Missing my dog

Buy a new one?

Already have.. Old English Sheepdog bundle of joy.. but takes longer than a few months to bond with one...

thats ruff mate

Poppy RIP

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

Christ on a bike Ernests!!!!! that is the saddest thing I have ever seen.. not what I need

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.

Sad Sad Sad Wur :(

I don't want to be obnoxious but my mate lost his son though a cot death,there is no comparison whatsoever imo.

obviously

One's a animal the other.........................

obviously hearts but not what this thread is about

anyone remember that scene in the the rolf harris programme where the trucker had to have his put to sleep? very moving

crescit the point I am making is let's get thing's into perspective,a loss of a animal compared to a child ?

ok but this isn't what the subject is about

i've seen men crying at football matches, but let's get it into perspective

Ive cried over a floppy when I didnt want it and having lost my wallet at the same time.. but really that wasnt important..

any my wallet was actually under the bed which I found the next day

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?

I think people have the choice to chose over what upsets them.

I tried to lighthen the tone.. but didnt work for me.. still very sad about Poppy in the first post..and link...

are we not allowed to cry at animals dying because a human died?

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

I see you also have a cat RR :)

em.. no.. where?

the walk of sadness........leaving the vets with just a collar

sounds like a bad double whammy with a prostitute

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.

Thanks for bringing that subject back again ovalman.. Did you readStevie P's story on the drifting apart thread?? horrible

come on ovalman, it's not the poor dog's fault!

No punter, but ts hard not to feel a bit bitter, even u know its not the new ones fault

just as long as one knows when buying a new puppy, give it plenty of love and not to compare it to any animal else

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

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

The New Old English is everything I could want in a pup and after time Im sure I will lover her the same Punter.. do you wan to see youtube of her ( starting to be a bore I know)

aye go on

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.

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.
