Jared & Shannon Leto put their dog to sleep, tweet about it, I weep.
Last night, Jared Leto and his brother, Shannon, had to put their beloved Husky mix, Sky, to sleep. Both tweeted pictures of Sky, with Jared's photo slightly more emotional (both tweets under the cut).

I can't handle pet deaths and I'm dreading the day my lil pitbull passes away. :( Sweetest, smartest dog I've ever had.

I'm hoping to see my baby one last time at xmas. I know it'll be the last. She won't make it another year. Ugh.
Why can't pets live forever!

She's 13 now, and has problems walking. It's so sad.
I can't wait to see her when I fly back home.
It was so scary because we all watched it happen. We knew it was coming, but I still cried forever after it happen. I still remember sitting down on the floor next to her a few days before it happened, crying, and telling her that it was okay to go and we all loved her.
That sounds really heartbreaking to have to go through. IDK if i could do it. You are brave bb and your dog was lucky that she had such a good family taking care of her til the very end.

My dog will turn 13 soon. I don't know what I'm going to do when she's gone.
I try not to think about it and just focus on giving her the best life she can have.
rest in peace little baby.
pebbles was my first dog. we had her for 6 months before she got into an accident on the back stairs with her leash.
This is Oscar. He's six months old and a menace (today he ripped a hole in my new jacket) but I love him so much that I can't even think about him getting older without tearing up.

Does anyone have any experiencing in having a pet during college? It's my senior year, and I feel like adopting would be therapeutic for me (and I miss our pup at home), but I know it's a huge undertaking. I want to do well academically since my grades were less than stellar last year due to my anxiety issues. I just want some honest opinions so I can make an informed decision.
Think about it this way: having a dog changes your whole life, your whole schedule. Especially if you get a puppy (I am house training right now, and it fucking sucks beyond belief), which is even more work. Want to hang out with your friends after class or go see a movie right after work? Well, you can't, because your dog has been home alone all day and needs exercise and human companionship.
Dogs are also very expensive. If you're thinking about getting one, sit down and calculate your month by month and yearly costs. Include the costs of getting the dog boarded, start up supplies, flea/tick preventative, vet visits, and any money for medical emergencies.
Allllll of this being said, having your own dog is awesome. Since I've gotten my pup, I've been less depressed and more active and energetic. I love doing fun things like going to the dog park or going on a long walk exploring the neighborhood. I just want to encourage you to think very very hard and very long before adopting a dog.
Anyway, I adopted my dog from rescue after having a foster that did not work out for us due to behavioral issues, so my last piece of advice is to make sure to ASK the questions that are relevant to you regarding the dog's history, health and behavior.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. They're always there for me. When a boy broke my heart, they were in my bed with me when I didn't want to get out of it. When I got sick and was alone at home, moaning from the stomach pain, Sayid looked at me all scared and started meowing loudly and going around the house as if asking for help. Charlie was next to me, kissing me. Merlin hasn't been there for mr because he's only 3 months old. I don't know what I'd do if any one of them died. They're all so special and different. I JUST LOVE THEM A LOT.
