My dog died today

Sorry bout your dog hun.. I lost my older doggy last christmas..

i had to have my cat put to sleep a few years ago... its still the hardest thing ive ever been through which is saying alot. its amazing how attached one can get to an animal.

sorry to hear it racer, stay up buddy.

Sorry about that Racer, I know what it\'s like.

We had to put my dog down because she had diabetes.  Near the end she could hardly move or go up stairs. When we finally took her in, her veins kept collapsing when they tried to put her to sleep.

i wanted to be in the room with my cat when they did it, on one hand it was so ****ing hard to watch him die.

but i held his head while they put the shot in and he was looking me right in the eyes the whole time, i literally watched him die, and it made me feel a little better knowing that i was the last thing he saw.

im gettin teary eyed now:(

i remember when we had to have our dog put down, was really bad



may sound weird but atleast it wasnt a family member or a friend

Dude.. I\'m sorry bout yer loss man, but never having another pet again? Maybe this sounds cold.. but she was just a dog. I\'ve gone through a lot of pets out here cause the road v\'s off and surrounds my property.. so there\'s a lot of traffic. All our cats were outdoor cats (cept for the one I got now) and after having to scrape up your favorite pet in two or more pieces with a shovel a few dozen times you tend to not let it get to you anymore. We haven\'t had too many dogs.. but they were all outdoor too. Out of 10 I think only one didn\'t die by getting hit by a car. We jus had our Jack Russell Terreier get hit about a week ago. Ah.. nothing makes you loath humanity more than to watch someone swerve off the road and almost run their car into a ditch jus for the thrill of killing a stranger\'s beloved pets.

Really tho, she was just a dog.. get another one. Not to replace her.. but to do what dogs do.. keep you company, love & slober on ya, and sniff your crotch. Hmm.. or you could jus get a slightly retarded girlfriend.

Ya think that\'s bad.. trying killin em yourself. We had this kitten named Special K. He was born deformed.. his head was crumpled in and his left eye was ENOURMOUS. Nearly half the size of his head. I know it sounds sick.. but I loved the lil bastard. I spent alot of time with him cause god knows if I was all fugly like that I\'d want to be loved on a lil too. Well anyhow, after about a year it was obvious he was in pain and would be for his entire life. The only thing we could do was to put him down. I had to walk a quarter of a mile to the creek with him tied in a burlap sack.. struggling inside and mewing.. and drop him into the stream. That\'s about one of the hardest things I\'ve ever had to do. It was for the best tho.

That sucks It always sucks when animals die. I had a dog die a while ago.

If you plan on getting a new pet: Buy a bird. My pet bird is the coolest animal in the world. There are so many positive things about it, it\'s amazing.

1) He shuts up when you turn off the light.
2) He stays in one place unless you want to play with him.
3) He\'s small--easy to smuggle into airports etc.
4) He talks--he says "bye-bye" and stuff.
5) He\'s my friend--and only my friend. It\'ll bite everyone else, other than me. What a great way to keep away evil family members and stuff.
6) He\'s a tough guy. He leaves my 85 pound dog cowering in fear.
7) It doesn\'t throw up all over the house.
8) etc.

Thats messed up. I haven\'t lost a pet to death, but giving one away is hell too.

Heh tried that  , but we wouldn\'t put it down. Besides my grandmother is only in her late 70\'s and my family tends to live up into the 90\'s so chances are she would outlive the dog.

Ever try a parrot?

I\'m so sorry to hear about your loss, Racer.  But she\'ll always be with you.  Pets are like that.

Thanks guys,

She was a Silky Terrier, kinda like a Maltease Terrier, only black with tan and grey socks/highlights.

She was gorgeous. It was very strange today, I came through the door and she wasnt their to greet me. Very strange feeling.
