How did you deal with your pet passing away?
What was it like?
Anything you did to help you cope with it?
I've never had anyone really close to me pass away but my dog is getting on in the years and I know she won't be around forever.
It won't be easy, I know that but it's about all I can imagine at the moment...
Just wondering what your experiences were when your pet passed away. |

I dont know what Id do if my dog Kaiser died :( I dont like to think of that hes my pal.
3 winters ago we had a bad spell of lost pets at the farm. We lost 3 pet show sheep to coyotes one was a natural short hair $$. It musta been hellofa fight night for the dogs cus the sheep were still alive in the morning throats ripped out and legs knawed to the bone. The dogs were restless all morning kaiser and mugsy both were a lil injured but Lady wasnt so much. Im guessing by the amount of incoming tracks from the farm field there was 10-15 coyotes in the yard that night.
We also lost 4 cats to what I think were foxes they killed the cats and left them were they lay. They were barn cats but we really liked them cus they were friendly and great mousers. It bugged me for a long time. |

| well maybe I am a bit jaded on this since I have seen a lot of death in my time (kind of sad actually), you just deal with it death is part of life we all know that. When a pet dies it is the same as when a person dies since that pet was a big part of your life and probably one of your best friends the only real thing you can do is remember how much fun you and your pet had together and know that after a good number of years that your pet is in a better place especially if it was sick near the end of its life. |

I had a fish, it died, I flushed it. :dunno: No big deal. :p
I imagine a dog would be different though, my fish didn't have much personality. lol |

It's never easy loosing anything you were attached to and nothing anyone says will makes the hurt go away.
It's within yourself to make you feel better because only you know when to stop grieving.
Time closes all wounds. |

i had a dog that my dad had to out down when I was younger, my cat had to be out down a couple years ago, and I have lost a few fish. it was hard to lose them, but i you have to remember that you helped them live a full, happy life and they really did appreciate it and are no longer in any pain. As the old saying is, time heals.
btw: the flufball is adorable Terry! |

| Extremely tough, for me. My advise to you, if your really close with the dog, be there. I put my dog down last year, i had her for 10 years, im 23 now, you can imagine the impact she had on my life. I am so much happier cuz i was there. its a painful memory to have, (looking behind and closing the door after). but you know that she had you support right to the end. I think she was happier cuz i was there. my $0.02.:cool: |

Exactly what I was going to say. Especially if they are in pain like my dog was. Be there for her until her pain is gone. Its tough but I think its best. I was 19 at the time and my dog was 10 years old. Take lots of photos and even maybe a video to remember your pet before he or she gets too old. It's nice to have them as a reminder. And I agree that time will heal all wounds. |

| you have to keep in mind that he is just a pet, even though he may be a part of the family he is just a pet. i know its alot harder to do then it sounds but when my dog passed away that helped me get though it. |

I've had quite a few pets pass and be sent away to be put down.. I dunno how i felt.. recently my wife's cat.. well one of them got sick, liver problems. Anyhow she just started getting thin, I thought it was because i changed the food, so we brought her to the vet, now keep in mind my wife has had this car for about 12years and raised it since it was born. the vet couldn't find anything, but wanted to run blood tests, unfortunatly we didn't have the money for the tests. So we brought her home, watched her carefully, i switched the food back.
One day i was heading off to work I look down at her to say bye for the day, her cats are more like kids than cats. and she couldn't walk she couldn't keep her rear end in the air, ift kept falling over, so I called the wife she flew home, I drove them to the vet here.. the vet was outta town.. so we drove to westlock... the ran tests, and kept her over night, it was teterminedher liver was shot and that with alot of meds and time she might recover, but she would probably suffer, my wife decided to have her put down.
We flew down to westlock again for my wife to say goodbye. My wife held her while she was put down. She didn't seem to be suffering, except she was a lil more vocal than normal. My wife was devistated, I think the only thing that helped her was that we still have dade, the cat's kitten, well not so much, he's huge and about 7yrs old.
I personally hold my feelings in and unfortunalty during jr high and high school due to bugging from other kids learned to ignore my feelings. My Grandmother on my mom's side, my grandfather on my dad's side, and my uncle on my dad's side passed and I really didn't "feel" much. I was quite pissed at my Grand father's funeral cause one of my cousins was being an ass and wearing a hat during the in Chapel funeral and he was wearing a hat and smoking while he was being lowered down. At the time me and my brother always wore hats... we never took them off cept to sleep and we didn't wear hats, if giving him an attitude adjustment wouldn't have upset my grandmother so much me and my brother woulda done it.
All I can say is when my grandmother passes and if he's outta jail and attends and does the samething.. he probably will be stopping off at emerg on his way home.
I have no toerance for dis-respect and blatent arogance. |
