How to cope with Pet Loss?
I'm right there with you, the grief is like a roller coaster. I'm trying to find peace and positive lessons but sometimes those just arn't enough to justify the loss. My puppy Dandy Lion was just 6 months old! She never came home from the vets after being spayed. I feel like people are digging at me with "just a dog she hardly had 4 months" but she was everything and more to me, I miss her so. I find just talking to anyone that will listen helps, I tell my small boys that every time we find a penny thats Dandy saying "Hello" it really makes us smile when we find a penny. I'm sending you warm hugs of empathy and comfort, she'll be with you for ever!
How to cope with pet loss?
I'm so sorry for your loss. And dude, it is totally OK to cry. Actually, it is good to just let out all of your emotions. Holding up your feelings is not good. I have never lost a bunny, but i have lost a dog, so i kind of know what you are going through. I was there when they put him down, his head in my lap as he crossed over.....sooooo hard. Even worse, that dog that died, Chewy, his best friend, Moxie, was left behind. I remember coming home from the vet without him, and she looked at u like, "where is Chewy?" HEARTBREAKING. I'm a girl, so i bawled my eyes out the whole time, but just cuz you are a guy doesn't mean you aren't manly or anything. Just remember all the great times you had together, maybe make a tribute video, a collage of pictures, maybe? I made a tribute video for my dog. You don't have to get another pet, but if you do, don't think you are replacing him. This would be a whole new animal. You may want to get another pet, because you said it was so lonely in the house, but if you don't want to, that's totally understandable. I waited a while before getting another dog. One last thing: never EVER blame/doubt yourself! Never say stuff like "i could have done better." Don't ever do that, it will make you feel a million times worse. And your bun wouldn't want you to think like that. Again, so sorry for your loss, i hope i helped :(
How do I help my dog cope after being attacked ?
Of course I took him to the vet...he was attacked. He had 4 deep puncture wounds and we thought broken ribs. My dog did not provoke the dog at all. We were visiting my dad and we were just about to leave to go visit my mom in the hospital and were asking the downstairs neighbour if they could let my dog and my dads two dogs out for a pee while we were gone. The neighbours pitbull was inside, my dads dogs and my dog were outside playing and the pitbull pushed past its owner and went right for my dog. If it wasn't for the fact my dad and I saw what was going to happen and both tackled the dog, he would have gotten my dogs neck and killed it. The tackle pushed the dog down and it bit his back instead. My dad started choking the dog and I was kicking it in the stomach to try and get it off my dog. He was flinging my puppy around and finally let go and my dog landed 5 feet away and I quickly ran and picked him up and ran inside. He was sedated and had to go for surgery at the vets and n
How to cope with my dogs death [PLEASE ANSWER]?
I am sorry for your loss. You are very young and have your whole life ahead of you now. I know you do not think so but you do. I am not going to lie; it is going to hurt like hell for a while. But this is part of life, it is how you deal with it and move on that counts. It will shape you and help mold you into the person you are about to become. I will not tell you to remember the good times, at least not yet. Because that will only make it hurt worse. But in years to come you will think of this companion and remember everything the two of you did together, the good, the bad, and the ugly! But, you know that, because you hold it close and dear to your heart right now. So cry your eyes out, cry so hard you cry yourself to sleep, you will feel better in the morning. And then, when you wake up, cry some more! Cry until every tear has been cried out of your head. Then, all of a sudden, everything around you will be quiet and still, the next thing you know you have to be at school, or your mother is expecting you, or you have a responsibility, or commitment you made to a person that you now must fulfill, then poof, next thing you know you are living your life again, but this time it is with one less familiar face, smile or laugh. But this time you are a little stronger and a little wiser. But this time….you are doing it! But this time when you think about your loss, it is not going to hurt so bad! Again, I am sorry for your loss.
