only 8. Went down and slept in front of my deceased father’s door so I let her in. She slept for a couple of hours in front of his laundry basket (haven’t touched that room since he passed). Took her out as it was bed time so she went out but would absolutely not come back inside. Slept in the garage for the first time ever. I slept for maybe 2-3 hours and went back out to check on her only to witness her final couple of minutes. They know and they’re much smarter than us
I am so sorry. We don't always get the opportunity to say goodbye like we want. But your dog sure seemed to know what she wanted in her last moments. They are indeed much smarter and in tune than we remember to give them credit for. Thank you for loving her.
There are two last things to do with your pet.
A good meal of their favourites
Euthanise them at home, not in the scary place
Rest in peace little fella. I bet he enjoyed every bite.
His eyes got big every bite. That’s how you know it was good. Thank you for your kind words.
So, so sorry for the loss of your best four legged friend. 💔 💔 I lost my soul kitty 2 years ago in July and it still hurts. He was just a couple of weeks shy of turning 16. Hate to tell you this, but the hurt stays with you, since you lost a piece of your heart. I guess the good part of it is that the pain becomes a "normal" part of your life and it gets more bearable. I still have a weepy day now and then over my boy, but I also look at the pics I have of him and smile & remember the good time we had when he was here... I also believe in the rainbow bridge and that we will be reunited with all of our fur babies some day, And I love your sendoff for that sweet looking pupper.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Focusing on the good times is definitely how we honor them IMO. It’s a cruel and difficult part of life.
my puppo absolutely Wilding out on some steak for her last dinner, miss you Polly!!! <3
I’m not crying, you are, sir you are a wonderful human I’m sorry for your loss
Thank you for your kind words.
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this, it’s such a beautiful idea. May your doggo rest in peace 🙏
God I hate seeing these. Makes my heart hurt so bad. In the last year, I lost 3 senior kitties (16, 17 & 18) & one was my soul kitty. I'm glad your pup got his favorite things before crossing the rainbow bridge. I wish I could've with my babies but 2 had stopped eating much for their last couple days & one died in her sleep (I'm happy she passed in her own home, though, just wish she hadn't got up from the bed so I could've been holding her when she left).
I wish you the best & just remember it only hurts cuz of the love.
I wish I could have done something like this. My dog died on leap day after a few weeks of just gradual degradation that I thought was auto-immune related. I found out at literally the final hour that she had hemangiosarcoma and there was nothing left to do. At that point she had no red blood cells and could hardly eat.
We had to settle for a pup cup from Starbucks and I stopped her at home one last time where I said fuck it and grabbed her a bowl of cookies and cream ice cream that she was able to eat a little bit of when we got to the vet.
RIP to your pup. I'm sorry. It's extremely hard.
Damn I feel so hard for you. I put my dog down a month ago, he was super sick. Feels like I’ll never be the same, but each day gets better. DM me if you need to vent…or talk steaks haha
Aww hope youre ok op 💕
Had no idea dogs can have beers! Should i try giving mine some ?
Best steak I've seen on here. Did that good dog right.
This is so wholesome I can't describe it in words. Thank you and a lot of hugs.
Reading these comments, sending all the love to all commenters who are sharing their stories about their beloved pets. And sending love to you OP. Thank you for doing right by your doggo.
Sorry
This is so cool, I wish the world was full of people who love their animals as much as you clearly did.
It hurts so bad to lose these guys, I'm sorry man!
11/10.
Great last meal. My soul dog had his last table scraps on Sunday. We didn't know it would be his last meal, but as he was older rules started to slide and he had some burger scraps. Certainly hard to say goodbye but looks like your puppers had a good time with someone he loved. ❤️
Brings a tears to my eyes on a Saturday morning. Rest in peace ol son. Much love homie
Bless you and him. Respect omgdudewtf.
You are awesome may the homie rest in peace.
I am so so sorry. There are few things harder and I don’t wish that pain on anyone. Cheers to you for being such a good buddy and cheers that good boy. Any steak lover is a buddy in my book.
100% your dog crossed the rainbow bridge and immediately began telling all the other dogs in doggy heaven about his last meal
I am so sorry to read about your beloved dog. I think about this often, the last meal, the last day, etc. maybe too often, my dogs are 6 and 3. I hope and pray this is a long long ways away. I read this a while back and I think I will do something similar when the time comes, and depending upon the circumstances. ‘LEAVING FOR DOGGIE HEAVEN:’ Town turns up for dying dog’s last walk (msn.com)
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a pet like that. It’s pain beyond words to describe. 😞
I’m glad you had one last hurrah with him. I wish you all the best. 😢
❤️
why did mods remove this?????????????????
Edit: I wish I could edit the main post to relay this so hopefully everyone sees it, but wow… y’all have been wonderful. It looks like I have a quite a bit of replying to try and get to, I’m sorry for the delay but I am reading each and every comment. Even the funny ones about the steak being shit lol.
Quick note: if this post inspired you to do something similar for your pet… that is way more than I ever expected from a silly rate my steak post. DO IT. It sucks no matter what, make it special if you can. It doesn’t always work out that way like we hope, you loved them all the same.
Pet loss trigger warning: I also made bacon wrapped hotdogs so we had some nice grease to cook the filets in. In addition to the steak, hot dogs and all the bacon he could want we finished our last moments together with a chocolate peanut butter porter (which he sincerely preferred over water), a few Reese cups and he ate a full dark chocolate lava cake before we said our goodbyes. He was diagnosed with brain cancer. I am thankful for the time we had with him in the end. He was the best.
