cant sleep, my dog passed today , pretty upset

OP
Quoted from Beaumistim:
well my dog of 13+ years died suddenly this morning. was hopping through the front room , right before i was about to leave and all of the sudden all four of his legs just kinda fell out from under him. then he couldnt get up. so i change my plans, take him directly to the vet, and we went to him walking a little, to barely breathing, then in about a minute or two completely gone. my kids were upset, my wife was upset, and i thought i was handling it well, but once i laid down to sleep, i cant sleep and got pretty emotional to myself. RIP to my main man Casper, your greatly missed![quoted image]

Is the family starting to feel any better?

I am sorry for your loss. You will always have the good memories of times with Casper. Keep those as you move on and hopefully the pain lessens.

It's a very hard thing to get over. But it does get better with time. You and your family will always remember Casper and the joy he brought in to your lives.
I lost my best friend, Reuben, last April. He was 13 1/2. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to deal with.
Hang in there

well, my youngest pup is showing some real signs of depression. i never knew you were supposed to let them see and smell your dead pets. we had casper cremated and never brought him home. Ace the younger pup spends hours walking around the house, outside, all over looking for casper. its truly heartbreaking. now im like we need to get him another companion, but i also think its to damn soon.

Sorry bud, going through it now. Had to bury my girl yesterday and found this pic today from better days. Dogs & Cats are family. Hang in there[quoted image]

What a beautiful Calico kittie. My wife and I just lost our Calico cat after treating her for kidney failure for the past 2 years. We miss her a ton.

To the OP: sorry for your loss, a loss of a pet is very hard to go through. They are family.

She was the best. Not that I’m rating all my pets either but probably next to my first dog, hardest to let go. I still have dreams she is running around the house

Hopefully that is a silver lining of this whole "stay at home" situation. You can spend more time with family and fur friends.

My dogs have been LOVING having me at home all the time.

sorry man, we lost half our pets in the tornado around the same time. Our new living arrangements can't have pets so we had to find homes for the others. As sad as it is I have had bigger things to worry about so it has helped ease the pain some.

So sorry to hear of your dog passing. It sounds like he at least passed quickly and with no pain. That's the most we can hope for - a painless passing in the company of those we love.

Found out today our dog likely has cancer - he is going into surgery on Tuesday.

Anyone ever cried and played pinball at the same time?

Not yet, but I'm sure my time will come. Hang in there friend. It's not easy but time will help take the sting away.

We lost our Welsh Pembroke Corgi “Ronan” to hip disease and lung cancer when he turned 13 about 4 years ago. I made a memorial album and it made me feel a lot better:

I also started a Facebook group, “Wheelchair Dogs” a few months before he died, and it’s grown exponentially since then. I’d like to have another Corgi when I retire, or maybe sooner since I’m stuck at home now anyway. Dogs really are the glue that hold families together.
