eleanorrigby1 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Your message just made me cry. I'm really sorry to hear this and I can almost feel your pain through your post. I hope things improve for you, but we are all here if you need us. Link to comment
samross Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Dear shadow34: My heart go out to you. In this world of emails and cyberspace, it's comforting for all of us who are in pain to know that there people in this world who are sensitive to our struggle and are there. You're in Australia, your first response on this post comes from Scotland, and now from me here in America. The people on this site have been a blessing to me. I don't know the details of your struggle but I know how life sucks sometimes. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I love animals and it is hard to let go. Some of us seem to get the short end of the stick moreso than others and sometimes it seems to come in heaps. Know that you're not alone, and your pain won't last even though it feels like it will. I will keep your email address 'cause my heart is still walking through the valley even though things seem to be a little better in my life. Link to comment
blueangel Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Get yourself out of it. It's not the end of the world. It's the end of many things, yes, but never the end of the world when one relationship comes to a faded end. Edit: I read your post wrong, sorry. I thought you said you left a dog, as in a bad man. That explains my insensitivity because I believed that you should be glad to leave. lol I'm sorry! I do idiotic things like that sometimes. If that's your dog in your avatar, he/she is adorable and you're right, this is not an easy loss. I had to put down a dog of mine too last year and I was in the room while it happened. I cried for days. There's no easy way to get over the loss of a loved one, especially man's best friend. ^^ Good luck to you. I'm sure the spirit of your pet will never really leave. And I'm sure you made him/her feel very loved. Perhaps your dog will leave, complete... complete as much as a dog can be. Again, I'm sorry if I unnerved you above with my silly misunderstanding.

arwen Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hey Shadow, I am so sorry about your dog. I wish I could do something to help you. Take the time to say goodbye to your dog, I hope that the vet's clinic will have people to comfort you and help you deal with the process. It's a very special kind of love, between you and your pet. It's not comparable to love for another human, because it's unconditional (esp. with dogs I think, they are so loyal and sensitive to one's emotional state). I can understand you feel like everything is being taken away from you. Please know that that is not in fact the case. You will re-find love and happiness in time. We are all here for you, ok? Hugs, arwen Link to comment
Pisces_Princess Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi Shadow, That's so terrible. We get such love and joy from our pets and they ask so little in return. xxx Link to comment
rose2summer Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hey shadow- I am sorry to hear you are going through pain dealing with your dog and past relationship. I wish I had some great words to take away your pain, However, I can tell you that the body does heal, even though it seems impossible right now. And each and every day will improve and get better, Even though you feel the loss of your pet as you must put her to sleep, She will always hold a special place in your heart, And with regards to your ex, consider it a blessing, Break ups happen for a reason, I wish I knew why, But it seems they keep us away from someone that wasn't meant for us. We are always here for you so hang in there and know that we truly care. Hugs, Rose Link to comment
CarnelianButterfly Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Sorry to hear about you pooch. I love all my pets like best friends, so I know how painful it can be to put one to sleep. I still cry about my lost furballs because they all have a place in my heart. Link to comment
papalazarou Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I am truly sorry to hear this... Its bad enough dealing with one "crisis" let alone two. My thoughts are with you xx Link to comment
renaissancewoman101 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I am sorry to hear about your dog. I do understand how you are feeling right now and I wish the best for you. The month or two after my ex broke up with me, I had to deal with putting down one of my beloved guinea pigs (she never really recovered from her surgery and was slowly dying), deal with my breakup, and deal with my best friend moving away. To have all that stuff happen to you, is very tough and can knock down the strongest person. I hope you weather through this ok and realize that your pooch loves you and what you are doing for him/her is also a loving gesture since you dont want them to suffer anymore. Peace. We're here for you. Link to comment
HDD Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i am so sorry to hear about your dog!!!!! I can understand what you are going through.

shadow34 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi everyone Thankyou to all of those beautiful people who left me messages of support, I am truly grateful. Im off to the vet now, which is very very difficult. Your thoughts of strength are with me. Blueangel, Im sorry but I have to say this, you have expert under your name????? I find your answer incredibly insensitive. I mentioned nothing about the end of the world and I was talking about my dog not a relationship. Just because this is my dog, it is no less painful than anything else. This forum is about support and grief my friend is not something you "snap out of". Thank you to everyone else, I appreciate you...I will let you know how Im doing with time.... ' hugs to everyone Link to comment

Hope75 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Shadow, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. She is a beautiful dog and I am sure she was a good friend to you. I had a Rottweiler for 8 years and he was the love of my life... I can only imagine how you feel now. Sending ((BIG HUGS)) your way. Link to comment
Wandering_Sword Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Sorry about your friend, these things can be very hard and my heart goes out to you. *Hugs and a kiss on the forehead* We're all here for you. Link to comment
shadow34 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi All Thankyou for all your kind words of support, I dont know what to say as you can imagine right now I am just choking sitting here, the tears are endless. Blueangel, I accept your apology, as you can imagine I was about to leave for the vets so I was a mess and took it really personally. It reassuring to know that I can come here and you are all here for me, I love you all. Shiva, you are here to support me , in my heart, thankyou so much for that. Out of everything tragic comes something good, and in time I will get to that point. But for now, looking at the faces of my two boys when I didnt come home with her...... She was there for me when my marriage broke up she was there for me when my relationship with my ex broke up She was always there for me and now I got to help her, I love her so so much. I need to go now, not coping so well but know time heals all. Thankyou everyone for being there when I have needed you the most. xox Link to comment
doyathink Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my 17 yo last year, accidental none the less, she drown. I had her cremated so I could keep her ashes. I wish you the best. The Rainbow Bridge There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. Link to comment
