Yeah pets can feel like family members, had to have my cat put down recently was really hard, think of all the good times. This video encapsulates the whole spectrum of emotions that owning a dog throws up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGQVX8iGbgk

I lost Brandy, my golden retriever, after 14 years, 3 years ago.

He used to lie in the hallway, behind the front door, waiting for me to return from work (I live on my own). A couple of times, I caught his paw under the door when I opened it, and he squealed. So, I got into the habit of opening the door just a few inches and looking in to see how he was lying, before pushing it open.

I was still doing that a month after he died.

Yeah it is really sad but the filmmaker obviously cared about dogs very much. Your loss will hurt less with time.

Hearts, why do you have to spoil it. This is about a beloved dog/dogs, what the hell's it got to do with children?

when poor ol scooby was eventually put down, I was nominated family member to go up the vets and pay the bill and pick up his tags and collar

i'd been about 16 but i remember the other guys in the waiting room with their dogs; as i paid the bill & sadly left playing with with scoob's collar, half of them started to cry

Not far off.. not a prossie, but a bird took on a free holiday purely for riding.. missed the WC qtr finals the next day in Singapore by being in a copshop reporting the theft with her there also, and half accusing her and coming back to room and finding it under the bed.

felt a bit silly

Me too RR, my dog died November 2008, we got a ** in December in the same year but she doesn't have the same spark as him. I have came around to her and show her the same love I showed for my old mate but I keep comparing her to him. I know where your coming from.

".......Your loss will hurt less with time. "

From my experience I would say that is true, but time only numbs the pain, still hurts.

Me and my wife split recently and i used to walk my dog everymorning. Wife has dog now bet it does not get as much excercise. Thinking of buying a pup for myself but feel like im betraying my dog at home.
Report mitchell downie • January 15, 2010 11:01 PM GMT
Of course you aren't, get the pup, you sound like a great dog owner.

Shame about your other dog, I hate people who can't find the time to exercise their dogs.
