My dog had tongo to sleep. Making meatballs in white sauce to eat with tortilla chips. And drinking the leftover wine from the sauce. :']

thatsucksabagofdicks@reddit
Sorry about the pup, I'll pour one out (into my mouth) for them.
Unless it was just their bedtime and you worded it weird
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
No, please rip a good one for my boy. His name was whiskey, so that'd me my preference
Entomemer@reddit
Had a pet mouse named Whiskey, I loved that little guy so much. RIP to your baby
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Mice are cuties. My first ever pet was a solid black mousey named crystal
Entomemer@reddit
One of mine is all black as well!
HanSolo_Cup@reddit
My boy's name is Whiskey. I'll have a nip and give him a hug when I get home. Hang in there, pal. This part is rough.

I’m sorry to hear about your dog OP. I had to put my dog down about 3 years ago and it was a very emotional time. I hope you feel better soon and take care of yourself.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
What was your doggy like? If you csre to share. Everyone has had such gems :']
pasghettiii@reddit
No, I don’t mind! My pup was a chihuahua/terrier mix named Twizzler 🥰 my love. He loved apples, cheese, and wrestling with me until he got a little too old, so we had to slow down. He was a family dog but my favorites times were when it was just me and him riding around in the car. It’s been a few years now since he passed but I still love him.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
So you guys did road trips together?
pasghettiii@reddit
Yeah kind of. He would mostly just run errands with me or I’d take him to a park.
uhuuuh262@reddit
I’m so so sorry :(
thefivetenets@reddit
sorry about your dog. my dog of 14 years passed a few years ago and i still think about her every day even though the pain has lessened considerably. at least this looks good af
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
What was your dog like?
thefivetenets@reddit
we never knew what breed she was but she was advertised as a mini pin by the shelter that we drove two hours to pick her up at, but she was definitely not a mini pin since she was like 20 lbs and had long deer legs. i was like, 12, she was my birthday present. she would sleep with me every night, tucked up against my shoulder and chest; if i rolled so my back was facing her, she'd roll so we were back to back. food motivated like crazy, would eat anything. the vets were always excited to see her because she was so well behaved, when she passed the techs sent me a 'sorry' card signed by everyone and her ink prints. i'm still so grateful; i got one of her paw prints tattooed on me so i'd have her with me forever.
what about your boy?
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
She sounds like such a sweetie. When all the vets love your pet, you know you have a good one. Is there a way ti share picture? I'd love to see your buddy tattoo
Old man whiskey isn't a super interesting story. I know many people frown on choosing a puppy and buying it, but I buy my doggies from a reputable and ethical breeder for dobermans (big slobber huggers) but this summer I am adopting a shelter dog to hopefully bandaid my heart.
thefivetenets@reddit
https://imgur.com/a/WsvnqUj heres the most 'professional' pic i took of her when she was little with my camera for a good face pic ft. my friend in the background.
i dont think theres anything wrong w buying from a reputable breeder if you're looking for a certain breed. but tbh, definitely try a shelter dog when you're feeling a little better; they'll absolutely warm your heart and they need a home so bad.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Snoot :']
Fuzzy-Produce104@reddit
I’ve had 2 Dobermans. 1 was my favorite dog I ever owned. He was the best of the best. 2nd one was kind of an asshole. I still loved him but my boy Puddy (named after Elaine’s boyfriend, Seinfeld) was so good.
They both passed away at 10 years old due to congestive heart failure. I miss them dearly. Beautiful dogs.
messica808@reddit
So sorry for your loss! My IG currently has CHF. She’s 11, but I’m not holding my breath that she makes it to 12 in 2 months. Such a sweetie and cuddle bug; I’ll be devastated when the day comes.
messica808@reddit
Sounds like semi Italian greyhound kinda dog!
Business_Wind6122@reddit
Lost mine to cancer after 13 years of life, 4.5 years ago and it's still...every goddamn day
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
I'm so sorry about your buddy, what were they like?
Early_Macaroon_2407@reddit
I’m sorry, internet person. They could live a thousand years and it wouldn’t be enough. Take care of yourself.
