Answer 1

awww sorry to hear that. I know that is hard, This might sound crazy but why not just jump right in and get a puppy. This would give you something to do, to keep your mind off things. In time you will love the new puppy as much as the old one.

also if you decide to get another puppy,please check at your local animal shelter. So many dogs need good homes.

Answer 2

Well, these dogs, never ever recuperate from their life is "dog fighters". I think they did the right thing by putting the dog down since sooner or later, these dogs have a violent reaction towards any human and they lose (it's a fact) their sense of smell and after a while, they don't even recognize their "best friend". Edit: I found this article, on the website of the Humane Society of America: Dogs used for fighting have been bred for many generations to be dangerously aggressive toward other animals. The presence of these dogs in a community increases the risk of attacks not only on other animals but also on people. Children are especially at risk, because their small size may cause a fighting dog to perceive a child as another animal.

Answer 3

You will never forget, right now the pain is the main thing, Remember the good times and do not forget that you did the kindest thing for the dog you loved deeply. We must make our humans suffer but we can save our animals from that. Your other dogs are experiencing grief and loss also. Spend time giving them love and attention. Remember your dog is young and running all over now no pain and he is looking down at you right now with a very happy look. Hopefully your took other pictures of your pet. They will be a happy reminder. You will never have one like it but you will have other animals that will fill your special spots with things only they can do. GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

You probably cant do much right now, if you tried to replace her... it would feel like trying to replace a member of the family when they die. dont replace her with another dog just yet, wait till you've accepted her passing away. Try getting something else, like a bird, cat or maybe a reptile(do the research first tho!). Kittens are always cute, and help most people become happy when depressed. when you get another dog, try going to an animal shelter, pick a dog that looks sad, bring him home and see what happens, you guys might bond very close because you gave him hope, when he thought there was none. Very sorry for your loss

Answer 5

Never forget her. She was a part of your family and she'll live on in your heart. It is very painful when this is fresh and it may take some time to get over it, but in time the pain will be less. I don't know that it will ever go away. From my experience, it doesn't. My baby (boxer) was put to sleep in April. I still cry about it. But her memory lives on. So don't try to forget. Just think about all the wonderful times you shared. Be blessed.

Answer 6

I'm so sorry for your loss! I know exactly what you're going through, my little dog died 2 months ago, I had her for 13 years. It still hurts. I just know that you have to go through this grieving process, and there's no way around it. It helps to talk to understanding friends. Keep her memory, she was special! And someday when you're ready, get another dog to love. This doesn't replace her, but it does help fill that emptiness that you feel. It does get better, gradually. You have taken the first step by talking about it here! God Bless.

Answer 7

it's good to grieve, especially over something like putting your dog down. my childhood dog was put down a few months ago and it really helped to just get it all out. I still miss her and it's sad...but you probably have good memories of your dog, so think about those and it will help. don't forget about the dog. I actually have another puppy that I got for myself and it has seemed to help, but if that is something you want to do, I would wait until you are able to handle another one emotionally. I'm sorry about your dog.

Answer 8

I understand. My dog who had health problems from being neglected by her previous owner only lived 9 years. So just remember your dog had a nice long life and if animals go to heaven which I don't see why not, you'll see her again someday. If you don't believe in God that's okay. He could be real. Just remember she had a nice long good life with you. It's easier said than done. I know. I keep my old dog's collar in my room as a memory. And there's times I regret how I didn't pay attemntion to her. But don't worry. Our dogs are probly partying together in heaven! :)

Answer 9

I am so sorry for your loss and pain.
Trying to forget your dog will make you hurt worse inside. When pets die you are supposed to hurt and be miserable, and you'll take as much time as you need to get through it. Take time off work/school if you can, hang out with animal loving friends if you need company, and grieve.
Have one of your animal loving friends call a few vets and ask if there is a pet loss support group ( we have 'em out here, UC Davis sponsors a great one) near by- often they are free, you can go with friends, and there are a great place to be supported.
Remember you lost a compaion of 15 years- that is longer than many marriages last- it's going to be bad for awhile.

Answer 10

First of all, let me say I feel your pain. I had to put down my cocker spaniel of 15 years on May 11th and it was gut wrenching. It is still paining me every day. I finally gave in a few weeks later and got 2 cocker spaniel puppies, they do ease the pain, but I still miss Beau every day. They are a part of your family and it's just like losing a family member, you never quite get over it.
