I agree that we need to dismiss the views of others regarding our grieving. My bond with my sweet dog is sacred and thus I'll work through this the way I need to, not based on views of others. My grieving and final interactions included not leaving my dog alone as best that I could. After he was euthanized, I drove him myself to the crematory. On the way, I stopped at his favorite places, including parks. I sat with him and talked to him for hours. Then, at the crematorium, I placed him into the incinerator myself, covered him with his favorite blanket and said my final goodbye. He's now at home with me. Many ppl disagreed with my transporting my deceased dog and spending time with him. But, I don't care. It's what I believed to be best.. Thank you for this video.
It's been 4 weeks and 2 days since I said goodbye to my dog. She was in the family for 15 years; I took the lead with her vet and grooming visits in that time and we lived together for the past 6 1/2 years. It's been tough. What strikes me is how alone I am. Everyone has experienced loss, but every situation is unique. I have no one to talk to, and only the thousands of pics and hundreds of videos of her remain.
Tim, we're grateful that you chose to reach out and share your story with us. When you don't have people around to relate to, sometimes it helps to get your thoughts and feelings down on paper. Perhaps you can start writing stories of all the wonderful times you had together, her adorable little quirks, her favorite snacks - any memory that helps you change the sad story you're focusing on now. It's clear to see her love still lives inside you and you carry her in your heart. And if you're interested, we created a 6-part email series with all kinds of resources on grief support with lots of other ideas that can help - that's totally free: houndhuggerdiy.com/dog-loss You are in our thoughts and we send healing wishes your way.
Thank you for these videos. We had to euthanize our sweet boy 5 days ago. He was 10 years old and suddenly got very sick so we took him to th ER and was diagnosed with cancer of the spleen. It was a very difficult decision to make and left me with so much pain and grief and guilt. I am so glad I found your videos. I feel such relief to know that what I am feeling is normal that it is part of the grieving process and that I can relate to you and others who have lost their pets. Thank you for the wonderful work you have done.

Thank you so much for these videos, they are helpful and comforting. I said goodbye to my dear constant companion dog Leroy less than 48 hours ago. The grief is immense and overwhelming. 😢 I cant eat, cant sleep, cant do anything but sob and sob. I feel totally lost and my home so quiet and empty. Ive been listening to these videos to help get me through the nights. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏💙

I lost my best friend Brooklyn on Monday. He was an 11 year old Goldendoodle. He went everywhere with me. He never met an enemy. I always took him to the vet. He was in pain due to arthritis and I did not want him to suffer. The pain medication only helped so much. It has been difficult to sleep, eat and concentrate. Our pets are our family! One vet referred to my Brooklyn as my soulmate dog!!! This is so true!!!
Oh, BellaBlue, we are so sorry to hear about your beloved Brooklyn. Sounds like he was the most lovable fella and companion. It’s hard when they get older and in pain. Even more heartbreaking when they're gone - especially a dog that holds such a dear place in your heart. You have our most sincere condolences for your loss. Our hearts are with you. 💔
Thank you for being so kind and taking your pain of losing your sweet loved ones to help us in the process of grieving. I lost my sweet boy Marley a few weeks ago and the pain is just unbearable. I’m listening to your videos as I’m walking my other dog snickers and looking down it just one hurts so bad. I’m struggling with just getting up out of bed every day and every emotion that you mentioned in caring for Snickers. I feel so guilty going for walks, cuddling with him and not having Marley with me. Like you said, Marley was that one special dog that just got me and understood me more than anybody else in the world. he had such an amazing personality and would do things at the spur of the moment to keep us all laughing, and now even though we have snickers, he has a completely different personality. The house is so quiet without Marley. I don’t even know how to continue without him.
Thank you kindly for sharing your story about Marley. The feelings of loss can be overwhelming especially when you lose your heart dog. Snickers is most likely hurting as well and is so lucky to have you there to help heal his heart. Marley would not want either of you to be sad. Sounds like his happiest moments were when you were filled with joy. Maybe his legacy is for you is to carry on creating happiness in others - just like he did with you every single day. We have so much to learn from our pups and they can even teach us after they're gone. Please know how much we share your grief and hope your fond memories of Marley will help your journey of healing. Warmest hugs.
