I Am Dealing With Pet Loss

August 20th 2012 will be forever marked as the worst day in my life. If I am too live to a 100 or to 27, August 20th will remain the marked, marred, dark day. On August 20th 2012 after a valiant struggle we sadly had to put down my...

I'm writing now beyond devastation, my emotions are a wreck. My pug developed a tumor on his lip that was just diagnosed as malignant carcinoma today - terminal - it might have spread but vet doesn't know. I never saw it coming for...

Yesterday, my wonderful cat Pudsey was put to sleep suffering from kidney failure. One of the saddest days I have experienced.
I don't know how old he was but I reckon at least 17; I moved up here to the country in 1999 and he was a...

9 months later and my pug is still in my dreams and I still sometimes sleep with his blanket.  I had to have him euthanized and I feel like I didn't do it as soon as I should of.  I kept here for me and not for him.  Now...

Up until 4 months ago, my adorable, little 4-year old chihuahua was a friendly, quirky bundle of energy and my baby.  She saw me through several break ups, tough times, and finally is pictured in my arms on the...

Last night my 10 year old dog died in my arms. He was ill and did not survive a fight with my other dog. I think he died happy, he knew he was loved and cherished. I have no idea how I will be able to cope. Still, no matter how painful...

I wish that September 10th 2010 was a horrible nightmare. Instead  every horrifying detail  came true of the dream I had on september 9th. My cat went in for what we were expecting was to be a simple dental surgery and tooth...

We rescued a 6 month-old pit bull puppy from a no-kill shelter. She was my first dog I had as an adult. I would never inform her that she was a dog because she would be so confused. After all, I treated her like she was my baby. Ginsey...

About 3 years ago, we adopted a rescue dog named Tillie. Tillie was a Shih Tzu
from a puppy farm, and when we got her, she weighed about 3 pounds and was skin and bones. Clearly, she had led a hard life. After the first few weeks...

He was my heart. I loved him so much. He was like a son to me. Over 9 years he was with me, then just like that he's gone. I have no choice other than to accept it, because it is what it is, but it's not ok at all. Like that line from...
