So I came home really late last night, completely wasted. Then I just woke up, and my mom told me that they had to put my dog down. I was pretty attatched to her, so I'm so freaking sad right now. I had no idea it was so hard losing pets. I mean, we've lost pets before, but man, that's a long time ago. The reason for putting down our previous dog was that she was really aggressive and stuff. So I kinda had mixed feelings about that. But this dog only got to be around 5 years, and her heart failed. I cannot stop thinking about her, and I feel so ridicilous, because I always seem to think people that cry over pets are pretty.. pathetic. And here I am in the same situation D: So tell me how you dealt with loosing your pets? I still have one dog left, and I would've been pretty devasted if it was her we lost. She is my sunlight xD
I'm sorry for your loss. It's always hard to lose somebody close to you. Remember the good times, and talk about her with your family.
when I read that I thought you were talking about your other dog, and I felt really bad for you. That is still extremely unfortunate, but at least you're other dog is fine I'm definitely not looking forward to what it's going to be like when my dog dies. It's not something I've ever had to deal with before, because nobody ever gets too attached to fish
Thanks <3 The hardest part right now is seriously to see how depressed my other dog is - and yes, I honestly think she's depressed o.o she doesn't eat and she sleeps all the time and she wants to lie next to me all the time.. I had no idea dogs reacted like that.. wow
Find a replacement. Find something to fill that feeling gap before it closes !!!! A freaking cheese is softer than a howling knife!
Yeah dogs react to deaths in family as well. I see a lot of dead bodies while at work (yay me...) and whenever there is a family pet at the place the dog always seems "depressed". It generally is very quiet, stays near the body and doesn't move. Very lathargic etc. Kinda sad really. Anyway, I'm sorry for your loss. I know its hard losing a family pet - I've had it happen. Pro tip: keep an eye on your other dog. You don't want them to fret and cause them self too much stress or they could get sick/die also. Might need to spend extra time with the dog and keep it occupied. Even like Fasty suggested, possibly a new dog.. not as a replacement because nothing can replace a family pet, but as a new addition to keep your other dog company and help with the healing process.
