He’s been gone only two days. I can understand your loss, we had to have a dog put to sleep last year after suffering three strokes over a period of 18 months. It’s a terrible loss but I am sure you will all have lots and lots of happy memories Michelle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted November 29, 2020 #9628 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I am sorry to hear you have lost your dog and can understand the pain you're feeling, having been in the same situation. It is like losing part of your family. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaJane Posted November 29, 2020 #9629 Share Posted November 29, 2020 So sorry to hear about your dog Vampiress. I understand how sad you must all be feeling at the moment and you will miss him so much. In time you will remember all the happy times and the love and companionship he has given you for so many years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None have them have been off and they are trying the best to keep it normal for the kids we are all a bit down currently due to the dog Sorry to hear about your dog. We were so devastated lose our dog that 10 years later we still can't bring ourselves to get another, he was our second dog but for some reason we felt losing him more than we did the first dog. Ours was a schnauzer and a real character and brilliant with children everyone in our family still talk about him and understand why we can't get a replacement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we have them if we didn’t love them; if we didn’t love them how could we not mourn them? yeah that made me cry. I used to love my kitchen and now I hate it because he’s not in it. it hurts and other things are also falling apart. I need to keep it together for the girls Edited November 29, 2020 by Vampiress88 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, but a much loved cat - can't face the journey to the vet again, plus occasionally you meet an irreplaceable pet. Having said that, were I young like Vamps there is time for many pets to look forward to in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to keep it together for the girls That made me cry too -- cats for us as not had dogs but we've had goldfish, gerbils and hamsters ..... oh and Giant African Land Snails ..... bless them all. Have been there and shed lots of tears for all of them, Each one special. Hubby says that I will get attached to anything that lives and breathes. Am a right softie. Take care, such a sad time - our animal babies are part of our family and very special. x Edited November 29, 2020 by Presto2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we met we both had a cat (two boys). Putting them together was interesting. They lived to 21 and 20 ... we still feel the pain of the loss now and it was years ago. We now have two girls - rescue cats. They are just beautiful and real characters ... shame they never met the boys 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog is my world and the thought of losing him is unbearable. My heart goes out to you and I know there are no words of comfort that will help at this moment - it is too raw. But after a while you will remember him with smiles and laughter. X 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had him put down when he was 16. DW said you didn't cry like that when your Dad died. I didn't take dad out down the woods 3 times a day. The dogs lead is still hanging behind the kitchen door 12 years later. You do miss them, don't you. Edited November 29, 2020 by zap99 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to keep it together for the girls It will take a little time because you'll see him eveywhere but soon when you go into your kitchen you'll remember him with a smile. We had a beautiful Border Collie, Gemma, and when I left the house she would lay at the front door and wait for me. As she got older and wasn't so sprightly I would rattle the keys to give her time to move away from the door. After she died I still used to do it out of habit and it would upset me, but later It made me smile. It will get better I promise. Please keep posting Vamps, because reading between the lines it seems as if you need to talk. Take care x Avril 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
