Answer 1

I do still cry when I think about my dog Mitchell....however it is only because I had to put him to sleep when there was physically nothing wrong with him. He lived with my alcoholic father who would not let us take him with us when my parents got a divorce, years later I lived with my Dad for a while and Mitchy was my best friend and slept in my bed with me every night... I loved him so much he was my first dog and my baby. However because of my alcoholic fathers abuse I could not stay in the house and I had to leave for my own safety and sanity, again he wouldnt let me take the dog not that I really could anyway I was only about 16 and did not have a place of my own to live. Anyway, I moved very far away and not long after, my Dad died in the house with Mitch in there with him..... I don't know how but it drove the dog crazy and he attacked my brother when he went there and found my dad dead. Animal control took him to quarantine and makes sure he wasnt sick, but when I went to see him it was like he didnt even recognize me and was growling and acting not himself at all.... I couldn't trust him and neither could anyone else so I had him put to sleep and it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life because he was not physically sick but was mentally sick and even though he was 12 years old he was very healthy. To make it even worse the shelter gave him to me in a garbage bag after it was done, and it broke my heart and it is still broken today, I had to bury him all by myself and no one helped or was even there. I still feel so bad about it and I am bawling just remembering this to write it down.... My only consolation is that I know he is happier wherever he is because he is with my Dad who he truly loved.

Answer 2

Honey, I had to put my beloved Muffin down in 1989, and 17 years later I still tear up!

My husband and I lost our "boy" two years ago...a Shepherd Collie mix we called Alex. We had him for 13 years...he was our first "child" and he helped raise our two daughters. He was soooo protective. Not only do I get teary, so does my husband.

Do you have a new dog now? Maybe it's time. I'll bet your "old" dog would want you to give another pooch a good home! Don't think you're unusual because you still cry; you just loved your doggie very very much.

Answer 3

It's been five or six years since I lost my dog. Nicholas was his name most the time in a talk about them to use his name. Most people think I'm talking about a kid. He acted like one sport rotten and very playful. I thought he wouldn't hurt a fly beautiful dog. I still miss him I had him from the time He was born. You never forget them. He will always be a part of me and I loved him.

Answer 10

Yes it is perfectly fine to still cry. I still cry. But you would realize that it was there time to leave. But if you had to put it ot sleep, don't think that you killed him. You had helped him. I mean would you rather have him suffer?