I recently stumbled across this series and I wanted to say thank you. I lost my 15 year old boxer shepherd mix “Faith” 7 weeks ago and it’s hitting me hard tonight. I haven’t been walking around town since that day. But I decided to walk to a local concert. As I walked back home in a gentle rain, I remembered all the miles we had walked together down those sidewalks. It was as if the sky itself was crying with me. I really miss her warmth and companionship, her joy and bravery, her sweet, trusting spirit and goofy personality. I hope that I can remember everything that she taught me, and that I can be the person that she believed I could be.
Tim, you are and always will be the person Faith looked up to and adored. For her, you can do no wrong. And it sounds like she was with you on your walk home the other evening, expressing her sadness with a gentle rain to hide your tears. It can hurt to remember the past, but those memories are gifts. The years of laughter and love and joy...your pup is always with you and you are a better person because of her. Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss.
Thank you for sharing on managing grief for our fur family. The grief is much worse than many human family losses. I lost my dog, the love of my life, in January. Heart tumour found 4.5-5cm with other changes too. Her lungs were filling with fluid. Only option was chest drain to drain daily at home. I wish I could have tried the drain and tried as many natural medicines as I could to try to shrink it (turkey tail mushroom, CBD, baking soda/molasses, panacure etc etc.). I feel I failed her but when we are faced with these scenarios it’s never black and white. I find comfort in my Christian faith and that God knows the grief we go through. Revelation 21:4 say He will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
We're so very sorry to hear of your loss - this time can be just devastating. Unfortunately it is too easy to second guess those last moments and play them over and over in your mind. It's clear your love was deep and you did everything you could - really and truly you did. Your love, care and concern never wavered. It is so important to be kind to yourself right now to help with healing. We’re grateful you have found some tips in this video series to help with your journey. You have our most sincere condolences and may you find peace with all the wonderful memories you both shared. 💔
Thank you for this series and for validating the deep, profound grief that one experiences with the loss of their dog. I am so overwhelmed by grief, it's so difficult. I have been looking at many videos online and your videos in particular resonate with me because of your insight and the very personal experiences you share around your dog loss grief. You articulate exactly how it feels. I lost my little furry girl less than a week ago. It's just so lonely without her. She was an integral part of every part of my day. So many interactions, now suddenly gone. I miss her so much.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and kind words with us. Please know how heartbroken we are to hear that you have lost a little loved one in your life.

We are honored and humbled to know our videos on dog loss have helped in some small way. Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved girl.

I ost my dog (beagle) this last Monday 😢.I am happy she is no longer suffering in pain , but without sounding selfish , I feel lost without her here. We had to put her to sleep and thankfully she went peacefully my dad said when him and the vet was with her for her final moment here on Earth, but she had cancer and was old (10 years +). My mum woke me up and told me i think it's time to say your final goodbye as her legs had gone , she stopped drinking and eating , even when my mum got her to drink some water, she threw it straight back up and it was like throth coming back up out of her mouth. The vet and my dad tried standing her up , but she couldn't stand anymore, so we had to put her out of her misery. She is no longer suffering anymore and I look forward to seeing my dog Jade and my cat Fifa (who also died of cancer and growing older, so we had her put to sleep aswell as my dog Jade so neither of them would no longer suffer) , but I look foward to seeing and meeting my cat Fifa and my dog Jade again at rainbow 🌈 bridge when I pass over to the other side aswell with them and all my family (mum , dad ,brother e.t.c). Thank you for the video of guidance after losing my beagle Jade 🥰😘🐶🐕🐾🥹😭🥰❤ aswell as my cat Fifa 🥰😘🐱🐈🐾🥹😭🥰❤. It means a lot to me the fact you have a beagle as the front picture of this video reminds me of my beagle Jade
We are truly sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Jade (and Fifa). The gift of peace is a profound act of love for a dog who is suffering. You and Jade will reunite one day to romp and play together on the other side. Until then, she will live in your heart and always be a piece of you. Please accept our most heartfelt condolences for the loss of your sweet girl. May you continue to find comfort in all the precious memories of the beautiful life you shared together.
