Dealing with Loss

My dog passed away yesterday.

I'm sure to many of you, this might not seem like a huge deal. I mean, she's just a dog, right? It's not like she's a person. But this loss has hit me, hard. I didn't really think of her as a pet. I thought of her as a member of the family. And now she's gone.

One of the main things that made it so bad was how sudden it was and how unprepared I was for it. My grandpa passed away last summer, but I was prepared for it; I knew for years that he was slowly going. Last Saturday she was peeing blood-we took her to the animal hospital right away, and they tried everything but nothing worked. They told us to take her to the veternarian specialists at Texas A&M, which we(by we I mean my parents, because I was at University), but they could also do nothing. She passed away yesterday. Two days before that, I had a healthy and happy dog, and two days later, she was gone.

I'm filled with regret. I should have spent more time with her. I should have played with her more. I should have taken better care of her. But now I'll never have the opportunity. She lived 10 years, which is not the full life of a dog-sickness took her a few years too early. The worst thing is that I keep thinking about how much I want her back, but I know it'll never happen.

I'll get better eventually. But right now my life is a little depressing. Thanks for reading.

There is always cloning options if you h e the resources! They won't have the same personality though.

Once you rescue another dog you'll feel better.

I hated losing my dog, he was 15 and an old 'un, but still he was an amazing friend
He was literally the same age as me too, within a 1 year. So it was like he was always there with me. The best memory i have is when i was between 8-10 i would use him as a pillow when watching the TV xD he seemed to like it, he would lay infront of the fire and i would rest my head on his and watch cartoons xD So fun! He just slept away xD

Awww dogs, their so amazing
Only thing i recommend is to only remember the good times you had with her, that will make you smile every time you remember her and not think of regrets

Losing a pet always hurts a lot, I've grown up constantly having cats and dogs around and it never gets any easier. It might be redundant advice but try to think about the good life your dog actually had and the happy times you had together. In the end it's better to let go rather than having your dog suffer. Anyhow, stay strong buddy, it all sucks right now but it will get easier eventually, may your dog rest in peace.

That is sad.

I've never owned a pet so I don't care much about pets. But I do have friends who own pets and its horrible to know you're going to outlive your pets.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

First memory of crying was when our first dog died. I've lost a few pets since then and although it never really gets easier I can say that after giving yourself some time it's worth getting another :D
