a few days ago my dog died and I’m utterly lost without her. She was old when we got her (8 years) and we had her for almost 5 years, in fact the anniversary of her adoption is on the 14th. I miss her so much, it feels as though there is this perpetual emptiness without her, her existence was an integral part of my life and without her I don’t know what to do. I haven’t been feeling myself since she died, I miss her so much. She was my best friend, my sidekick, my homeslice, my nigga. I just can’t believe she’s gone

Oh Stendarr… :’-( I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your homedogg… I don’t know what I’d do without my pooch either. She’s pretty much my one true homie, with her intimidating pitbull-ness, but still a bundle of cute.
I’m mourning with you, it’s never easy losing a pet as treasured as one’s dog.
I’m so sorry. That’s a horrid feeling. 🙁
I lost my dog too. 14 years with him, I talked about it on here a month ago or so.
I had to have him put to sleep, even though he could have lived for a month longer comfortabley, but we were stranded in Duluth, and I stayed with a total stranger for a week with my loveable little guy, but at the end of the week we had to put him to sleep.
I posted a picture of him.
It’s tough, but I’ve lost my kids, my home, my dignity and Tim dying was just the frosting on the cake.
I am so, so sorry. It’s so hard losing a close pet 🙁 Just like losing a family member in my opinion. There’s no replacing the love they give :,( Know you improved her life by giving her a loving home though!
I’m sorry. 🙁
sorry to hear about your dog. Its always tough to lose a close friend like that. Even if they are old and sick and you know it is imminent, it is still impossible to prepare yourself for the pain of the loss. All you can do is try to focus on the good times, remind yourself that you gave her the best life you could. That as much as she meant to your life the last 5 years you were just as important in hers. When you are ready you should get another dog. You can’t replace one with another, but you can build something new. Maybe it will help fill part of that emptiness left behind. It won’t be exactly the same, but it could end up being something just as good and important.
I always feel like it says something about people the depth of the connection and bond they have with their pets. The way people care for and treat animals. It tells you something important about the kind of person they are.
I am very sorry for your loss. I never much liked dogs but my daughter really wanted to rescue a puppy from a litter another family had – it was the last one (the father made the rest of the litter mysteriously “disappear”). After a month or so I made Molly (the puppy) promise to outlive me because I couldn’t bear the thought of living without her. Of course they can be a challenge to have around for a hundred reasons but I know she won’t ever intentionally break my heart or fail to trust me even when she is sick or in distress. I can sense you had te same sort of trust and relationship and I know how terribly hard it can be to lose such a faithful companion.
Hold on to the good memories; they will comfort you. And she will live on in your heart.
– peace
Sorry to hear this. I used to take care of outdoor cats. Half outdoor/half indoor and I had to watch one die of feline leukemia. Horrible feeling. Maybe somewhere down the road you can get another dog. I know it won’t replace your dog and you probably don’t want to do it while you’re grieving but sometime in the future.
