I'm so sorry Steph  I know how hard it is to lose a dog...both my family dogs died suddenly and when they were still reasonably young, and I still think about them. Hang in there and know that we're here for you

Hey there, Pretty Lady,
That's tough. We had to put down our loving dog after 13 years, and it was hell. I know what you're going through. Have you considered going right out and getting a puppy? It was the best thing for us; I just wish we hadn't waited as long as we did, because the grief process wouldn't have been as extensive. The new puppy helped us a LOT. While we'll never forget Max -- there could be no better dog -- we loved Murphy, and then MacKenzie, just as much, but in a different way. Different kinds of dogs, different kind of love. While Max was extremely obedient and protective, Murphy was a total lap dog and Kenzie would run from a fight.
Okay, I'm rambling here -- I hate that. What I'm trying to say is the best way to get over your grief is to go right out and get yourself a new pet -- not a replacement -- but a new love. And just think, if you found the right one at the Animal Shelter, you could save a life in the process.
{{{{Hugs}}}}}

Stephie,
I'm sending you hugs. I'm tearful. To lose a best friend, your dog. Sometimes, I think our pets understand us better than we understand ourselves. I'm sorry.

This just sucks so much.
While I was away, I used to wake up crying from nightmares of my dog dying.
She was such a good dog.
I would love to go out and get a puppy, but neither Adrian nor I are around enough right now to give it the attention it needs and I want to be a good 'puppy mommy'. We also have to keep in mind that we are gonna be moving soon, so have to make sure we have an animal that can move with us.
My mom has been hassling me today, of course. I feel like sh!t. I just want her to leave me alone, but that is just out of the question it seems. She has already done the big manipulation guilt trip on me and even though I recognise it, it still just really upsets me. I hate it. I know I shouldn't, but I just feel like I hate her so much sometimes. Why does she always have to make everything so much worse than it already is??
I am going to start looking for places for us to move out tomorrow, this just isn't worth it for me. I have been sick all day.
You guys are so great. Thanks for sharing all your stories, I know everyone has had to lose a pet and it's so hard.. I just... Well, I just want my dog back!!

So sorry Stephie! Mine's 14 and on his last legs too. I keep waiting and dreading it. I think you think you are prepared for it but when it does actually happen, it's hard. I'm not looking forward to it We've had ours since we got married. He's part of the family needless to say! I have a cat too but all you dog people out there know that having a dog is MUCH different. I'll definitly miss him...
Big hugs! Hope your mom is treating you better these days
