off topic : lost my buddy

sorry about posting this here but i feel you guy's would understand . i lost my garage buddy last friday , he was only 9 years old , and man it freaking hurts / bothers me bad . i'm talking about butch aka mallethead , my bulldog . i'm not one to show emotion but looking out back at his empty dog house and at the fresh dug grave causes me to lose control . never in my wildest dreams would i ever think i would become so emotionally attached to an animal , although in his case he was my youngest son and a hyper turd at that . well i kinda got it off my chest now so thanx for listening as i can't talk to the wife or kids or grand kids as they are in a worse state than i over his passing .

I feel your pain man. Its a tough thing to lose your companion. Its amazing how a shaggy mutt can worm their way into your heart and family. They sure leave a huge hole when they are gone.


Its a horrible thing that a dog doesn't live very long, but still has to die old.


Take care
Bobby

So sorry for your loss. I lost my little buddy Max 2 years ago and still miss him every day. Hang in there, what your feeling is normal and it will ease but probably never go away.

My sympathies, Kevin. Your buddy is gone but his best days live on in your memory. Hope he didn't suffer long. Stu

My heart became very heavy while reading your post. I got my first German Shepherd on my 21st birthday, I'm now 63 and on my third one. Dogs give such unconditionally love, losing them is one of the hardest things I've ever gone thru. I'm sorry for your pain.

I too am sorry to hear about your pet. I'm opposite I guess....I am an emotional person and it almost kills me to see a pet go. I've gone so far as to avoid getting another for nowbecause I just can't take the loss. Let it all out till all that's left is the memories. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry for your loss. It's tough losing one of your fur people.
We lost our Maddie back in February. She was the sweetest Cocker, blind and not too bright, but just a lover. It was a tragic accident for her, we still don't talk about it much because it still hurts.

Sorry for your loss, our fur babies are full family members and their loss is as hard as any other family member.

Sorry for your loss. As said, they are family although they bring the best to us. I had to take my girl for her last ride just a little over a year ago. A beautiful rose is growing on her grave.

I'm sorry to hear you are having to go through losing your pet. As others have said, let it out and with time it will get better. We lost my wife's cat in an accident a few months ago and I couldn't believe how much it affected me. We waited a few months to get another cat and it has helped fill the void, but we don't forget about Cortez the Killer!

So sorry! I have been where you are and in some ways I am still there. You can get some comfort knowing that while your best buddy was here he got the best of you and you got the best of him. While transferring some pet ashes from one place to another for a friend I found this saying in the urn, " until we meet again at the rainbow bridge." It really helps me to think of it that way and I hope it helps you.
