F***

[apostle83]

Re: F***, My dog is dead

We got him as a rescue dog from a foster home. He was so happy when he was with sweety in NC. When he came to live with me so she could move up north and go to school to work on her master's degree, we became fast friends. He was just like the poodle I had growing up.

I let him down tonight. I should have never left my office without him. I should have held him around strangers.

We're talking about getting him stuffed. I dunno, it seems gross but I just don't wanna let him go. But I think I would cry every time I saw him.

I dunno, it's probably a stupid idea.

Don't "if" and "I should have" yourself crazy. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Don't start second guessing yourself because you made a mistake. It's nothing you could have foreseen. You talked about that little dog in such glowing words, and I know how you feel. I have a dog of my own, and I love her very much. Please don't fret yourself. Feel free to PM me if you want to just talk.

Edit: As for the stuffed thing, I would probably recommend against it. Things like that only serve to remind you of what is gone. There would be no heart or soul there, only a shell and it wouldn't be worth the constant reminder of pain.

Aw man, I'm so sorry to hear that.

Losing a pet is one of the worst things you have to go through in life. And I'm so sorry you had to stand there and watch it happen.

I'm sorry about your dog apostle.

 

[the Dagman]

Life can be a cruel mistress sometimes. Jeez, apostle, I can't stop thinking about this.

It may be hard right now, but try to hold onto how happy he made you feel. And know that you made Midnight's short life a happy one.

I just woke up. I bolted up actually. My puppy is really dead. It's not a dream. His box is in the kitchen, and I'll bury him this afternoon when sweetheart's flight gets in.

My in laws bought a 9 week old puppy only yesterday, I think she's a Labrador but i'm not sure, i'm not a dog expert but she's gorgeous and they've named her Nala. I think i'd cry if the poor think got run over.

Sad to hear about your dog, apostle.

 

[cultcross]

Very sorry to hear your sad news apostle, my condolences.

 

[apostle83]

This chain of events all started because a microsof disk was missing.

 

[Misfit Toy]

I'm really very sorry. Midnight looks like a sweet puppy.

 

[Gertch]

I'm so sorry for your loss apostle83. I've had dogs all my life and know how much it hurts.

 

[FalTorPan]

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, apostle83. Our family dog Boots was hit by a car in 1990. It was devastating.

Sorry about your dog, that just sucks. No good way around that one.

DON'T give in to the urge to get him stuffed. Please. He's gone, it'll be easier for all of you, and kinder to his memory, if you just let him go. The stuffing thing is kinda creepy, and what's the upside? Just a way to hold onto him, but not really have him. Years later, you realize that you misplaced him, or you've put something on top of him, etc. Bury him with dignity, please.

 

[Colonel Green]

That sucks man.

 

[Australis]

Ah, dude, those photos made me tear up, and I never met him. Taking me back to last year a bit, I suppose.

I really wish you weren't going through this, you have my deepest sympathy.

 

[TheBrew]

He's in a better place.

My favorite pet rat died last year, so I feel your pain.

Re: F***, My dog is dead

Saddest thread of 2009!

While this is very sad and apostle has my condolences, let's have a little perspective;

He just wanted to run. He loved going to the doggy park so much.

Then last week at his checkup, the vet said he had joint problems and that I shouldn't take him bike riding for a while. He didn't get to run the last week of his life, and then he died running.
