Two days after my birthday, and my dog is put down. I'm a cat person, but.........he's gone. I almost can't believe it. He's been apart of my family for so long, and now he's gone. The house already is more quiet. I miss the pitter patter he would make across the floor. I miss the face he used to make when i would let him out or feed him. Tears and whatnot are running down my face even typing this. I've had a bunch of pets in my life pass away, but nothing has hurt quite like this. I loved him so much, and the last thing we did together was lay on the couch and watch anime. I have two cats left now, and if I lose them, god I don't know what I'll do.
Awwwww sorry to hear about your dog. It must be tough, seeing how close you were to him/her. What's your dog's name?
Sorry for your loss. I agree with you, I have two dogs and if they're gone I have no idea what I'd do with myself...
His name is Sam. And the weird/sad part is, I don't know how close we were. Compared to other dog owners and lovers, I would be pretty low. But, now the only thing left of him is his food bowl. I just wish I could love him more. I never got the chance to say good bye.
I'm really sorry for your loss. ): Pets can become like family members so it's not unusual to grieve after they have passed away. You say he was with your family for a long time, so I assume he was pretty old. At least you know he lived a long and fulfilling life in a loving home.
You must've been pretty closed to him, seeing as how you shed tears for him. He was an every day thing, and losing him was like....losing a part of your life, right? Well....you could always get another dog. That sounds stupid I guess, but hey. It can be like a second chance. Sam will always be a part of your memory. May Sam rest in peace. Edit - I once thought I had lost our dog we have at the moment. He had not come home for a whole day, and we waited the next day. Still no sign of him. The whole house was sad because of this for some reason. We'd always complain about him since he is a hyper rascal. I didn't care much for him, but when I thought we had lost him, I was pretty sad. Hell, I made a thread about it in the Spam Zone. He came back the next day, and now....things are back to normal. Sorry, this is about your dog. I just felt like sharing that.
Exactly. That's exactly how it feels. And no, I don't think getting a new dog is going to happen anytime soon. That's ok, it was a very interesting story.
Aw ;_; sorry Risk.. I know how it feels to loose a family pet after having one for so long, I had a dog named Cinnamon for 15 years. It can be very sad at the time, but just remember the good times you did have with him. May he rest in peace and I hope you can get adjusted to not having him around.
We had a nice little dachsund named Buster, after the Toy Story dog. We only had him a few years, he was a rescue, but he really became a part of our family. He absolutely loved people, you could just look at him and his tail would start wagging, and then if you went over to pet him, he would roll over on his stomach and wave his fat little paws at you until you petted him. He had this one spot on his neck that if you scratched just right, he would literally start grinning. Whenever we went to give him a snack, he would stand on his back paws and reach as high as he could with his front ones, which, wasn't very far, since he was a dachsund. It was absolutely adorable. Whenever he wanted to go out, he would stand by the front door and bark, and when we went to get his leash, he would start bouncing up and down so that his ears flopped all over the place. He died New Years Eve. He was almost thirteen, and we think he might have had diabetes. I know what you mean about not really being much of a dog person, I prefer cats myself, but it's like you said, he was a part of my life for so long, and now he's gone. My family's discussing getting another dog, but no one seems too enthusiastic about the idea. It just wouldn't be the same, it wouldn't be Buster. So I guess, all I'm trying to say is that I know what you're going through, and don't feel too badly, It hurts right now, but time will heal. For both of us.
Wow............this story was very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing this, and I hope you recover from your loss as well.
Oh dang man, I didn't know this happened... I was at your B-day party and he seemed like his usual self, blind in one eye and yeah... I honestly don't know what to say other than I'm sorry for you loss. Every animal can be a blessing and getting close to them is amazing. I hope you cope with this, Sam was a silly dog. Remember the good times, and hold dear to them. He's alive in your memories.
I'm really sorry to hear about your dog. I'm a cat person myself but my neighbors recently lost their dog because she had bone cancer and I feel really bad about it even though it wasn't my dog. I know how it is to feel sad and wish you had more time and not being able to say goodbye totally sucks. But eventually it won't hurt as much and you can move on with your life and always remember the happy memories and all the good times you had with him. Whenever I lose a pet/family member/loved one that's what I do. It hurts a lot and you don't how you'll make it but then one day the pain goes away and you're able to relax and just be happy that you had the time you did with them.