Ive-no-idea@reddit
I'm so sorry about your puppy! 🫂 That looks like a very comforting meal though, nothing shitty about it. I'd have meatballs in white sauce with anything!
Sheepherder-Optimal@reddit
After seeing this post, i was struck with an intense craving for this exact meal. So that is what i ate for dinner tonight and it was excellent!!
mudokin@reddit
I really had to think what tongo was, and why his dog got it to sleep, then it hit me.
All the best my dude.
Live_Example_7996@reddit
MarshMllow420@reddit
What?
Sea_Structure_8692@reddit
At first I was like huh? Then I realized it is meant to say: my dog had to go (put to sleep) sleep.
MarshMllow420@reddit
Oh shit that sucks sorry man
Sea_Structure_8692@reddit
I had to put mine to sleep last year so I understand how OP feels
Lucas1543@reddit
Sending lots of love, be strong. Pouring two out for the pupper 🫂🫂🫂
bellamente123@reddit
That looks like Finnish meatballs! Are you by chance Finnish?
bellamente123@reddit
And also, I really do hope your holding up. I miss my kitties every single day. They are family after all
John_Candy_@reddit
i’m so sorry. i lost my boy Henry a couple of months ago after 10.5 wonderful years. i know how hard it can be. your pain right now is a testament to the love you gave him, and loving like that is very special.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Was henry super cute? What was his signature move?
John_Candy_@reddit
smiling when you came in the door! or going between your legs for a butt scritch.
what was your lil fella’s signature move?
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
I swear some dogs have better smiles than humans... would he want a hug while between therez or just the scritch?
Whiskeys was Goosing your caboose. If he liked you, and you walked past him? poke then suddenly demure
John_Candy_@reddit
he sounds like the sweetest boy! Henry was just there for the scritches 😂
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
What was henry like? Was he a big or little guy?
John_Candy_@reddit
he was a retriever mix. softest black coat you ever pet
Apart_Pineapple2392@reddit
What is white sauce? I want some. Sorry about tongo.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
This sauce is olive oil (with a pound of meatball mince seasoned and seared through it). Deglaze with half a cup of white wine once you have crispy beef bits and maillard goodness. then cook 2 big scoops of mushroom, one big scoop of shallot. Once those are done add half a cup of cream, a cup of stock, prwviously seared (or dried) herbs de provence. Simmer yoir balls in for aboit 20 minutes once the sauce is done
CinemaDork@reddit
Do you not know what sub you're in? 😅 This is legit work here.
Apart_Pineapple2392@reddit
This is in the wrong sub. This dont sound shitty.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Lol X.x i guess i posted here because I was feeling shitty while cooking something mid... deglaze ia a big word sometimes, but i believe in us, lol
CinemaDork@reddit
I totally understand and I am so sorry for your current circumstances 😢 still, this looks very good and your recipe is on point!
Apart_Pineapple2392@reddit
That sounds great. I was hoping it came in a jar, 😆
St0n3yB410n3y@reddit
I’m sorry for your loss. We lost our good boy on Christmas eve last year. I miss him a lot but I know he’s still here wagging his tail in spirit and putting his head on the side of my bed. Stay strong OP, I’ll pour one out for both of our babies <3
bizoticallyyours83@reddit
I'm sorry about your best friend. 🫂
noodle-face@reddit
Every pet owner gets it man. Ripping a gummy for pup tonight.
acemonsoon@reddit
Aye, my childhood dog lasted 13 years, my current pupper is….holy fuck I just realized she’s 13 years right now holy fuck I’m really sad.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Awww, what's she called? And what is she like?
acemonsoon@reddit
her name is Bella shes a complete sweetheart!! she is a German Shepard Golder Retreiver mix and her original owner got her to be a hunting dog. she is terrified of loud bangs and i think she was abused by her original owner too when she didnt fill out her intended role. she literally loves kids and strangers and chasing the squirrels up our trees. we (used to) go for walks every day i took on a traveling job and i unfortunately dont get to see her so much anymore. now that the timeline is setting in im very sad because yeah i havent been around to give her a good life and shes on the tail end of hers 😞
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Oh, she sounds like a squirreling dog in another life. Full of energy. Loving the outdoors, lots of energy to spare. I wish you guys the best as well.
noodle-face@reddit
Mine just hit 14. My oldest living dog. Unfortunately I know we're on the tail (heh) end of her lifespan. I make sure I treat her like a princess for whatever remaining time we have left.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
It really made me a little geeful when i got to start cooking anythint good for the old man. Yes he is went. But he FINALLY GOT why i guard my morning bacon, Haha
nenequesadilla@reddit
Well dammit, that got me. To quote Isbell, “It gets easier but it never gets easy”
Stay strong friend, you gave them such a happy life.
