I cant even imagine when my dog passes. I really cant. He will always be my best friend that can put a smile on my face. | ||

When I was 12 my cat Heidi that I'd had my whole life was put down because a gum disease meant she couldn't eat. I loved that fucking cat, she sat on my lap purring everytime she got the chance and hissed at everyone else if they tried to stroke her, it was awesome. If my 11 year old cat Tiggy ever dies (yes, if) I have no idea what I will do 0_0 Pic related, me and mah kitteh. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/o6ibT.jpg) | ||

http://imgur.com/FDTTn I had her from a breeder since she was just a little hatchling. She was my companion during my worst and my best and even though she wasn't a cat that would purr to show affection or a dog that would bark and wag when he saw me, we still shared a deep connection. The last months of her life she contracted really bad parasites(PetCo crickets, seriously avoid that store like the plague) just as she was entering a deep brumation(lizard hibernation). Her and I fought hard to get back into shape, I force fed her, gave her medicine and slept with her in the night to make sure she stayed warm. Eventually her little heart just couldn't take the pain anymore and she let go. I miss you Sexy Legs. http://imgur.com/1YrQr http://imgur.com/FLYNv EDIT: btw some posts in this thread... what the fuck is wrong with you people? have you no heart? jesus fuck... | ||

Is having a pet like having a best friend or something? Best friends are nothing close to a companion pet. Pets don't care if you are rich, poor, ugly, etc.. As long as you are by their side, they will be by yours. Oh, and feed them ofc. And they also won't betray you, ever. | ||

On Thursday night my dog, a 10 year old black lab, fell down the stairs in the middle of the night. I thought he'd just slipped and had a freak accident, but now it's becoming more and more apparent that he can't see anymore. He's walking into doors, he can't immediately focus on where sounds are coming from, and he seems completely paralyzed by fear when it comes to moving through a room on his own. He hunches down and gets into a very rigid stance whenever he feels like I'm not next to him to guide him. He's with my sister at the moment, since I don't want him to be alone during the day, but she has two small dogs of her own and I think their attempts at playing are totally stressing him out. I've been googling dog illnesses and symptoms and warning signs, but I'm just running myself in circles. He's going in for a vet appointment today. I'm desperately hoping it's just some temporary vision loss. Even if he's blind from now on, we can deal with that together. I'm just so afraid that it's an early symptom of something worse. Not much I can do now but wait. | ||

She was bitter and old and she attack babies, smaller dogs and smelly people. My mother and father had gotten divorce years after and when Zelda couldn't cooperate with my mother's new pets (two other mastiffs), she sent her away. I was extremely torn that I was stuck with two dogs my mother treasured over my little Zelda who was once a young pup-girl herself. My father hated pets, but treated her well and together they lived a mutual lifestyle where they both exercised despite their age, she slept on tile floors and he slept upstairs: she was not allowed to sleep with him because he absolutely despised it when she'd pee on the carpet (she used to be able to hold it in while my father worked long hours, but due to her age, this was no longer possible). She died sometime last December of 2009. My father hadn't told us (my siblings and I) that she had died until March because he didn't want it to affect our studies. Little did he know that my mother has a large mouth and everyone had known about it months before... except for me. So when we had a family dinner, everyone joked about Zelda, talking about her death like it was old news and I sat there like a dope, only realizing now that she had passed. I've never felt so much hate, sadness and anger in one sitting before. wow just reading that makes me really angry Really sorry to hear thatI hope you told them how wrong that was eventually because if not at least for me bottling it up and not being to able to let it out would make me so much more aggressive every time I'd be around family. Good video in the OP it didnt make me as sad as reading through all these posts in here though like Machine's for example T_T I lost my dog a long time ago, my parents got her before my two older brothers were born. So I grew up with her all the way. When she did die eventually, I mustve been 12 I think, I took it better than many of the people posting in here, probably because I didnt get to see it at all. In his last days she had some troubles walking on flat/slick surfaces and sometimes I would have to help her up, but I guess I was too stupid to realize what that meant. One day I came home from school and I barely even noticed she wasn't there. Only at the evening when I was doing homework my dad came up and told me they had put her to sleep. I didn't even feel anything. Only a few nights later it hit me like some rush of memories and I started crying. Makes me sad that I feel like I haven't been appreciating her as much as I should have, probably taking her for granted because - well I never had experienced a time without her ever. I always wanted to have another dog but to this day my mother wont even think about letting another one in. I live in a different city than my parents though, with three other flatmates and our newest addition also brought her 7 months old dog with her. Now he's 10 months old. He sometimes bites people, he's extremely stubborn, he often doesn't listen, he eats everything no matter if its food or not, he's not the smartest dog, he's slowly fucking up my couch by eating away at its insides, he can't be left alone cause then he will bark non-stop and in rare cases even piss and shit in the house. But, even though he isn't technically my dog, he is still my dog and I love him very much  He spends way more time with me than with the other flatmates, except his owner-mummy of course, since thats where he sleeps  and I guess I'm somewhat of a father figure for him now, even though he's a stubborn fuck and I met him after his imprinting phase (if thats what u call it in english).Havent seen him since start of the holidays and I keep having dreams of people taking him away from me :p His arrival really came along with a general big upswing in my life and my emotional state along with that, he's certainly part of the reason for that, so even though he sometimes drives me mad I will always try to be appreciative, this thread certainly reminds me of that. me and my doggie: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1133.snc4/149517_453373071197_651896197_5970618_6289451_n.jpg) | ||

Doggies don't use their eyes that much so although it sucks for the poor guy it won't hinder him as much. My friend would have to give drops to her dog every some hours, she did this every day for years, thats some true love right there. I hope your dog comes out just fine! | ||

My cat went blind a few years back, possibly from running into something though it was never exactly made clear what caused it. She passed away this summer (still not over it), but before that she lived quite happily for years still after said incident, so yeah I'd second this. It was a bit awkward at first, but our animal friends really can adjust quite well to this kind of thing. If that's all it is of course, crossing my fingers for the two of you. | ||

Recently my grandfather passed away, and the only reason he hung on so long after the death of my grandmother was because of his welsh corgie (Casper), which was his only companion most days as he lived alone. The dog was so old it was unable to stand without help or go to the bathroom by itself, so after my grandfather died we put the dog down two days later. I remember thinking what a horrible way it was to repay Casper for taking care of my grandpa for so long. It was not a happy time in my life. | ||
