Last week I spent 5 days straight trying to keep my kittycat/best friend alive...it didn't work
I'm sofaking sad and not sure what to do.
I'm sorry to hear that. I know how you feel, We had to put my dog down in march. It was the hardest thing for me to do! 17 years I had her and it seemed she was always there when no one else was. I still have two dogs now but I miss her so much. Sometimes I will be driving home and think...Going home to see my baby girl....oh wait, no I'm not.
i know, yesterday i passed the animal hospital where barley (my dog) passed and i thought, maybe id be able to pick him up((
That's hard...it's like when the hospital called and said Molly's ready to come home. Yippee...oh wait, it's not really molly :-) or the 1st night when I came home without her, i went straight to bed, Sam my Labradoodle ran up and down the hallway until my husband came in...no molly....came and laid beside me and whined and whined and whined. Then at dinner he wouldn't eat until i " fed molly"! Three weeks like this...I couldn't take it anymore, so we bought Sam, Daisy a goldendoodle :-/. The 1st night, I cried and thought...how could I replace my friend. Still miss her lots. Last week especially because it was the 1st time I had NO DOGS (construction at home...whole other story) around me so I really missed the greetings at the door or the nudge to " pet me".
Yeah they are pretty amazing! no matter what the are right there to greet you with a wagging tail
I have 2 dogs right now, Jager (yellow lab) he is My dog (follows me everywhere) and emma (german sh haired pt) shes my husbands dog. I dont know what ill do if/when i lose either of those, But my jager it might just destroy me hes been like my guardian angel. Hes always been kind of like an old soul ( like a reincarnated grandfather) lol. I guess we have to enjoy the time we have with the animals that are here with us and keep the memories of the ones no longer, close to our hearts 0 -

That is the hardest part...I put a little reminder under the corner of my doormat so that I remember *before* I open the door that nobody will be running up to say hello to me and get cuddles. Those days when I'd forget he wasn't there were the worst.
I had found some old pics of him and put them on the kitchen counter...they got wet & stuck together and I feel so guilty about that..someone broke into my storage locker awhile back and stole all my boxes of pictures so those were all I had from when he was young. Dang!
And I have to figure out how to get the last horrible days out of my head and remember the awesomely fun and sweet 16+ years we had instead. Why does my brain torture me?0 -

It will get better. The last 24 hrs with Molly were hell!! She wouldn't lay down because she was scared she couldn't get back up...she walked into corners and banged her head over and over again. I had to leave for work, the joy of being a contractor, when I returned...she was stuck in between my night stand and bed, laying there in a pool of urine and drool ( extreme panting going on). That night I grabbed a blanket and " slepted " with her on the floor. The next day I knew what had to be done....there was no maybes this time. At the end, I knew Molly was in peace. She did a lot for me and now it was time for me to let her go.
Your right though...even with my dogs now...I still miss Molly not greeting me at the door!
I'm sorry your pictures got wrecked and stolen....I had a couple in photo albums but the ones on my computer are gone...it crashed.

Thank you!! Clyde's last 24 hours were spent at the hospital in an oxygen chamber...the last couple of times I saw him he was drugged and shaved with an IV needle hanging off his leg He had multiple x-rays and blood draws and even an ultrasound of his heart & lungs..I would give anything to have had him with me on that last night! I would have gladly slepted with him on the floor
Yesterday I gave away the leftover food, litter, box liners and drinking fountain. I'm keeping his carrier full of his toys though. It helped to be able to help another animal & owner out.0 -

I don't know what's worse... My Neo (dog) started coughing so we took him to the vet. She ran some blood work and called me the next day to say he had a heart problem and to call a specialist immediately. She said it could take up to a month to get in to see him. Poor Neo died that night in my arms. I'm not sure if I would have wanted to know he was sick or had it the way it was, had him ripped from me so suddenly.
I gave away everything... His bowls, his crate, this toys, his food... everything. I couldn't have it around anymore and I knew people who could use it. And every time I did laundry and happened to catch a glimpse of a white towel on the floor I would think it was him and start to cry. It will take time to get over this... I'm still not over it and it's been a year and a half. Non-pet owners don't realize that they are like our children, our best friends, our confidants... We are here for you if you need us!