Remarkable-Pass-2066@reddit
Dude this is the second dog ive heard went to the big park in the sky today, fml.
midwest_elder@reddit
feels bad man, Keep on truck'n.
Mother-Valuable7568@reddit
Take some time for yourself. A pet is family and impacts me like crazy when they go. What's in the white sauce? I'd use a different "vehicle" but it's your food. Enjoy it and take it easy.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
What would you use? I had been craving meatballs kind of like the swedish meatballs stouffers makes, and buying beef mince was easy since cookong it plain was a good treat for the old man last week or so!
Mother-Valuable7568@reddit
Maybe some egg noodles to spread the sauce around on?
Sunshine030209@reddit
Or mashed potatoes. But egg noodles are great too!
Mother-Valuable7568@reddit
This. Potatoes with that sauce are good too. But so many people are just avoiding potatoes now. Anytime i mention them I get slaughtered by someone. Like bro use less cheese and shit and they're not that bad. Not my fault you can't say no to a whole bag of crisps.
CinemaDork@reddit
My partner is trying to lose weight and cutting down on carbs; meanwhile, I was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and my dietitian told me I need more carbs than I've been eating. So ironically I'm eating way more carbs than he is, despite being diabetic. 😏😅
Mother-Valuable7568@reddit
Sorry about your recent diagnosis. Not usually hearing the doctor demnanting MORE carbs! You must be in good shape.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
I'm into it, actually. I'll go get a bag. Thats a great idea
Mother-Valuable7568@reddit
Good! Nothing WRONG with tortilla chips it's just if you're going Swedish it makes more sense 🤷♀️ In my weird brain anyhow.
AshleyTheRae@reddit
Hugs, man.
rox_underscore@reddit
I'm so sorry. I'll give my little guys a hug in whiskeys name 😩
Accomplished-Sea-687@reddit
This next bong rip is for your pup. Sorry for your loss
TryDry9944@reddit
My dog is starting to get up there.
But the pain of grief is only as strong as the joy of the love you two shared.
And when the grieving is over, the love remains.
PS5OWESMEALIMONY@reddit
Awww damn bro,sorry about your dog,what was their last meal,thier favorite i hope.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
I cooked him a pack of bacon yesterday, then cooked chicken in the fat for today. He had a nice send off
tucsonmilenkovhs@reddit
Tongo. Nice.
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Yes, was supposed to be "to go", but i have autocorrect disabled. Ruins moods sometimes.
x249j@reddit
May Whiskey be enjoying rolling fields, endless treats, and belly rubs in the Great Beyond, and may memories guide your path, friend. Wishing you the best.
norobo132@reddit
I’m sorry. I was just missing my dog who I lost last October. Take care of yourself, I promise the pain will be less devastating eventually xoxo
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
I know, I've been having pets since I was 5, but it never feels like the right time. He had such a good day today, it made me want to cancel, but I know now he will never stumble down another stair, and he will be remembered because my love and his eternal wiggles have made an imprint on eternity
norobo132@reddit
There’s no time that feels right, but take comfort that his last day was good. My boy went fast and I regret not knowing his last days were his last.
What was his name? I’d like to think of Huck meeting him up there for some of those legendary wiggles xoxo
ReDemonRe@reddit (OP)
Whiskey was his name, i hope huck is vibing up there too
LudusRex@reddit
Heartfelt condolences.
Take comfort in the love you brought to each other's lives, and also in tasty meatballs.
BustyCelebLover@reddit
I’m sorry for your loss 🥺
giyomu@reddit
Fuck. Be strong bro.