@@HoundHuggerDIY @HoundHuggerDIY Thank you I really appreciate your kind words. As much as I miss having her here around us (me and my family), it was the right thing to do, because as the saying goes " sometimes you have to be cruel (in this case being euthanized) to be kind (to take her out of her misery), it hurt having to havd her unthenised , but she was suffering and it was for the best, so her body can rest and her soul can fly high, run wild and free on rainbow 🌈 bridge and is now joining My Cat Fifa there aswell in rainbow 🌈 bridge until we meet and reunite again (as the war veteran and singer Vera Lynn said in her song " We'll Meet Again". As much as it still hurts , the vet even said " it's time for her to go" which I understand and am just happy to know that she can rest now with my cat Fifa, My nanan's and Grandad's, my aunty and uncles pets and everyone else up there that me and my family have lost. I watched a psychic medium called Matt Frasser (bought his book which I'm yet to read, but will be doing so shortly called " We Never Die" and watched people talking about there extraordinary moments of NDE (Near Death Experience(s) Videos here on UA-cam. One thing they all said , both Matt Frasser and The people talking about their extraordinary moments of near death experinces (NDE) is when we all pass away , humans , pets we all get feelings and are surrounded by happiness , love , friendship and every great feeling we receive here on planet earth , we don't feel no jealously, hatred, anger , unhappiness e.t.c. , it's all great feelings and nothing bad.

Just lost my doggie Bella on June 15th. It has been a terrible pain and loss. House is so empty and quiet without her. It has been the hardest loss i have had my entire life. She is deeply missed.
Rosie, we are so sad to hear the news of your beloved Bella. This is such a devastating time and it's easy to let the emotions of grief and guilt wave over you. Nothing else seems to matter and you go through the first days and weeks in a daze. I wish we could magically make everything better. Truly I do. Just know that someday soon, things will start to get better. You'll feel Bella's presence in a different way... she'll send you messages and little reminders that may hurt at first, but will eventually make you smile. She is a part of your soul and will be by your side the rest of your days, guiding and loving you until you meet again. Please know we send warm thoughts of comfort and support your way as you continue on your journey of healing.
I have to know WHY G-d made their lives shorter? or can not G made my life the same years as my dog? The picture of my profile is Elvis, I lost him April 14 , two days ago, all i feel now is a huge void in my life, i miss the only male that ever loved me completely.
And I'm a strong woman and I've been through some hell so I'm tougher than that but he was that one dog like you ladies were talking about. I love my little Burger butt and I don't know how to get over. But I don't really know. I would use the word routine tor the bond that we get with our dog. Did I say this is because on the first day he died I was looking for comfort on how can I deal with this grief and I found that in the Hebrew language ... Dog mean ( like heart) and they truly do become your heart and our heart is not a routine... because like heart ihat is so very dpecial
I am in grips of grief. It's been 5 weeks, and the pain hasn't lessened. I'm afraid it's never going to be OK. It was so unexpected, and I thought I would be taking her home after an overnight stay in the hospital but it turned out she had cancer and was only going to get worse quickly. I'm devastated. 💔
Oh Mary, our hearts are breaking at the news of your loss. It's never easy - and even more difficult when it happens out of the blue. All of the feelings you are experiencing are normal. Grief never really ends. It's ok not to be ok, because you never really get over it - but you will get through it. Sometimes the best thing we can do is flip the script - frame the story in our heads a different way in order to begin the healing process and obtain a different result. To move through the grief… to heal our hearts… and cherish the memories of our beloved pup. It’s not denying what has happened. It’s just changing the way you think about it. She would want you to be happy again, honoring her memory with love and joy... the same way she brought love and joy to your heart when she was here. Your two souls will forever be entwined. Please know you are in our thoughts. Hugs to you and your family.😥
Thank you for the kind words, Sasha. It means so much that we're even a small part in your journey of healing. Please accept our most heartfelt condolences for the loss of your sweet boy. May you continue to find comfort in all the dear memories of the beautiful life you shared together.
And I got my good ways to deal with grief I draw I walk. I shoot hoops I write poems I just hurt you know and I just have to vent that's all. Can I guess I'll go out to the woods and scream until it says echo because you can't do that in town everybody think you're nuts lol
That's understandable...journaling wasn't a good fit for me either. The emotions around loss can be so raw and it can be overwhelming or difficult to put those feelings into words. Do what you can to remember the happy times you had with your pup and try to lean on people who care about you for grace and support. In time you'll find the things that help you to heal. In the meantime, try to take some time each day to remember all of the wonderful times you had together, the adorable little quirks, favorite snacks - any memory that helps you change the sad story you're focusing on now. In time it will get easier - and gratitude for sharing your life with such a dear sweet soul (even for a short time) will replace the hurt you feel now.
