    My dog passed yesterday

    We were blessed to have her for 15 years... Jackie our Jack Russell. She passed away yesterday at home. She was definitely my dog, always following me.

    I had convinced myself that I would be at piece when the time came, but I am finding out today that I was wrong. It’s amazing how deep one’s feelings can be for a pet.

    It's hard when we lose a long time family companion. My golden retriever is 14 years old. She just keeps going and going. I think she lives on for our younger dogs. Going to miss her a lot when she does pass.

    I am sorry for your loss. I feel your pain, dogs are wonderful companions. We have had 3 die in the last year. Skip was a 14 year old jack russel and she passed last November. I don't know how long it takes to get over the loss, it gets better but not much...………………………………..Curdog

    They always take a big chunk of our hearts with them when they leave us.
    Very sorry for your loss.

    Being a veterinarian I see people in your situation much more often than I care to. If you do not love your pet, it is just a dog. It is never easy to loose something you love, but it is part of life. It will get better with time ( sometimes a long time), but it will get better. Grieve for a time then jump back in and get you a new pet. It will never fill Jackie's paw prints, but it will make the tough time easier.

    It is soo hard to lose a friend that loves you unconditionally. More than once I've been mad at God for making their lifespan so short

    My condolences. They are much more than a pet, they are family! I got two that are around 10+ yrs old. My Daphne is whiting out fast, and starting to show her age. Plus I just had her at the vets on Friday because she really limps when she gets up and it use to go away as she got moving, takes a lot longer before she quits limping. While they was checking her out they found she as a heart murmur. Her heart is enlarged some. Don't have to have any treatment for it right now. Has arthritis in her shoulders and now taking rimdyl for it. She was back there getting the xray's and started whimpering and yelping. Boy did that get to me, I got a bad lump in my throat and tears start to flow. Just like a child when they are hurting and you can't do anything about it and had to watch from the sides. I know her times is coming just don't know when, and I am not at all ready for it. I rent and don't want to bury her here because we can move from here. So I am looking at cremation and I hate to do that because I don't want it done to myself. I just don't have any options. When her times comes I sure hope she passes in her sleep and I do not have to have her put down. Getting that lump in my throat again just thinking of it. So sorry for your lost. I feel for you.

    Sorry for your loss. I've had German sheperds for years. The last time I lost one, I swore I'd wait 6 months to decide if I ever wanted another. Well, after 2 weeks, there I was, with another bouncing pup. I don't regret it.

    My wife and I was just discussing how our pets become family this morning. Sorry for your loss.
    Those who choose violence as a first option are typically confronted by somebody else using violence as a last resort.

    Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
