Brings back memories of when we lost "our" Sophie.

I am sorry your feeling down, having recently lost a family member I am struggling not to write something that may cause offence so I am being as impartial as possible.

Having said that I understand the attachment people have with their pets and it can be sad when they die, no matter how long you have with them. When my dog was run over I cried like a baby, but after a whopping vets bill and a few weeks in plaster she was ok so I know you can get very attached to pets.

Chin up and remember the good times, you gave him a cracking 9 months.

So sorry for your loss. You've not just lost a dog but a family member. It's not easy at all. But, as others have said, you gave him the best life you could and were there when he went.

But he will remain in your memory forever

I know there are some animals I've known which I will remember far longer than some people

Sorry to hear your sad news Yello. Losing a member of the family is awful and I don't care what anyone says, pets become a much loved part of a family and it hurts like hell when we lost them. I cried for days when my cats died but it does get easier. Just let it out and be open with how crap you feel.

Sending lots of support & sympathy from the tdr1nka household.

You have all my best wishes Yello. I had one of my cats put down earlier this year. Even though she was a good age it hit me very hard, but it gets easier with time.

 

[yello]

Thanks all for your kind wishes. It does help just to be able to read them.

My wife and I have been out for a few hours. It's silly but I don't want to be here, because Titi's not here. So I've just been out and sat by his grave. I had to. I wanted to talk to him, wished I could hear him growl at me one more time. It hurts like hell. It really does. Yes, more than when some family members have died... because I didn't really know them. Titi was part of my life everyday.

I really don't know how to deal with this. I have talked and talked with my wife until it feels like there's nothing left to say. So I start again. I thought talking helped but I seem to be going nowhere. I'm tired, I know. Tired and emotional. I only got about 2 hours sleep last night. And it's been a stressful 10 days. So I'm probably emotionally drained, all off balance. I'll get an early night. I'm riding tomorrow, hopefully that'll help. Thanks again all.

Everyone is clearly with you. Me too. And very clearly no one thinks that anything you feel is silly. Dogs are more constant than most people, so imagine the hole in your home is a big one to fill. It will get better. lol.x

 

[Wigsie]

I do feel sorry for your pain and you were obviously close to him. Talking about it is the best thing trust me, it helps get it all out and work through the grieving process. I did not mean to imply you were being silly, pets are seen by many as a 'part' of your family so it is difficult when they are gone, it will get easier with each day.

sad news yello.

 

[badkitty]

Oh yello, that's sad. So sorry.
You were brave to take on an older dog.What a very special thing you did, and what a lucky dog to find such a loving home so late in life.

 

[Jim_Noir]

Yello, sorry to hear it, you gave the hound a great home. I'd like to say that the pain gets better, but it doesn't

 

[MichaelM]

Sorry to hear that. I have a soft spot for the rescued oldies, it is sad but sounds like you give him a lovely home to live out his days.
