My Dog :-(

[ScientistOfDarkness]

My parents just came home from taking one of my dogs to the vet ...the vet found a tumor in his mouth and said we will have to put him down within a month. I know in times like these something like a pet doesn't mean much to the next person.....but to me this is a living thing that's been in my house and a part of my life for the past 13 years. I remember when I was 8, my mother surprised me at school and took me out early to go pick out a puppy ....good memories. And sure he's bitten me countless times and chewed up so many toys, but....I'm still sad. If there are any animal lovers here, ya know what I mean. Can I get a group hug?

 

[Beast In Flames]

I'm really sorry about that, my dear

I know how you feel. It should be very hard to deal with this.

Hope you feel better soon! /forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

[ColdDarkNord]

I have 3 kitties

 

[ScientistOfDarkness]

...then ya know what it's like. I have a cat of my own that I've had for 13 years as well. Now if something were to happen to her, I would be so lost. I don't plan on having children so these are my babies.

Avi- thanks to you, group hugs rule!

Beast - Thank you for everything...especially tonight, no one else I know does for me what you do.

I like animals very much.

I love animals. We used to have a dog when I was a kid. Even if I was pickin' on him all the time I loved him. He died before 7 years... My poor Aike...
I used to have a talking gray parrot too but he fell ill and died very young, almost 8 (even it's speece can live up to 90 years).......

 

[Beast In Flames]

Beast - Thank you for everything...especially tonight, no one else I know does for me what you do.

My pleasure, sweetie!

You know you deserve a lot more though

I join the group hug! I am sorry for your dog, and hope that you will find comfort in your life, maybe in the shape of an other animal.

I had the same problem with my dog. I had to put him asleep few months ago. Had tumor on his leg, it was great tragedy in my family. He had just 9 years

 

[ScientistOfDarkness]

Ugh, I don't know most of your real names here

LCA - So sorry to hear about your dog. It's such a sad thing...I don't know how I'm going to deal with it. I really hate seeing my parents upset over it too.

kontan & keynant - Thanks for the group hugs! I lost my brother last year, very suddenly and for some reason I think I feel worse about my dog

Kobi - Thanks for the hugs, animals are the best aren't they?

 

[Love Conquers All]

Well, the worst part was that I had to go and dig him a grave in the local park while the doctor was puting him down

 

[Don Corleone]

i had two ducks (one yellow and the other black) sometime around summer...july, august i guess...they both died in my own hands...

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. DEFINITELY GO GET ANOTHER PUPPY. it makes you feel better. after all he/she is another lovely thing that you can divert your concentration to.

 

[Orphaned Matti]

hey... I'm sorry, I know how you feel...

I love animals very much, I have 4 dogs that I love very much. I used to have 3 other dogs that died in the past, at my first dog's death I was around 13 and I was all broken and shit, but as you get used to it u get to understand that continuing on (usually by getting another pet, like Don Corleone said) is a better solution than shadding tears and getting sorry.

Count me in for the group hug.

 

[Itamustaine]

Look at it that way(the bedoim way):
When that dog will pass, his soul will move to another dog and he will keep on living!
Don't worry and be strong.

 

[OnuRPHANED]

Here i'm also joining the group hug

I know what you feel
I really felt the same when I lost my lovebird, Haydut. Oh those were the funny days with my lovely Haydut

Here it is a big HUG for you and your dog!!!

BlackwaterNymph, I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I am glad though that you have some time to say goodbye. My absolute favorite cat died five years ago of a heart defect - he was only two. It was sudden, and he did not suffer, fortunately. But we had no idea, and it came as a complete surprise one evening when I came home and he was just there, on the floor.
I myself live in a house full of animals (7 cats, 1 dog, 7 birds) and they are my family. They are absolutely wonderful companions, but I hope they all outlive me since I don't think I could handle losing them.

 

[FrostGiant]

I know exactly where you're coming from. My dog got put down about a year ago cuz of a tumor in the intestines (10 yrs old). The day before she was put down I couldn't leave her side and she wouldn't leave my lap. It sucks.

 

[FrostGiant]

Oh yeah, Group hug, totally.

 

[ScientistOfDarkness]

Y'all are so sweet....yeah, I'm from Texas, we say y'all. He's still doing alright, but I can tell he's slowing down. It's really depressing watching someone or something you love get old and sick. Like my great-grandmother will be 101 tomorrow....between her and the dog I feel like I'm on a death-watch.

Anyway, I really appreciate the support and the hugs
