My dog ive had for 18 years was put to sleep yesterday. He was like a 2nd brother to me, always a good boy and very loyal. It makes me incredibly sad thinking that im never going to see him or hear his footsteps again. Although when i think of him all i can think of are the positives. When i said goodbye i spent a long time just petting him, he enjoyed it immensely, then i gave him one kiss on his head and said good bye to my best buddy.
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. It's always pretty hard to have to say goodbye to an animal. We had to put down my dog when I was 13 and I still haven't felt the way I felt about her towards any other dog. Towards cats, yes, but not dogs...it's really weird how stuff like that works out. But if you had to put him down, chances are really good he's much happier and more at peace now than he was in his old body.
Gosh, I hope my dogs don't live to be 18. Wish the one would kill over already, and he's the oldest at 9.
thats sad. Yesterday my friend had to put his cat down, and he showed up at my house with a bottle of whiskey after
My friend's cat died not too long ago. I never realized how much he was attached to it. Put him pretty down for a bit. No. I only do kitties. They're adorable.
aww. that's so sad. i'm sorry. at least you got to hold him and be with him there at the end. that means so much. i'm even getting a little misty eyed thinking about it. he had a good, long life as a beloved friend. he'll be waiting at the gate for you, tail wagging.
Moon Unit, give yourself a week or two to grieve and then go down to the shelter and get yourself a puppy. Then you'll have a new best buddy and a puppy will have a home. I get irritated with Angus every once in a while because he can be clingy and a big chickenshit, but he's my bear, and my friend.
I don't like people so much so yeah, I cry over animals. Except the ones I kill to eat. They're just dumb.
I wanted to clarify, I meant they've never made me cry because they're dicks. I've always had a way harder time getting over animal deaths than people deaths. Hell, like I said earlier, the dog we put down when I was 13, I still haven't gotten over that completely, and it's been 9 years.
