My Doggie Died This Morning :(

naylon511 · December 2011

My parent's dog that they got when I was still living at home, so I always felt he was mine too, died this morning. He was an 11 year old golden/lab mix. He was just being kind of achy and not as spry the last few days and my Mom brought him in and they checked him and didn't find anything obvious and told my Mom to see how he did in a few days before they started doing things like xrays, etc.

This morning he didn't get up when my Mom came down and she coaxed him up and outside to pee where he just collapsed and died. I'm home today and she called me to come help her and we had to get him to the car and bring him to the Vet. It was so sad. Jane LOVES him and was just asking for him this morning. I know she won't really remember him long-term, but I know she's going to be looking for him.

Anyway, no point to this other than to get my feelings out. We still haven't told alll my siblings yet. My brother in Poland was especially close to him and is going to take it really badly since it'll come out of nowhere for him.

I feel your pain, my family dog of 17 years had to be put down on Sunday. He was a pomeranian poodle mix. My parents had to make the decision to put him down because he was in heart failure and the treatment they would have given him wasn't likely to work. Crying

Thoughts to you and your family. It is hard to lose a pet, they really are like another family member.

So sorry for your loss. I know how devastating the death of a pet can be.

((hugs)) My mom had to put our dog down early last year (we also got the dog while I was still living at home and in HS). I cried and cried and still get sad when I am at her house and there is no Madison. She has a new dog but it isnt the same. I felt so bad for my mom because the dog was everything to her since she had been living alone for the past several years.

I dread the day that the dog DH and I have passes away. My girls love him.. ugh it's gonna be so sad!! Although he was barking the other day and Abby yelled at him to stop and then goes "ugh, we need to get a new dog cause Manny barks too much!" Thought it was cute, but told her no, we love Manny very much.

I'm so sorry Naylon (and you too, Razzle!). That's such a hard, hard thing to go through. I still remember getting the news about my childhood doggie like it was yesterday, but its been 5 and half years.

I hope you can find comfort during this.

I'm sorry to hear that. T&P to you and your family.

Hugs to you, Megan and Jess. It is so hard to lose a pet, they are a huge part of a family. My parents had to put our pup down in January, and it was so sad.

I hate to even think about anything happening to Tucker, it will literally break my heart. We just love him so very much!

I'm so sorry, Megan. Losing a pet is a really hard thing to deal with. Hugs to you and your family.

I'm so sorry, Megan. Losing a pet is really sad.

Ugh, that is so terrible.

I know what you mean about feeling the dog was also yours. My parents have an aging beagle that was adopted my freshman year of college and I also feel she is "mine." I hope your mom and siblings can find comfort for his loss. T&P.

I'm so sorry about your loss Naylon and you too Razzle. I tear up just thinking about the day when we lose our cat.

I'm so sorry Sad

heatherkj · December 2011

Sorry, Megan. They are members of the family--so very sad.

EmmaBrooke · December 2011

I'm so sorry. The worst thing about pets is that they don't live forever. It's easy to say that at least he's not hurting anymore, which is at least some small comfort, but it's always heartbreaking to lose a furry family member. Hugs to all of you.

I am so so sorry. That day was so hard for me too, so I understand. Thinking of you.

I am so sorry Megan. Losing a pet is an extremely hard thing. When we had to make a family decision 4 years ago to put down our family dog Turbo (he was a black lab/rotweiler mix) it was extremely hard and emotional. We had bought the dog for my dad for his 34th birthday (so I was 7) and he took it the hardest. He still keeps Turbo's collar on his dresser. He also got a tattoo of his face on his arm, he was the best dog.
