after my dog died last night, our home feels so empty without her. her food bowl, her toys, her water cup, her pillow, are still on they're places. we haven't change it a bit. I'm still crying till now. I always remember how she walked around the house, how we played together, how she slept, where she slept, everything.. I just miss her so much :"(

Losing a pet that you have considered part of your family is really hard. I have experienced that in the past, too. Just think that wherever your dog is now, she's in a better place and she'll be your guardian :)

Yes, I hope she's happy whenever she is now. I also hope that she's happy enough when she's alive, and do not feel disappointed with the time we have spent together these last 8 months :)

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet! However, I'd like to thank you for being such an animal lover! You've made a difference in their world. Now at the present discussion, you're going to feel a loss for a little while which is like a void in your life. That's normal. Completely normal. Allow yourself to grieve because you need to get those feelings out. When you're ready, go find yourself another pet to love. There's so many of them out there in desparate need of homes. Trust me, you'll be glad you did!

I've cried a lot yesterday and I feel better now. Of course I will have another dog to keep, but not this soon. Maybe later after I have my own house. At this time I live with my parents and some relatives as my neighbor, and not all of them love dogs. So, I'll wait a little bit longer to have one ^^

Aw I'm sorry you lost your dog. I know the feeling when they are gone and then you look forward to coming home or turning around and there they are wagging their tail at you and wanting to play. But when you turn around they are not there any more. Its like a part of your family is missing now that they are gone. Once again I am so sorry for your loss. @aritahime (221)

Yes! Yes! That's exactly how I feel this week. It's been a week since she's gone, but I still feel the emptiness around the house, wishing in any way, there would be a miracle that she will come alive again. I know it sounds silly, but I really wish it could happen :'(

Hello,
Since birth,I really love dogs and puppies to be specific . I love it because its so sweet and loveable.It can take away my anxiety in just a snap of a finger. I feel bad for what had happened to your dog my friend.I think you should buy another one for you to have again and for you to ease that sadness.

hi ^^
Yeah, I planned to get another dog in the future, but I think not this soon.
After I felt how hard it is to lose my dog when I was a kid, I always thought twice before deciding to keep one. I really love dogs, that's why I feel very very sad when I lost them. I just don't want to feel that pain. I don't think that she will leave me this soon :"(

True! Whenever I felt bad mood, I always played with her, and everything felt much better. I was always smiling and laughing watch her every move. It's really true that dogs can bring happiness in our lives, right? But, at the time they're gone, the pain will stay very long in our heart :(

I really feel sorry.... :( I love dogs too, I could feel how much pain you have right now. Losing them is like also losing a very special friend who became part of our daily life. Don't worry my friend at least you have given your dog all the care you can while she is alive. I could tell that she is one happy dog with you when she's still alive.

Very agree with you! It's very hard for me to live the day on the next day after she's gone. Whatever I did, I always remembered her and started crying. But I feel better now.. Yes, I hope she's happy when she's alive, and now I hope she will rest in peace :")

Yes, it is very difficult to move on when a good pet has passed away. When I was a kid, I remember my neighbor had a labrador retriever who always licked my face every time I visited her. She was a really nice dog and my neighbor let me play with her almost every day. One day, I went to my neighbor's house and saw my neighbor crying over something. I remember he had trouble telling me the bad news. Apparently, my neighbor's dog accidentally ate some sharp, foreign object, which punctured parts of the stomach. As a memento, my neighbor gave me a picture of me and his dog, which he took some time earlier. I remember looking at the picture placed in the picture frame on top of my desk for at least a couple of weeks. Afterwards, my parents put it way for safe keeping because I remember having nights where I had trouble sleeping; they thought it would help me move on if they put it in one of our photo albums.
