What would u do if ur dog died?

Question

i dont think i can get over it, if my dog died...

Answer 1

I've lost several dogs my lifetime, and each time I felt like the world was going to end. It's never easy and it never gets easier when it's time to say good-bye -to a beloved pet.

About 3 years ago, I lost 3 dogs within a 7 month time frame, the last being a pup I adopted.. I didn't know that she was sick when I adopted her. The others were hard, and I cried for weeks, but the puppy was the hardest. She didn't have a chance and died from Distemper which she contacted from the shelter before I adopted her at 3 months of age. That was about 2 years ago and I still tell myself that at least she didn't die unloved, unwanted and alone at the Shelter. The two before were both 12 and had lived good long lives, but it was still hard and I still think about them.

The dog I had before those was my very first as an adult, and she's been gone for over 20 years, and I still think about her to this day. I had her separately cremated and have her ashes in an urn that sits near the head of my bed, as that was her favorite place to sleep.

I guess, you never get over it, but you learn to live with it and know that they are in a better place without pain or suffering. I like to believe that all my dogs are now having a ball waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge and I'll see them again.

Sorry I've babbled so much. I'm adding a link to the Rainbow Bridge Poem. One is just poem, and the second is a flash verson of it.

Best wishes to you :-)

Answer 2

I've lost so many animals over the years, and some of those losses have been devastating. The last dog I had to put down we'd had for 18 years. He was mostly my husband's dog, but we both loved him. For my husband's sake I kept the dog's collar; we had him cremated; and I had a tapestry woven from a really great photo I had taken of him. For the week after we had him put to sleep both my husband and our other dog were total messes! After a week I couldn't stand them moping around so we went to the pound and adopted another. She has turned out to be the most loving dog and she helped all of us carry on. She will never replace the other dog, but she makes the loss easier.

Ralph Waldo Emerson gives us the greatest quote: "If there are no dogs in heaven then I don't want to go. I want to go where they've gone."

Answer 3

We had Baxter for 7 years. Baxter was a great dog. He developed epilepsy about 5 years ago. We took him to the vet and were told that it could not be cured, but could be controlled with phenobarbitol. He would go into gramall seizures and totally lose control of his "pee and poop", he would basically make a mess. We would increase his daily dose of phenobarbitol. In the end, he was getting 6 pills in the morning and eleven or twelve pills at night. Baxters quality of life seemed to be terrible, just seemed "stoned" all of the time. One night he started going into seizures and just had one after the other, non stop. We knew what had to be done, we had to put him down. Yes, we were very sad, but was Baxter truly happy living the way he was?? Sometimes just giving the dog peace seems to be a lot better.

Answer 4

Move on with life, I had a 7 months old Boxer who got run over by a speeding heck. At first few weeks, you may be overwhelmed with pain. But don't worry it will not last as long as you think. Get another dog may ease the pain. I do that and very soon I stop crying at the thought of my dying puppy.

Answer 5

I love my dog. I've had her since she was a week old. She was an orphan. So, I had to bottle feed her and get up w/her at night. I can't imagine being w/out her now. She is my best pal. I miss her when she's off at the park w/my husband. I think I would be devistated. I know she is ONLY a dog, but now she is a huge part of our family. I hope she lives a very long time.

Answer 6

I don't think there's ever a way to get over with the loss of something you love, be it a family, friend, or pet. I have a German Shepherd that I've had since she was 6 weeks old and is now over 10 yrs. I'll be devastated. From past experience though, I'll cry for awhile, wish she was still around, miss her terribly, but eventually move on.

Shoot, I'm going to go give her some loves now!

Answer 7

Death is a part of life, so you can't be in constant depression over your dog's death which is bound to come into effect one day. You've had great memories with your dog and you cherish those memories. If you get another one it will be frineds with your dog and be there for it. It will also be there for you when the other one dies.

Answer 8

oh boy this ? make me sad but will answer,we had to put our dog out of his misery,he had colon cancer,surgery ones ,cancer came back ,he was and still is in my heart,my baby boy,it was a English Springer Spaniel and we had him for 11 years,from puppy to adult size,and since they become a big part of your family you just love them as much and it hurt as bad as you lose a loved one.My Husband had to dig a deep hole,made a big casket,we rapped him up pretty good ,faced him toward us,facing the house,and the tears never stopped.We gave him a nice place to rest in peace .We buried our dog in our backyard,light up a candle outside or inside when it is to windy.He still in our heart and we are cherish the memories.I would do it over again,to think about it that he would had been burned with other dogs,would not do him any justice.He was the Best so he deserved the best!

Answer 9

I would be inconsolable and would probably be like the character played by Diana Keaton in Something's Gotta Give (just watched it last night). My husband tells me he hopes he dies before the dog does!! LOL

Answer 10
