is this over acting?

NEVER, I have moments that The dog I had several years back is always in my mind, along with my big boy and lil girl that went not that long ago.. You spend alot of time with your dog pet...

i don't think your over reacting,i think thats okay. you're only grieving on something that you lost and its something that's close to your heart. i lost my dog about a year and half but when i remember him i still feel sad and wishes that he was still with me. though now i have 2 female dogs, still i want him because he's different. he's so sweet, obedient and cute... i still miss him so much.

I don't feel that you are over-reacting. I think that you just really loved your dog. You will have those memories, and dreams are normal. You are going through the loss of a loved one, and grief is a process that you have to work through on your own. If I were to lose my puppy, whom I have only had for 8 months, I would probably feel the same way you do. I am very close to her and I have a great bond with her. She is my pet and my friend. So, in my opinion, you are not over-reacting at all, you are only going through a natural grieving process.

No your not over-reacting. Pets become a part of our family. When a pet passes away it's like losing a family member. I lost a dog I had for about 10 years in 99 I still think about that dog every now & then. Don't worry about what other people think take the time to grieve over your loss.

You didn't just lose your dog. You lost a family member, your best friend. You will go through the same grief process that you would if he were human. There is no timeline for grief. The pain will lessen, but no one will know when, but you.
