I am so sorry Janelle 😢
Thank you for sharing this Janell, you are so strong❤️ We love you & we love Charlie❤️ I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace sweet angel❤️ He will always be with you❤️
I am so deeply heartbroken for you Janelle. For all of you. I dread the day I have to do this with my soul dog, Mia. She's going to be four in October so I am hoping to have a long long time still but…whenever I look at her, I know she's going to take a piece of me when she goes.
I am so sorry for you! <3
Charlie would want you to be happy. He's no longer in pain and you gave him a fantastic life. You will always miss him as he was a part of you. It does get easier with time..sometimes A LOT of time. No one gets to dictate how long of time either. I lost two pets within 5 months in 2024 and it was just a horrible year. Losing a pet sucks so much.
Oh Janelle I am so sorry for your loss! We all loved Charlie. I’ve been crying for a half hour straight listening to you just talk about how much he meant to you. Sending my love❤
Janelle, I am so so sorry for your loss. I can tell just how amazing the bond you two had and I am so happy for both of you that you found each other.
I lost my animal soul mate in 2018. His name was Punkin, and he was a big orange Maine Coon cat, he was like a golden retriever and was the deepest love I have ever felt. The way you spoke about looking into Charlie's eyes, thats what we had. He died when he was 9 years old, so similar to your loss- he had a stroke and I found him in a puddle and he was put down at the emergency vet with me holding his paw. He died the day before my little sister moved in with me, and I told myself he knew his job was done (he had been my only family for so long) and that someone else was ready to take over. 6 months later I became pregnant, and it wasn't until I was halfway through that it occured to me that I might be able to have that love again, with my baby. I am so sad they never got to meet, but she knows about Punkin, and I told her that he left part of his soul in me to give to her. I still grieve him and miss him. I got another cat after he passed to distract me, we never bonded & she recently passed away and we adopted a kitten in October, and I knew right away that her & I had that same connection; I don't know how I got so lucky to get a second kitty soulmate and I never thought it would happen, and I think maybe she got the rest of his soul. I'll miss Punkin forever but even though he is gone the love has come back ❤
My heart is absolutely shattered for Janelle (& everyone who loved Charlie) 😢
Janelle, you did the most loving thing anyone in that situation could do, ending his pain & suffering ❤ Whats more, you where there holding him so that he felt safe & loved as he crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 My soulmate also happens to have fur (my kitty Luna) & I've repeatedly told the Universe "I go first or we go together" cuz I cant imagine living w/o her. Sending you all my love & support ❤
I thought I could watch you talk about what happened to Charlie but it was so hard because I can't even imagine going through this with my pups. They are my world and I can't imagine a life without them. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for sharing ❤️
You fing broke me. I am so so sorry. Been there. Lost 2 of my soul puppies in a year. I am here crying.
Janelle – I can't thank you enough for sharing your journey with Charlie on this episode. I put down my cat, Princess, last month and have been suffering a little bit each day thinking of her. This episode I cried with you – and found some peace with the loss of my girl. I'm so sorry you lost your soul pet, it's a pain like no other. This episode was a therapy session I didn't know I needed. Sending you so much love.
I’m crying with you, Janelle. I believe in reincarnation and I just know he will be back in your life or the next.
I work in risk management at a university and the way they handled this is sooo wrong! We have a place where anyone can anonymously report any misconduct and every claim is investigated. We work at universities, our students are literally the reason we are here.
Janelle, it took me a minute to finish this episode as I knew I would be sobbing. I lost my best friend 4 years ago, also suddenly and out of the blew. You showed him the greatest kindness. He was a BIG piece of your life, but you were his whole world. I still miss Charlotte, my doggo, but I feel her with me and healing does happen at its own pace. You’ll still cry, I do, but you’ll laugh at all the silly memories too. I personally got my dog’s paw print inked on me so I carry her with me everywhere I go. ❤
Charlie was such a treasure. I loved seeing him on the pod. I'm so sorry you lost him.
