My dog just died.

Re: My dog just died.

For me it was easier becasue I was out of the house. My mom had the dog and I was newly married. But I went with my mom to put her to sleep. I say give it a couple days and you will start doing better. If not you need to go to some grief class. Some hospital have them.

Seeing her lying there was so so tough. I kept on rousing her trying to wake her up but she wouldnt move. I kept on saying "please no, not now" and "I need you abby". I really hope she is having fun right now. I want her to watch over me.

Also, when I was touching her body it was still lukewarm (not warm but not freezing). Dont dead bodies lose all of their heat? Is there a chance that she could have been in a coma state or was she all the way gone?

I hear you Scott. If it wasn't for you guys I probably would have done something really irrational by now. Thanks for keeping me in a somewhat calm state fellas.

God bless all of you. You truly are special people to hear me out and try to console me. For the first time in my life I feel special.

Alex don't worry about how you are acting it is normal. You need to keep reminding yourself you are OK. Just try to relax and go do something fun. Maybe watch a comedy movie. I know you are sad, but you need to relax.

I mean it though. I might not be here right now. My dog meant everything to me. I really have no one else and I mean no one else. No girlfriend, no guy friends, nothing. I'm alone.

Well you have friends here. I only have one good friend. And a lot of good friends on here. You just need to tell yourself that your dog would want you to go on.

She was completely gone then? Ouuch. I really hope something good happens to me soon but I dont know what i'm going to do next. What will tomorrow hold for me and how will i react? What if tomorrow is worse then today?

Thanks, your right about that. Would she really have wanted me to go on? She just loved me so much. I hope she didnt feel betrayed by me for letting this happen. What if she would have preferred to be put to sleep?

You should go see a doctor. They can give you something.

I dont want the drugs to change my entire personality though. Also, to make matters worse the vet said that maltese dogs usually live until age 16 at the minimum. My dog was 7. I truly feel robbed, betrayed, hurt, heartbroken, any adjective you can think of.

Alex, the thing is this is apart of life. Death is a part and we can't change that. I have a grandma who is dying and I just have to deal with it, becasue there is nothing I can do about it. Just like you and your dog. You could have not done or control anything about this. You just have to go on.

I am really emotional though. Probably more than you. I have been made fun of my entire life for being emotional. I could take the beatings from my dad growing up but now..... it just hurts. The one being that truly loved me is gone. The only one who ever accepted me is no longer here. Not even my parents loved me as much as abby did.

Then you should go get another dog. That will help a lot.

Re: My dog just died.

I know this is apart of life but this one really hits home. I never even knew my grandparents but my little abby meant the world to me. She slept with me every day for 7 years. When I ate dinner she ate dinner. When i was sick she was right by my side. Nobody else has meant as much to me. Im so scared.
