META Goodbye for now.

Hey everyone.

I have been absent due to life complications.

To be open, I switched employment, financially struggling, and today, I came home to Nibiru no longer alive.

I am stepping down as a mod. I can't do this with my current state.

I can't control my life right now, how can I expect to help others?

I hope you all understand.

I love you all and thank you for the great time here.

Edit 23:23 - I'm at the vet. He's getting cremated now.

His death was because he ate a container full of brownies he took, the vets say the chocolate killed his kidneys and nothing they tried was helping.

I can help pay for the cremation if needed. Get the paw print in clay, too. This SUCKS and I am sooo sorry, please let me know how/if I can help.

u/Mighty_Meatball Oct 01 '20

That makes perfect sense. Being mod isn't the priority right now so we understand why you'd have to make such a sacrifice.

I just want you to know that as a mod, you have helped many people on this sub and we are all forever grateful. You are very appreciated and we hope the best for you.

So far, it seems that your mental health, and financial situation, are incredibly important right now. Since this is r/assistance, don't hesitate to reach out and ask for help! You have many people out there who want to support you.

I can't do much with my situation but I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to :)

u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Oct 01 '20

Oh no! What happened to Nib? I am sending you a DM, this is so terrible for you!

u/Nibiru_realm Oct 01 '20

I was in the shower and he managed to get into some extremely toxic things.

His kidneys started failing sunday night.

u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Oct 01 '20

Suggestion: Don't step down for a week or so, see how you feel then. It is usually recommended after "life changes" to not make any changes in those first days/month of change. Sleep on it, at least. Good night, my friend :)

I have a pup exactly like this. She is like a two year old kid. I went to the bathroom today, literally not even one minute, and she destroyed 10% of a three by five foot rug in that tiny amount of time. They are everywhere and get into everything. They can do something in the span of seconds while you're occupied with necessary tasks. They're too smart and mischievious for their own good. My heart goes out to you. It def wasn't your fault.

That is an important thing to say. 💗

u/wildflowersummer Oct 01 '20

My heart aches for you. Nibiru was absolutely beautiful. I have a Husky who looks almost exactly like him and reading this brought tears to my eyes. You’ve been such a kind hearted person, is there anything we can do for you in this unimaginable time? We’ve never talked, but I see your profile and I’ve seen you here and I would like to do something for you in honor of Nibiru and all you’ve done to help others. I am so so sorry for your indescribable loss.

Oh Nibs. I’m so very sorry to hear you are struggling right now, and that Nib has crossed the rainbow bridge. We love you, and wish you peace and healing.

Nib will be forever remembered here and was the inspiration for the "Helpful Husky" award. So sorry for your loss :(

u/KittyLune BANNED Oct 01 '20

Oh sweetheart. 😢 This breaks my heart. I want you to know that even if you think you could have prevented his passing, Huskies are incredibly intelligent dogs and I'm sure he knew how much you loved him. Please take as much time as you need to heal. No one should fault you for needing that. Don't blame yourself for something that couldn't be predicted. But do take in another puppy whenever you feel like you're ready to have another one in your heart. 💙

I’m sorry for your loss, it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. I just had to put mine down after 16 years of being with him. Just hang in there things will get easier.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve always admired the work you’ve done on this subreddit and all the hard work you put into it. And we all understand that you need to prioritize and take care of yourself first and foremost. I cannot imagine what you’re going through now, but my heart goes out to you.

u/falseAutonomy Oct 01 '20

There's nothing that can be said that makes anything better, or even ok. Also, just having people saying something helped me, so I hope it helps you, too.

u/unsharpenedpoint Oct 01 '20

I lost my good boy in June after 13 years. I can’t tell you how sorry I am, but please accept my virtual hugs. I am still horribly upset but somehow life goes on. It hurts so very much, physically and emotionally. Feel free to reach out if you need someone.

What lovely thing to offer. :)

u/sweetlew07 Oct 01 '20

I’m praying for you. What a terrible shocking loss. Nibiru looks like the best boy and I’m sorry you have to go through this.

In June when I had to have my cat put to sleep, my boyfriend bought me this photo frame to keep a pic and some of his ashes in. This way even if I leave my parents house I can take a piece of him with me. I hope you are able to keep his ashes. Don’t forget how much love you gave him, he was lucky to have an owner like you.

Also I hope you aren’t feeling guilty that he got into the brownies...when my shar pei had to be put down I found out that grapes are toxic to dogs. He loved grapes. I don’t doubt that I was responsible for his kidney failure. It took a lot of therapy to get past it, so I hope you find someone to talk to and vent and bounce ideas off of in regards to this.

Sleep sweetly, Nibiru, the best of boys.

u/EDBTZE Oct 01 '20

this poem helped me move on a little. Maybe it can do the same for you

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

u/TurdQueen Oct 03 '20

Oh my goodness, I just saw this. I am so, so sorry. I know how much you loved your dog. I cannot imagine the pain.

If you want, please PM me your address. I would love to send you a condolences card.

My inbox is always open (though I may not reply right away). But if ever you need to talk, or just wanna share a cute picture of Nibiru, I'd love to see them.

One more thing - THIS WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. Dogs eat shit all the time. It's not your fault for having brownies. THIS. IS. NOT. YOUR. FAULT.

All my love to you <3
