Snoopy, maybe 12 years old. Thursday, 16-April-15, he had a severe stroke, he went quick. He's not the first Dog I lost, but boy, this one just hurt. My Mom died near the end of March, I just feel so tore up, seems like I cried more about the doggie than my Mom, and, God knows how much I Loved Her. I'm 55, so had my Mom a long time. Anybody else have this feeling-reaction? |

About 3 weeks before my mom passed away of cancer her cat, who also had cancer passed away in her arms.
My mom who never cried about her situation lived in my home for her last years. I heard my mom sobbing, anguished uncontrollable crying, as I peered down the stairs seeing if she was alright and wondering what the ruckus was It flat out broke my heart, she was crying for herself as much as her beloved companion. I still tear up thinking about it - it shook me. Your crying for your mom as much as for your beloved friend. |

Anybody else have this feeling-reaction? I'm so sorry for your loss  We had a cat die early Monday morning. He'd been going downhill for awhile. I'm like you it's really hitting me hard. Monday was rough. Today at work I found myself tearing up. I've had other pets die before, but this one has been very hard for me. I think part of it is he'd been with me and my wife since we got married 13 years ago, and he's the first pet I've had from the time he was really little until he died. We got him when he was about 6 weeks old as a little barn kitten. He was just an awesome cat, and he literally wouldn't hurt a fly. He's just always been there it seems like, and now he's gone. I know how you feel OP.

Thanks, just feel 'weird' that I seemed to grieve more about my dog.
I am home mostly 24\7, I don't get out much, I dunno, hard to explain, just used to having Snoop follow me 24\7, always checking on me. Now, that routine I still follow, 'Come on Snoop, Outside', etc. guess I will get used to it. |

My first dog was a beagle named snoopy, he passed away at 12 also, but from cancer. |

Also lost my Step-Son last year, I guess the wall I put up fell down, and, I needed that. Thanks, Seriously. Just Finally letting it out. |

My dog died after I got home from Afghanistan. She was very ill and hung on a lot longer then she should have. When I walked through that door she was so happy after not seeing me for a year. A week after I left she passed away. My mom said she couldn't die without seeing her boy one last time. So yes op. My dad one told me the only bad part about dogs is that they die.

You may not think it but you are lucky, I'm taking my lab in to the vet friday been hoping for weeks she just wouldn't wake up one morning . But she keeps on plugging along in pain , incontinent and unable to stand all the time Sunday night we'd decided if our cat makes it through the night I would take him to the vet and end it for him. The fact he died on his own at home and we didn't have to make the decision for him is a source of comfort for us, as weird as that may sound. I don't envy you having to make that decision. |

I'm still dealing with it, particularly since the roles where reversed toward the end. I'm thinking about taking some time off next month and dealing with 3 storage units packed to the gills from when she downsized to my home - I have wasted enough money on storage units rents - basically a car payment monthly just because I don't want to deal with it. It sounds like you have suffered losses this last year - I am sure your dog was the straw that broke the camels back. I have a feeling we will both be ok, thanks for your nice reply. |
