My dog passed away last night.

Sorry to hear about your Puppy .

The bond developed between humans and animals is amazing. I still talk of my dog 10 years later.

I had a dog from before I was born, until I was 17ish. I still talk of her as well...

Sorry about your loss bogdan. It'll get better.

Sorry to hear of your loss! Nothing worse than that...

sorry to hear about it...I'm sure you have a lot of great memories with your pup.

I feel your pain. Last week i was looking for something and came across a sympathy card from my vet after I had to put my dog of 15 years down. The next day at work I couldn't stop crying thinking about her and how it has been 6 years already....and here come the tears again.
I feel your pain.

Dan,


I had the coolest dog in the world. He was around for all the hardest times of my life and he was a constant positive thing. Hell, he would work with me go with me everywhere. Then he got out and ran away and was killed after getting hit by a car. That was probably the hardest thing I had ever had to do. I cried like I haven't cried since I was little while loading his bloody body up in the truck.... He was pretty much the most positive and happy thing in my life..


It was all I thought about for awhile and it almost put me on suicidal watch I haven't been that depressed since I got hurt.....but everyday it gets easier. Of course now I practically have panic attacks every time I see something on the road... I will never get over that.


You can take joy in the fact that she lived a long life and she was lucky to have you as a family rather than some dog stuck outside in the cold.


I had my dog cremated and he now sits on top of my entertainment center with his bowl and his favorite toy. It makes me feel a lot better.

At your age you will go thru this many times in your life. It's never easy. But the good times you two most likely had will enrichen your life and if you were a good pet owner then you gave that dog a great life.

At age 58 Ive been thru this many times with both my own dogs and those of the parents. Right now my best friend (whitney) is over 16 years old. Her eyesight is failing, shes almost deaf. But her heart is strong and she has this great attitude or so it seems. She still plays with her toys though not as much and she even trys to run with the other dogs. Im really gonna miss her when shes gone. I'll wait a few weeks and then I'll start watching the pound and I'll rescue another dog and give it as good a life as I can.

I guess when you break it all down we give our pets a great life and spend a lot of money feeding and taking care of them. But what we get back cant be measured monetarily. Its priceless.

I also had mine cremated and put her in her doghouse. She's still there 6 years later.

Oh man. I am so sorry to hear that. No doubt you lost a sibling. I send you our family's best.

Sorry to hear that. I love my pups also. They are family.

Sounds to me like she died in her sleep, is that right? If so you got real lucky. Taking a dog in to be put down is pretty tuff. You dont want them to suffer and you dont want to lose them. Tuff call.

sorry for your loss..dogs give you unconditional love,something humans have a hard time doing..dogs and animals are very special in our lives..we can learn from them too..

Sorry to read about your loss, each of my dogs past and present have all held a special place in my heart.

sounds like she lived a great long life. Good for both of you.

You'll never replace her but, you can do like Dougie said and give another a good life when you're ready.

Best thing that works for me is to just think about what a good life you gave your pet. And how lucky they were.

Sorry to hear about it. When I lost my dog it was a terrible time in my life. One of the best friends I ever had.

Nobody can understand it unless it has happened to them. They are absolutely like family.


Feel better...

Sorry about the bad news. I know how you feel. I still think about dogs that I had as a kid more than 30 years ago. My current dog is without a doubt my best friend and they are absolutely members of the family.

My dogs got a bit more play time today . Because of your post.

RIP poochie..

Our animals eat before the humans do. Very sorry for your loss. Our animals are family members. The bond with animals can be very strong..We are planning on retiring and starting a rescue center and kennel in the next five years. Our best friends own a successful vet clinic and we are active in exotic and endangered wildlife study and captive breeding.

Sorry for your loss. Hang in there and don't be reluctant to grieve....it's all part of the process and hope the pain passes sooner rather than later.

I too am really sorry to hear about your loss.. I have a yellow lab that is like a child to me. I'm not looking forward to the day she's gone.

My sheppy made it to 17 years. At the time that was more than half my life. That dog did everything and went everywhere with me. I remember when the vet first suggested it was time to consider putting him down, I couldn't do it.

But then, you realize you are being selfish trying to hang on to them once their quality of life has passed a certain point. A few months later I went back and he went to sleep in my arms. I thought I was doing OK but then at the front counter while paying the bill and some paperwork it all hit me and I just started to lose it. They've probably seen a lot of that at a vet.

I like to think of him released from his frail, old body and reborn as the pup I remember with the enormous paws and ears ... bounding around, forever looking to play. Like to think of people who have passed on the same.

Without the big ears and paws though.

Im so sorry to hear that. I know nothing will be the same again but I hope you and your family can get through this time of loss with the great memories of your sweet friend. Dogs are the best people there are!

Sorry to hear that.I had a pup from when I was 6 till I was 26.I was crushed as I held him and the Vet(my Uncle) gave him the shot to put him down.It took me forever to get another Dog.I've had my Dog "Moose" for 6 years now.But I still think of my dog "King" that died 20 years ago.Time helps, but losing a friend still sucks.

Sorry to hear man.