@@HoundHuggerDIY thank you, I had him for almost 13 years and he was my best friend. Your right, I am trying to focus on the good times but its such a struggle. I keep replaying his last days over and over in my mind and how I miss him so very very much. This boy would worry about me when I was having health issues. He was so unique and smart. I did see him in a dream last night so that has helped some. The grief comes and goes. Certain triggers out of nowhere overpower me then I'll quit crying and settle down to the new reality but this loss hurts so bad its going to take quite a while. But Tommy was happy boy and would not want me to hurt so him but I do. Thank you and God Bless Yall
He was very special he was such a baby I loved him very much. That's first time anything in front of me let alone in my arms I kind of suspected for like a week he's been hinting around that he's going to be telling me goodbye but I asked him not to leave so he held on for a week anyway after I got him calmed down Friday this past Friday we both fell asleep but when I woke up and he's sitting here looking at me panting real heavy I pick him up and he died in my arms so yeah that was hard it freaked me out his last breath and he was gone

I really don't know how use this comment stuff I don't even know if anybody is here in me or seeing this and you don't even know how old this stuff is so I don't know but at least I got to vent
Oh dear Debra, our hearts are aching for you and the loss of your beloved Burger. Your pup sounds so precious and it's clear you had the most amazing connection with one another. You are bravely facing the first step: acknowledging your grief and giving yourself permission to express it. Continue to find people you can communicate with and open up to about your feelings. The more you are able to express and work through them, the more you will continue to heal, which is what your best furfriend would want for you. Please know you are in our thoughts and we send you strength, comfort and warm wishes daily.
Okay that is all for now don't mean I won't get on here and vent again before it's all over I just don't like being hurt because I can't do nothing about it I got to go through it you know we all do and it sucks I'm so angry and hurt and I just don't know I got a hole in my heart I'm sad.... Okay that is all for real just going to go shoot hoops now throw it away

Revelation 21:4 say He will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
We're so very sorry to hear of your loss - this time can be just devastating. Unfortunately it is too easy to second guess those last moments and play them over and over in your mind. It's clear your love was deep and you did everything you could - really and truly you did. Your love, care and concern never wavered. It is so important to be kind to yourself right now to help with healing.
We’re grateful you have found some tips in this video series to help with your journey. You have our most sincere condolences and may you find peace with all the wonderful memories you both shared. 💔
Thank you for this series and for validating the deep, profound grief that one experiences with the loss of their dog. I am so overwhelmed by grief, it's so difficult. I have been looking at many videos online and your videos in particular resonate with me because of your insight and the very personal experiences you share around your dog loss grief. You articulate exactly how it feels. I lost my little furry girl less than a week ago. It's just so lonely without her. She was an integral part of every part of my day. So many interactions, now suddenly gone. I miss her so much.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and kind words with us. Please know how heartbroken we are to hear that you have lost a little loved one in your life. It doesn’t matter how much time goes by, we still miss them with our whole heart. And that’s ok. Those feelings are normal. It just means we love them fully - they are a part of our soul - they shape our lives and they remain forever with us.
We are honored and humbled to know our videos on dog loss have helped in some small way. Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved girl. You are in our thoughts and we send warm hugs of hope and healing your way. 💔

I ost my dog (beagle) this last Monday 😢.I am happy she is no longer suffering in pain , but without sounding selfish , I feel lost without her here.
We had to put her to sleep and thankfully she went peacefully my dad said when him and the vet was with her for her final moment here on Earth, but she had cancer and was old (10 years +). My mum woke me up and told me i think it's time to say your final goodbye as her legs had gone , she stopped drinking and eating , even when my mum got her to drink some water, she threw it straight back up and it was like throth coming back up out of her mouth. The vet and my dad tried standing her up , but she couldn't stand anymore, so we had to put her out of her misery.
