Sorry if my english sucks even more than it supose to, im shocked and not able to think. My choice of words may sound strange, or something. Today, my dog left me for a better world. Is name was cupidon, a beautiful Colley-labrador. My parents called me on the phone, saying that he wasnt able to move anymore, because of a problem with his hips. 12 year old, but i still cant believe it. I drove back to the family house, i was watching him trying to stand on himself, but he wasnt able to, and he probably didnt understood what was happening. Appart of that, he seemed still so full of life, he still seemed like a young dog, in apearance, and in his heart. We decided to take him to the "veterinaire", and my dog was fearful. He said that it would be a gift for him to be "eutanasied", that we could give him medecine, but that would only remove the pain. My dog seemed to understood, and tried to escape, but he understood it was useless (im still amazed how dogs can understand what his happening in certain situations.) i kissed him, shook his leg and said "Good bye, old cat (how is use to call him), have good sleep". I watched him until his eyes couldnt see anymore. He looked rassured, he wasnt fearfull anymore. He died 10 seconds later. I still cant believe he isnt there anymore, and that it was the last time i saw him. It was more than a dog, it was my friend, i grew with him, it was a part of me for so long. and now, it feels like i lost something forever, that i wont ever find again. I know it may feel stupid to some, but its amazing how close you can get to those animals, to the point that you can deeply communicate with them. It was so quick, i remember i was still throwing him balls this saturday. I just cant believe it. Heck, it did more effect to me than when my grand parents died. Today i say good bye to a good, old and close friend, cupidon. Rest in peace. Writting this is like a terapy to me. I love you guys. :crying: Sebastien
I'm very sorry to hear this Sébastien; I'm a pet owner myself and could never think of a time where he might pass on. Sadly it appears he/she may have been suffering, and maybe it was for the best. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Sorry man, I know exactly how you feel. My dog died over a period of 3 days, its just such a shock when it happens. I still feel like she should be around, even though it was 2 years ago now. Take some time to relax, and reflect, as corny as it sounds. Send me a PM if ya need anything
I'm sorry to hear that, cahaz. My brother is putting one of his ferrets to sleep tommorow, and he sounds almost as hurt as you do. I wish you the best, man.
Sebastien, I am almost crying, since I really do feel your pian going right through me, and I know what you are going through. And damn I feel like I am going to cry .
I'm sorry to hear that. I can have an idea of what you are feeling, when I lost my parakeet of five years. I wish you the best cahaz.
i really feel pity with you now, i also lost my dog 3 years back and as you said (and as hard as this may sound) it's more painful to loose a pet than a relative...
The worst is when you do those stupid and little things, like dropping food on the floor by mistake, turning your head, starting to call your dog, and remember that he isnt there anymore, that he wont be there anymore forever, and that you dont hear him coming to eat whats on the floor. And that you actually have to take the food a put it in the trash, at the place of watching your dog eating it. It may sound stupid, but its in those moments that you understand he was a part of your routine, and that its now over. After this little and stupid accident, i sat on the floor and cried. Damn, it hurts..:-( I will try to post pictures, if i can find my scanner.
It's happened to me. Some ten years ago, I had this cat that used to rub his paws, as if scratching the glass door from the backyard, but without actually touching it with his fingernails. I have three other cats now, but I still see him sometimes and go to open the door, only to realise it's been years that he isn't there anymore. I wish I could send a hug through the Internet, Cahaz.
Really sorry for your lose, cahaz. I know exactly what it is like to lose an animal you love. I lost three sugar gliders a few years back due to calcium deficiency (mother and two children). I'll be on MSN tonight for a while, so if you need someone to talk to, just give me a message.
really sorry to hear this, it's allways sad when someone close to you pass on. I just wish you the best of future
That's a sad story, I feel for you. Putting down a pet is never an easy thing. It's as hard as any emotional trauma out there.
