Death of family pet

[dwd3885]

I know that on the scale of deaths, the loss of a pet isn't nearly as significant as a person obviously. But our family lost our first pet dog today. It was bound to happen, she was a shi-tzu, 15 years old. I am 22 now and my siblings are 21 and 18 respectively. We got this dog when she was just born 15 years ago. She grew up with our family and was a great friend to all of us.

Please pray for God to heal all.

God Bless

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog after 15 years too, about four years ago. I think the loss of a beloved pet can be just as devastating as the loss of any other family member.

I'm sorry for your loss. Yes, a pet is a family member and is equal to a human, IMHO. Bless you.

I know how you feel. I had to make the decision to put our Husky pup down this summer - she was suffering.

my baby (toy poodle) died two Mays ago, on the 1st (i only remember because i noticed the calendar said it was May Day). She was 19 years old, we got her when I was two and a half about. So she was at first like a second mother (she would bark at me and my bro if we fought, it was quite funny, like she was disciplining us), then a sister to me, and lastly my precious baby. She followed me everywhere at home constantly. I was the only one she'd let hold her upright on my hip with just my arm cuz she'd hold on with her front legs

I know I am late to this thread, but I am so sorry for your loss. Believe me, the loss of one of my dogs would be devastating to me, I understand how painful it can be.

I hope that you have been feeling better these days. You and your family will be in my prayers.

I have been deeply grieving the loss of my precious baby Belle.

She was my prissy girl, my sweet girl, my pretty girl, my smart girl, my baby, my companion, my reason for getting up in the morning.

I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I will never see her again, never hear her beautiful voice, see her beautiful blue eyes. She was always with me, every day, for 14 years. Her absence leaves a huge hole in my life. I truely don't know how to live without her.

I'm so sorry, Auntie.

Four+ years later and I still grieve the loss of my baby-dog. It does get easier over time, but I'm not sure the pain ever really goes away.

i think we should post pictures of our pets, like from when we got them to when they were grown. Does anyone like this idea?

I love that idea.

 

[3girls2dogs]

I love that idea, also. I will have to hit the scanner hard. How ironic, because I just this weekend found pictures of my female boxer as a puppy. Fenny was full grown when we rescued him. But he is soooooo handsome, he photographs well

Yes. But I don't have too many pics of Belle. I guess I thought I would have her forever. I have a few pics when she was a pup, and a few pics taken a couple months before she died. That's all.

 

[Auntie]

Oh boy, I have a problem. The last pics of Belle had red-eye. I took the pics to a photo shop, and they did a horrible job of removing the red-eye. This pic doesn't look anything like her eyes, not at all.

I'm posting the pic anyway, because I want you all to see her, but her eyes were a beautiful blue.

UGH, the pic is too big. I don't know how to make it smaller.

Hope this is better.........

Oh, what a beautiful baby! I love her coloring!

She had a "coat of many colors". I hate the way that photo shop ruined her eyes. I'm going to have to find someone who can fix that.

I'll post puppy pics tomorrow when I'm not so tired.