She is no longer suffering anymore and I look forward to seeing my dog Jade and my cat Fifa (who also died of cancer and growing older, so we had her put to sleep aswell as my dog Jade so neither of them would no longer suffer) , but I look foward to seeing and meeting my cat Fifa and my dog Jade again at rainbow 🌈 bridge when I pass over to the other side aswell with them and all my family (mum , dad ,brother e.t.c).
Thank you for the video of guidance after losing my beagle Jade 🥰😘🐶🐕🐾🥹😭🥰❤ aswell as my cat Fifa 🥰😘🐱🐈🐾🥹😭🥰❤. It means a lot to me the fact you have a beagle as the front picture of this video reminds me of my beagle Jade
We are truly sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Jade (and Fifa). The gift of peace is a profound act of love for a dog who is suffering. You and Jade will reunite one day to romp and play together on the other side. Until then, she will live in your heart and always be a piece of you. Please accept our most heartfelt condolences for the loss of your sweet girl. May you continue to find comfort in all the precious memories of the beautiful life you shared together.
@@HoundHuggerDIY @HoundHuggerDIY Thank you I really appreciate your kind words. As much as I miss having her here around us (me and my family), it was the right thing to do, because as the saying goes " sometimes you have to be cruel (in this case being euthanized) to be kind (to take her out of her misery), it hurt having to havd her unthenised , but she was suffering and it was for the best, so her body can rest and her soul can fly high, run wild and free on rainbow 🌈 bridge and is now joining My Cat Fifa there aswell in rainbow 🌈 bridge until we meet and reunite again (as the war veteran and singer Vera Lynn said in her song " We'll Meet Again".
As much as it still hurts , the vet even said " it's time for her to go" which I understand and am just happy to know that she can rest now with my cat Fifa, My nanan's and Grandad's, my aunty and uncles pets and everyone else up there that me and my family have lost.
I watched a psychic medium called Matt Frasser (bought his book which I'm yet to read, but will be doing so shortly called " We Never Die" and watched people talking about there extraordinary moments of NDE (Near Death Experience(s) Videos here on UA-cam. One thing they all said , both Matt Frasser and The people talking about their extraordinary moments of near death experinces (NDE) is when we all pass away , humans , pets we all get feelings and are surrounded by happiness , love , friendship and every great feeling we receive here on planet earth , we don't feel no jealously, hatred, anger , unhappiness e.t.c. , it's all great feelings and nothing bad.

Anyway thank you for your kind words again, me and my family really do appreciate it ❤️.
Just lost my doggie Bella on June 15th. It has been a terrible pain and loss. House is so empty and quiet without her. It has been the hardest loss i have had my entire life. She is deeply missed.
Rosie, we are so sad to hear the news of your beloved Bella. This is such a devastating time and it's easy to let the emotions of grief and guilt wave over you. Nothing else seems to matter and you go through the first days and weeks in a daze. I wish we could magically make everything better. Truly I do.
Just know that someday soon, things will start to get better. You'll feel Bella's presence in a different way... she'll send you messages and little reminders that may hurt at first, but will eventually make you smile. She is a part of your soul and will be by your side the rest of your days, guiding and loving you until you meet again. Please know we send warm thoughts of comfort and support your way as you continue on your journey of healing.
I have to know WHY G-d made their lives shorter? or can not G made my life the same years as my dog? The picture of my profile is Elvis, I lost him April 14 , two days ago, all i feel now is a huge void in my life, i miss the only male that ever loved me completely.
We are so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Elvis. Please be gentle with yourself during this difficult time.
I e been saying the same thing.. why do parrots get 25 and dogs 15 max these days? A mistake was made there
This series was excellent.
And I'm a strong woman and I've been through some hell so I'm tougher than that but he was that one dog like you ladies were talking about. I love my little Burger butt and I don't know how to get over. But I don't really know. I would use the word routine tor the bond that we get with our dog. Did I say this is because on the first day he died I was looking for comfort on how can I deal with this grief and I found that in the Hebrew language ... Dog mean ( like heart) and they truly do become your heart and our heart is not a routine... because like heart ihat is so very dpecial
I am in grips of grief. It's been 5 weeks, and the pain hasn't lessened. I'm afraid it's never going to be OK. It was so unexpected, and I thought I would be taking her home after an overnight stay in the hospital but it turned out she had cancer and was only going to get worse quickly. I'm devastated. 💔
Oh Mary, our hearts are breaking at the news of your loss. It's never easy - and even more difficult when it happens out of the blue. All of the feelings you are experiencing are normal. Grief never really ends. It's ok not to be ok, because you never really get over it - but you will get through it.
