I've lost several pets over the years, and I've learned that it can be one of the most difficult things to deal with when you're really attached to the pet.
I discovered that when we lose a person we love Nature numbs us a little, and we're in enough shock or grief that we don't completely feel the full force of the grief. When we lose a pet it isn't so horrible that we get the benefit of that numbness, and as a result I've found that I am far less able to remain composed than when I've lost a person!
Getting used to living without the pet, getting over the sadness of its death, and getting past that wish that it would come back all take a little while (not years, by any means, but longer than you'd think it would). I found I'd look at pets that looked like mine and kind of stop for a while because it was almost like being able to see mine again. I've gone through the think of wanting to get a new kitten or puppy because they are so sweet and cute they might brighten my days. Each time, I've held off getting another and with time that longing to get a new little one dies down as well.
Losing a dog (or cat) is a very real, difficult grief; and people can sometimes feel stupid for feeling so horrible about an animal. Don't. Its real. Its a real loss. It takes getting used to living without someone we've had in our life for a while.
I don't have a dog right now because the death of my beautiful, sweet Collie several years ago just knocked me for such a loop I'm not sure I can ask to go through that kind of thing again.
What a person CAN do when they lose a pet is to try to keep their mind of it as much as possible. Find other things to think about or busy your mind with. It takes a little while - longer than you probably would have thought before it happened but not as long as you may feel it will immediately after the death.

Oh my God. My dog just died on Friday. She was pregnant and got really sick. We took her to the vet and the doc said that even with an operation there was less than 10 % chance that she would live and since some of the puppies were already dead inside of her the chances were worse. I cried so much. I still can't believe she is not with us :(.

I have two dogs and I love them very deeply. I would not want them creamated or tossed away" as medical waste. But at the same time, I don't really feel justified ininvesting in a "Pet Sematary" (Stephen King book) I would like to leave their bodies to a veterinary school to be used to teach new up and coming vets.
PS: I have had a lot of dogs in my life, and I've cried over every one of them. It hurts to lose a close friend. Heck, I'm tearing up as we speak; both my dogs are at my feet right now!

i have lost such a large number of animals over the years, and a number of those losses were devastating. The very last canines I had to positioned down shall we had for 18 years. He became usually my husband's canines, yet we both loved him. For my husband's sake I kept the canines's collar; we had him cremated; and that i had a tapestry woven from an particularly great photo I had taken of him. For the week after we had him positioned to sleep both my husband and our different canines were entire messes! After a week i could not stand them moping round so we went to the pound and followed yet another. She has grew to develop into out to be the most loving canines and she or he helped each and absolutely everyone keep on. she will be able of by no ability replace the different canines, yet she makes the loss a lot less puzzling. Ralph Waldo Emerson supplies us the staggering quote: "If there aren't any canines in heaven then i do not favor to flow. i favor to flow the position they have lengthy gone."

One of my dogs died almost two years ago. It was one of the most horrible experiences I have gone through. It's like part of your soul is missing when they go.

It is really hurting if your dog dies..
Especially the days and throughout the years they were there
beside you and the family...
when i was pregnant,
my mom sell our beloved dog for 120 phil pesos AND
IT IS because..she was afraid when the baby arrives..and the
fleas were all over, the dog was quite old and getting stinky..even
he takes his bath..
And I cried alot when I saw him going far, along with other dogs
crying out loud..And we are sure that the vendor who bought our
dog, will kill our dog for their meat...huhuhu...:-(
but anyhow..We really love our dog..
HIs name is Bait..

I would probably be hysterical for a while. Then I'd think of what a good friend he was, and get a new dog ( and probably keep framed picture of him somewhere).

Wrap it up in a heavy duty plastic bag and put it in the garbage.
