Need help dealing with dogs death.

Asked By: ladybug520 16-17 1 year ago

He got hit by a car monday, I was there and I heard him get run over, he cried and he ran to me. I picked him up as he started biting me from the shock and trama he experienced. He started to breath heavy and you can hear the blood enter his lungs and the blood started to come out his mouth. At the vet she told us that if they keep going further that the bill will come out to $3000 and it still might not work. So we had to put him to sleep. He was my first dog ever and he was only 3. Its hard to deal with and my mom just told me to stop crying and all this. But I was really attached to him and I still can't get over the fact that he died, it feels like a dream and I'm just waiting to wake up from it.

Is This A Good Question? (7)

that's as bad as it gets...grief is normal and you HAVE to cry and feel loss to get through it...with respect for the loss, compassion for how much you loved him....grieve and cry an be sad because it IS sad....you , I, everyone is going to end up dead...and over there where he is..at peace...rested...in the unified field of unconditional love! while we get to travel on not knowing if there is anything left to live for.....He is running in the fields of unconditional love and peace...He came and completed his journey here...learn form him and be happy with it...we will all come full circle!!! in death!!!

Our dog had to be put down due to cancer a few years back. We brought our dog home from the vet after she was euthanized and buried her in the back yard. We made a beautiful garden on top of her. I go out and tend to the garden every year and talk to her while I am out there. I will never forget our faithful pet.

She was a large dog, it would have cost too much to have her cremated. I like having a quiet spot to "talk" to her and reflect on what a great part of the family she was.

Oh, I'm so sorry and sad to read this. Losing a pup is like losing a member of the family, and I don't blame you for crying.

I found getting my other dog cremated helped , the plan was to scatter his ashes but I can't bring myself to do it .
Mourn as hard as you like , let no one tell you he was just a dog .
Please don't try to think of his reaction to being hit , he was in shock . Think of all the good times you two had .
Sorry for your loss .

He's getting cremated and I want to keep his ashes but I'm scared at the same time. I just don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The pain of not only losing your dog but of seeing it happen must have been horrible. It's sad that your mother is so insensitive to your grief. Do not feel bad or wrong to feel the way you do. Anyone with a heart would be devastated. Allow yourself to cry and grieve, in private if you must. Try to keep busy and do the things you have to do. Love and hugs to you. *Hugs*

Thank you. Cuz everytime I cry my mom ask why. She would say I know, I know, we all miss him, but It didn't feel like it was true. I know she didn't dislike taz but she didn't show her love to him.

I lost my first dog in a similar fashion. It was the deepest loss imaginable at the time. In fact, today I still feel a sense of loss thinking about it. All I can say is these are the things that life throws at us. Every tragedy teaches us about the fragility of our condition. Unfortunately, the tragedies pile up through the years.

To get through this one, look at how the pup impacted your life while he was alive and how he has changed in some small or great way who you are. Then you start to realize that he will always be a part of you.

I am sorry for your loss.

He impacted my life so much. My dad told me every thing happens for a reason. I think its true now because my mom was talking about getting rid of him because they thought my brother was allergic to him. I was also the one who gave him all the attention while every one ignored him. He was annoying at times but it was out of love. But his death really hit me hard since I saw it. Also when I went to say my goodbyes to him he looked me in the eyes and started crying like he knew it was over.* Thank you * I thought that how he impacted my life made me what to get attached to anything or anyone anymore, but now i know its not about that, its about how he changed me as a person

I am still mourning my cat's death. I can relate. Our furry kids mean so much. To be honest I learned intimacy from my cat. See if there is a pet grief group in your area and you can always go to Rainbow Bridge website. They understand. I wish they had a place here in my city. They have a group that meets once a month at our local pound, but it isn't enough.

I went to the website and it really helped me. I realized he's in a better place, and he's fine and it but positive thought in my mind for now.