Sometimes the best thing we can do is flip the script - frame the story in our heads a different way in order to begin the healing process and obtain a different result. To move through the grief… to heal our hearts… and cherish the memories of our beloved pup. It’s not denying what has happened. It’s just changing the way you think about it. She would want you to be happy again, honoring her memory with love and joy... the same way she brought love and joy to your heart when she was here.
Your two souls will forever be entwined. Please know you are in our thoughts. Hugs to you and your family.😥
Thank you
My.dog.Jack.Love.you.Budy.miss.you.❤
Thank you for your wonderful service you all do thx you .....
Thank you for the kind words, Sasha. It means so much that we're even a small part in your journey of healing. Please accept our most heartfelt condolences for the loss of your sweet boy. May you continue to find comfort in all the dear memories of the beautiful life you shared together.
Thank you ; it's going to be tough.really is ,😞🙏
@@HoundHuggerDIY thx you 🐾🙏
@@HoundHuggerDIY thx you 🐾🙏
And I got my good ways to deal with grief I draw I walk. I shoot hoops I write poems I just hurt you know and I just have to vent that's all. Can I guess I'll go out to the woods and scream until it says echo because you can't do that in town everybody think you're nuts lol
I've journaled quite a bit which really helped with past anxiety but really found little help with this loss.
Yes it makes me cry even more
That's understandable...journaling wasn't a good fit for me either. The emotions around loss can be so raw and it can be overwhelming or difficult to put those feelings into words. Do what you can to remember the happy times you had with your pup and try to lean on people who care about you for grace and support. In time you'll find the things that help you to heal.
In the meantime, try to take some time each day to remember all of the wonderful times you had together, the adorable little quirks, favorite snacks - any memory that helps you change the sad story you're focusing on now. In time it will get easier - and gratitude for sharing your life with such a dear sweet soul (even for a short time) will replace the hurt you feel now.
@@HoundHuggerDIY thank you, I had him for almost 13 years and he was my best friend. Your right, I am trying to focus on the good times but its such a struggle. I keep replaying his last days over and over in my mind and how I miss him so very very much. This boy would worry about me when I was having health issues. He was so unique and smart. I did see him in a dream last night so that has helped some. The grief comes and goes. Certain triggers out of nowhere overpower me then I'll quit crying and settle down to the new reality but this loss hurts so bad its going to take quite a while. But Tommy was happy boy and would not want me to hurt so him but I do. Thank you and God Bless Yall
He was very special he was such a baby I loved him very much. That's first time anything in front of me let alone in my arms I kind of suspected for like a week he's been hinting around that he's going to be telling me goodbye but I asked him not to leave so he held on for a week anyway after I got him calmed down Friday this past Friday we both fell asleep but when I woke up and he's sitting here looking at me panting real heavy I pick him up and he died in my arms so yeah that was hard it freaked me out his last breath and he was gone
Died in front of me
So sorry to hear xx🌈🌸💐
Away is there a way to put a picture up cuz I'll put a picture of him up for you guys to see if you'd like
Thank.u.so.much..❤.😂

I really don't know how use this comment stuff I don't even know if anybody is here in me or seeing this and you don't even know how old this stuff is so I don't know but at least I got to vent
Oh dear Debra, our hearts are aching for you and the loss of your beloved Burger. Your pup sounds so precious and it's clear you had the most amazing connection with one another.
You are bravely facing the first step: acknowledging your grief and giving yourself permission to express it. Continue to find people you can communicate with and open up to about your feelings. The more you are able to express and work through them, the more you will continue to heal, which is what your best furfriend would want for you. Please know you are in our thoughts and we send you strength, comfort and warm wishes daily.
Okay that is all for now don't mean I won't get on here and vent again before it's all over I just don't like being hurt because I can't do nothing about it I got to go through it you know we all do and it sucks I'm so angry and hurt and I just don't know I got a hole in my heart I'm sad.... Okay that is all for real just going to go shoot hoops now throw it away
