Yesterday, my little bassett girl passed away due to liver failure. I miss her so badly. It seems like all the color has gone out of life. I am devastated. So sorry to hear. It can be hard. Try to think of something that brings you joy and do that – or reach out to any friends/family around. Don’t be afraid to say, “I am hurting from my dog passing away.” Oh.It’s been 4 years since my dearest dog died. It hurt like he**. Your words, “The color has gone out of my life” describe it perfectly. My heart is heavy for you today and in the weeks ahead. Thank you for sharing your love and pain with us. Its an honor.
Our golden retriever passed last year. We had an artist in our ward paint her portrait. We don’t have oil portrait of our children & Grandchildren but we do of our dog. I know how you feel. I’m sorry for your loss.
turinturambar, I can only say sorry. We love our dog so much and have talked about how hard that eventual day will be. Pets are just the greatest. I hope you can get the comfort you need.

[attachment=0]Mindy Little.jpg[/attachment] Mindy was the sweetest dog you could ever meet. She felt things very deeply. I had come from 5 years of the pain of being completely alone, to having her always with me. She (like most pets) loved deeply and unconditionally. And joyful! She was joyful. Among my favorite moments are the times I have returned home from work or errands; she would see me from afar, perk up, cry, and galumph across the yard to get to me, licking my nose. She was so affectionate. She loved hugs, and would ask for them many times a day. But she was also playful! She would buck and woof, nip your nose, get down on her front legs with her butt in the air, and bolt around the house, waiting for you to “get” her again. She always knew it was 4 pm–her dinnertime. She would whine, and woof, and jump on you to get up and feed her.
My little moo-moo girl. She promised she’d wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.
Sorry to hear that Turin — I wasn’t raised with pets, but my wife was. I learned how they have personalities, how they can be of comfort, etcetera. How long do you think a person needs to grieve before they get another one? Or is that even an option for someone who was really attached to a particular dog or pet?
My heart aches for you, my friend. Love you.
I am so sorry for your loss. “It is not good for man to be alone.” Pets are one of the ways that we soothe the pain of our aloneness.
I lost my dog in an accident 15 years ago or so. It was so traumatic I’ve never gotten another one. Felt like I lost my best friend. I still miss her even after all these years. Pets sure get into our hearts! My condolences.
