Yes, I understand that this is part of life, but I just don't know what to say to my friend without upsetting her more. Thanks!

I had some three dogs some years back. My uncle took one dog which was boxer. I still miss my dog and have no words to express regarding sorrow I have when I miss him. Pets importance sometimes become more than our family to us. I am not able to forget my boxer still. I think you can just tell your friend that her dog will now be taken care by god himself. ( If your friend is a young one.) Other thing which you can do is get her another dog so that she can forget her dog for sometime and can conc. on this new one. ( I don't think that even this will work. ) But anyway try these .

Yes, I agree that pets can be like family to some people. I feel the same about my pets. I don't think I would buy her another dog, just incase it was too soon, but thanks for the suggestion. Thanks!

Thanks for that, I think I will try this. I just worry that she will think I don't care if I don't talk about it with her. I just don't really know what to say and I am scared of upsetting her more. Thanks!

Sometimes the best thing to do is listen. Quite often people are happy if your there just to listen. I know that sometimes they may want you to respond, I find it's best to respond just a little bit, that way you will hopefully not say anything wrong.

Yes, I am happy to be there to listen. That's what friends are for. I do worry though that if I don't say enough, will she take that as rude? I guess I will have to play it by ear and hopefully I manage to say the right things. Thanks!