Janelle. You did not kill him you SAVED him from a painful passing. You did the most humane thing possible. I know it’s a horrible pain but you did the right thing. Sending you my love. ❤❤❤
So sorry again Janelle I loved seeing him on the podcast rip again Charlie boy I cried with you threw this episode ❤
I'm truly so sorry about Charlie. My heart goes out to you. Loosing a pet is so terrible. My prayers 🙏
Janelle, I've had to make that decision for a puppy that fell into our lap two weeks prior from a horrific abusive house. She didn't even have a proper name yet and was taken from us by parvo. I grieved hard for a long time. We still have her sister, and sometimes I look at her and remember the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
Please don't EVER feel like your heartache is invalid. My heart breaks for you.
You gave Charlie the absolute best life possible. He was safe and knew love. YOU did that for him.
Thank you for putting your heart and soul into his recovery and feeling strong enough to share with everyone. 💗
I'm so so sorry Janelle I can't imagine what your going through I've only been on y'all channel for a year or so now and I love charlied it breaks my heart he's gone
Losing an unconditional love is the worst pain you can feel. I am so sorry that you're going thru this. But i think in the weeks to come you will feel him and he will come to you to comfort you. ❤❤❤
I am SO FREAKING SORRY you lost your guy. It's so hard. I got my 3 dogs in 06, 07 and 08 as I was starting my adult life and the boys died last fall and the fall before. It's now my geriatric little Molly and I'm trying to pep myself up this week to call and make her last appt before she gets too sloppy. It's been so hard the last couple years. My point is, we lost my uncle 18 months ago and I was just like "ya, he was old and unhealthy, it makes sense" but with my dogs it's so hard. I need to chill out, now.
I was really debating watching this episode, because I have such a similar story to Charlie, in more ways than one. I also wanted to leave you with some peace in your decision. The peace part starts here. The praying and begging God to save your dog, was me a few short months ago. My dog Bunnie was jerking and that memory alone is so unbelievably traumatic. My dog started having severe seizures, being completely unresponsive. I held him so close and begged and sobbed for the entire way to the ER begging God not to take my dog. He was having severe seizures, and was transferred to a neurologist. From there, he had an MRI. He has epilepsy, but the peace part for you is that a world renowned veterinary neurologist explained to us that an older dog having seizures, almost always means something that will be an unfortunate end of life event. Instead of thinking “I killed my dog”, you quite literally saved Charlie from so much pain, which is the best gift you can offer your babies. You saved him not once, but twice. You were truly his angel, and now he is yours. ❤️
My absolute soul dog, was completely fine, just like Charlie. Then he wasn’t. We took him to the ER, and they found a baseball sized mass in his bladder. I blamed myself for years because I also have healthy anxiety, and have always gone above and beyond for my pets. He was here, and then a ER visit later, he was gone. I can’t say it gets easier, watching this had me sobbing, remembering that dark period when I lost my soul dog. Everyone always joked that I would need to be put in a hospital to keep me safe when my soul dog died, and I can tell you I felt like that was the only way out. My soul dogs journey was so similar to yours, he was abused for 6 years, and I had him for 5. It just absolutely changed my perception and this loss changed me. It’s been years, and it’s still hard to look at photos. Almost as if the memory is just too painful. I’ve never loved anything or anyone like I loved my soul dog. All I can say is that all of us who have lost our soul dogs are here with you and for you.
They say that our brains are wired differently and react differently with companion pets. It’s a completely different area of the brain that lights up on MRI. It’s unconditional, and it’s world altering. And I’m just so sorry.
I don’t know if any of this helps, but just know there was nothing more you could have done for him, and from one “neurological disorder” mom to another, I’m so unbelievably sorry you had to see and experience this. Charlie will always be with you.
It’s okay to not be okay, it’s okay to be absolutely lost. You are loved!
😭😭😭 I can't stop crying. My baby looks so similar to Charlie and I even call him baby bear too… hes 13 and has heart disease and I just can't handle the thought of the inevitable.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know how bad this is probably hurting you. I want to hug you, I hope you are staying strong ❤️
This was such a hard watch. I’m so sorry Janelle😭 Thank you so much for sharing sweet Charlie with us🤍
Sending you so much love. You are so strong. Thank you for sharing Charlie with us ❤
I started to cry as soon as I saw Janelle, I'm so sorry for your loss 💔Sending you love, losing a best friend is so hard!
Oh man, I knew this was going to be rough, but your pain was felt so deeply. I am so sorry for your loss of Charlie! Thank you for giving him all the love he deserved. Another fur baby will never replace him but hopefully help fill the hole he left. Ugh, should have not watched while at work.
