How to deal with dog grief?

[Anonymous]

I lost him this February and I have been a mess since then. He was literally my best friend and my protector. It caused me so much trauma because when he got put down I was in a deep depression and trauma. I can’t believe he’s gone 😭 He wasn’t just a dog he was a human dog. He loved my boyfriends and was a sweet dog. How can I deal with the trauma of this grief? I’m still struggling and my family is so heartless saying get over it. 😡 I don’t know what to do. I just miss him!

As for the passing of our four legged friends it truly saddens me when it happens or to hear about it as well. As for those little paws we love them & we love walking along side of them. As for those little noses we love when they sniff & we can only wonder how we really smell to them. As for those tails we love when they wag & when they really wag those things are dangerous. As for those little or big ears we love when they flop & when they flap really fast we hope they don’t fly away.

As for life it’s an amazing thing & the one thing about life is that it isn’t guaranteed & tomorrow for all of us isn’t guaranteed either.

As for our four legged friends unfortunately they are not in our lives long & the time they are in our lives is the time we treasure the most.

As for putting a dog down it isn’t easy & it’s a really hard & painful decision.

As for me I always tell people you should never prolong an animals life to benefit yours & when it’s time it’s time. As for our four legged friends they tell you when they are happy & they tell you when they are sad. As for our four legged friends they tell us when they are mad & they show us when they are bad by knocking over the trash can.

As for our four legged friends when it’s their time it’s their time & when it’s their time they look for us to do the right thing & I just want to let you know you did the right thing.

As for your four legged friend if he could say one thing today he would say THANK YOU & THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL & LOVING LIFE.

Your four legged friend will always love you & you will always love him.

Dogs have relatively short lifespans compared to us, he had his time, did doggy stuff, then died, that's how life goes. You gave him the best life you could and that's all that matters or can be expected of you.

Next time consider buying a puppy as he reaches his twilight years, he'll pass on his behavioural traits and his passing will be easier.

Yeah, well you're a farmer. All an animal is to you is future meat!

Bet you have a dog farm which you ship to Korea!

It is incredibly difficult. I had several dogs at one time, and they all died within an 18-month period. I still haven't fully recovered after 8 years.

I am so sorry. That is so tough losing a pet. Just time is what it takes.

It's a dog. You aren't emotionally healthy if you are still this grief stricken 6 months after a pet dies

You feel bad for years and eventually you have to get a new dog. I never did get a new dog

I still miss my childhood every day, but time heals all wounds. It will get easier over time. Sorry for your loss
