Just lost my pet - Can't stand it without her :'(

Remember the good times you had with the dog.

+Rep and sympathy from myself.

She's a beautiful dog.
You see, when people post in here about their hamster or goldfish dying, I find it pathetic.
But the thing about a dog, is a dog is as good as a person.
They communicate with you so well, they actually become your friend.

I've never lost anybody close (including animals) due to death, so I'm in no situation to help you, I just wanted to say she was a beautiful dog

People can still value them...

yeah and I understand that it's upsetting, but when something like a dog dies it does make you think really doesnt it.

A lot more than if someone's goldfish has died.

I can understand that as a dog you are able to do things with. But i still understand how people can get a wee bit sad if a fish died, although not as much as say a dog or cat.

I have also been through it and I can assure you, although right now it seems like your world is falling apart and your crying so much and can't move on, gradually you will begin to get over it. That doesn't mean you wont think about or love your dog still as I know my dog has still got a place in my heart and I think about her every single day.

Don't worry you will get through it.

[-Dispute]

That's really sad tbh. My dogs are only young so I've still got a while before I loose them. Sorry to hear about your dog, will you be getting a new one?

Some people say that getting a new dog once yours has just died is wrong because you're replacing your old one.

But others say that they can't live without a dog in their live and need to get a new one.

sorry to hear that, when you have had an animal practically all your life its even harder to let go.

[Ostinato]

Well when I lost my dog I left it a couple of months until it all had really sunk in and I had gotten to terms with it. However, I then got a dalmatian a few months later and I think it really did help me move on.

For people who say your just trying to replace your old dog - they clearly have no idea and need to mind their own business for a start. I personally know my old dog always has and willhave a place in my heart and I'll always love her. Although I love my new dog so much as well, it's completely different as she is a completely different dog altogether with her own individual personality.

That's like saying if your ever so unfortunate to lose a child you shouldn't have another one.

I've had my goldfish for 8 years.
I'd cry if they died as much as I did when my dog died, or when my cat was put down.