And I am SOOOO appreciative of that...everyone at home was really sweet, but now they definitely expect me to be over it..not gonna happen! Except my mom who totally gets it and calls me every day
I think you were lucky with Neo..and he was lucky to be with you, at home, in his safe and happy place, when he died.
Lemme see if this works to show him off...16+ years and he never stopped hanging on the bathroom counter with me..lovin' on his brush lol..

OMG! You are gonna make me cry! How cute is he! Everyone kept asking me if I was gonna get another dog, so I know what you mean... Some people just don't understand.
Neo had a heart attack and was struggling to breath and could not move when he woke my BF (now ex-BF) up. He must have tried to wake me but I didn't hear him... So as he was struggling to get to his side of the bed, by BF heard him fall against the wall and woke me. I was calling the animal hospital with him in my arms and he looked up and me and then was gone. I just kept thinking... What if I woke up earlier? What if I had gotten him to the DR sooner? You at least got to try to save Clyde... You did everything you could. I'll always wonder if I could have done more... I hope it brings you come comfort to know that you did all you could for Clyde. He loved you (and his brush) very much! 0 -

And all I keep thinking is how I could have done things differently or better...I mean, I sang him off to sleep and I have actually berated myself for not doing it louder...like I said, our brains just torture us like this!
CHEERS! to our most dearly, dearly beloveds..let's each tell a good story now. One of my favorite things Clyde would do is get himself up as high as he could (in my current place that's the top of the fridge) and then yoooowwwwl until someone came up and admired him for it. Then he was happy and would come back down. He just did it for the applause!0 -

I had stomach surgury and Molly was the only one around. I was on the floor with her and I couldn't get up...the pain. All of a sudden she crawled under my chest and pushed up....it was amazing...she never did nothing like that before. That night (not allowed to sleep on my stomach) she crawled in between my legs so I couldn't roll over almost like she knew. After that she always helped me up.
I haven't gotten rid of everything of Molly's and but could never bring myself to share with new Daisy...plus I can't bring it out...it drive sam nuts!0 -
What a smart and loving girl!!!0

Neo has done so many wonderful things. One of my favorite memories was when he was a baby... He was so tiny and he was afraid of the stairs at my parents house when we went to visit. I left him upstairs and went to get something. I went to go back up and he was slowing making his way down. He would put his front two paws on the stair and then slide his butt off the side, landing with a thud! Then he'd go to the next one and inch over to the edge, put his paws down and slide his butt off! He did this for 12 stairs till he finally made it down!0 -

Hahaha that is so cute! My parents' old dog learned the same way...and then he decided he liked sitting like that so he would always be perched with his feet on the floor and his butt on the bottom stair 0 -
Okay it has been awhile but I feel a huge ***** fest brewing. First and for most before I begin this rant it does not pertain to anyone who is a member of "just between friends". So no one should take offense, just need to get this out of my system before someone gets their feelings hurt.
Here it goes. I can not stand know it alls, especailly the ones who do not know it all yet think they know it all and feel the need to express their "knowledge" on every single frickin subject. SHUT UP!!!!! Or at least before you start running your big mouth get your damn facts straight!!! Sometimes its not even factual its my opinion and that is wrong too?? WTF go worry about your own problems and issues. It's now very clear why you have no friends, you prob drive everyone who attempts to be nice to you completely insane to the point the want to choke you out. And seriously nobody needs your commentary on every single word, thought or action they make. Especially since you are wrong about 99% of what you say!! I thought about correcting you everytime you say something incorrect or that I disagree with but that would be a fulltime job.
Ok I think I am done. Good night friends:flowerforyou:0 -
and apparently I can not say B I T C H in my post thanks mfp for censoring me I needed that lol:laugh: :laugh:0
