just when i start feeling better, BAM something happens to ruin it. my dog had to be out to sleep, she couldnt walk and she was suffering. im glad shes not hurting anymore but i want to cry all the time. i dont know if this explains it well but im crying for me , not for her becasue shes better now and im alone. does that make sense?
she kept me company all day long, licked my plate every time i ate, came and saw me when i got up or came home, everytime i went outside to smoke she came too..........just sucks, all these things remind me and i cant stop thinking about her.

oh well, im trying to not let this bring me down too much but its hard.

So sorry about your loss.  I know how difficult it is to lose a special pet.  Time is the only way for the sadness to fade.  I had to put one of my cats to sleep last year, and felt very bad for quite a while.  When I was ready, I went to the SPCA and started looking for a kitten.  It took time to warm up to  her, but now I love her as much as my previous cat, but in a different way, cause they all have different personalities.  I think the main thing is not to prolong a pet's life if they're suffering or not enjoying life any more.

I am so sorry bunny.  I know all too well how hard it is to lose a special pet.  Over time you will feel less sad, and maybe even ready to find a new dog??  When we lost our dog it took a good 3 months before I was even ready to have the idea of another one.  I hope you do okay with this.

I'm so sorry bunny, That's a truly sad loss. No one can replace a pet. No one quite expects their loss to feel quite as bad as it does. We're here for you if you need us, and I hope you reach out and write about it if you need to. Dogs are family members too.

Hi Bunny,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and sadness. It is perfectly normal to grieve the loss of your pet. Like you said, she was always there for you and those are the memories that you need to hold on to. She was hurting and you did the right thing by her. She is not suffering anymore.

Try to make your tears into tears of happiness for the wonderful pet that she was to you. Nobody can ever take that away from you. I'm wrapping my arms around you to give you a big warm hug.

Bunny, sadly our pets don't live as long as we do. But, for the precious time they are with us we can smile and love them. When it is their time to part, then they leave all that love with us to take care of in their memory. Hold on to all the gifts your pet gave you. Perhaps in time you will want to share it with another. I'm sorry for your loss. LFW
