:-( were here for you

Ah jeez, that really sucks. Well, if he/she was sick at least they are out of their misery.

Yeah, he or she is chasing cars and stealing sausages all day long now.

oh my god....im so sorry....when i was 5 my parents had a dog they had to put to sleep, but i wasn't really all that close to him, so i didn't go to the vet when they did it. that night i couldn't stop crying. we understand, renee. pets are wonderful creatures, and it's a terrible loss. i'm not going to say "it'll all be ok", but time will make things better, as hard as it is to hear that. my best wishes, i'm so sorry...

thank you. its all i can really say..

that fucking sucks : (

It's better than having it suffer, right? Doggy heaven = doggy bliss.

That's the only bad part about owning a pet. It was fun while it lasted though, wasn't it?

Aw, you are top of the list on my street team points thing. I know its not much but maybe a free t-shirt will help heal the pain.

that's tough...when I look at my pets I think I could avoid all the heartache of losing them by not having them at all....but then I think of all the good things they bring to my life and everything I'd miss out on. Focus on that...and that you provided them with a good life.

Yeah its gonna suck noodles whenever I lose Kisses.

i'm really sorry:(

I put to sleep my 11 years boxer like 4 years ago... I cried more than when my grandmother died. Last year my girlfriend (ex-girlfriend now) gave me another boxer, she's one a half years old now... Anyway, I know that sucks and hope you get better soon, have a hug...

:(

)c,:

everyone,
thank you a lot for all your words.
honestly..people can be so kind.
i needed this.
so thank you all once again.
with love, renee

I'm sorry. Whenever I feel bad I watch a Jackie Chan movie and eat cereal. That may not work for you, but you should do something to help you feel better.

^ Sounds like a good idea, but when are Jackie Chan movies on TV? Don't tell me you bought one.

there were a couple on last week....I don't know how you could remain sad when Jackie Chan is driving a ginormous dump truck right through a crack lord's house......you should go rent "nice guy" or something.....it should help to cheer you up........I know how you feel and I'm really sorry

BuriedAlive,
i would like to thank you individually
cause thats a very nice thing to do
so thank you.

Aw. I really have a deathly fear of dogs, but I still understand losing a pet.

im here for you. i know how it feels to be close to a pet :-(

The whole Threadless blog crew is here for you, of course. We just love everyone. Especially Ross.

If you need to borrow a Jackie Chan movie I have about 30. They're all good.

My dog got hit by car last year this past August, and we had to drive her to an animal hospital to be put to sleep. I cried more than my grandpa dying and my boyfriend breaking up with me combined. I get really attached to pets. :/ I'm here for you, just know that. I know how it feels~

it's ok, it'll get better as time goes on.
last year, a car hit my dog.
they didn't even let us see his body.

you're not alone,
don't worry :)

i'm sorry for anyone who ever went through this before.
i know time is the only way to have it heal , but today seemed like the longest day of my life. 6:15 am - now (11:20pm) i've been unable to control when i cry.

im gonna have to go through that when the time comes... my doggy is 12 but *knock on wood* in good health... most people think shes like 8 or 9... which is great!

i cant imagine what your going through right now... it must be hard :'(

i had to put down my beautiful little border collie in march, so i know how much that sucks hey. so sorry to hear it. try think about how much they meant and how happy they were when they were alive. i truly believe that they go to heaven. God knows what makes us happy, and if heaven is all that the hype makes it out to be, your doggy will be waiting for you up there...

I know how you feel, my dog got run over by a tractor about 6 years ago and we had to end his misery..i was depressed for weeks. I was so attatched to it i never even consider getting another dog, and still haven't.

edit-considered.

had to put my cat to sleep at the beginning of the year.
-had feline asthma and after years of getting steroid injections, they stopped working.
so it came down to deciding at the vet to wait and see if Vince would come out of his attack- his worst one yet- or let him slip away.
his fate was basically in my hands, but i couldn't see him suffering anymore.
it was not easy and i regretted the choice for awhile. the hardest thing was letting us be there when the first set of drugs kicked in. he was so out of it, i doubt he even felt us pet him.

oh great, thanks, now my eyes are watering.

herers my sad-sack-story:

my dog past away on my 24th birthday...
[golden retriever.....barney]
i watched him die.....
i was in the backyard with him...petting him, he didnt seem very active........he walked over to his favorite napping spot in the yard....a spot where we let the grass grow tall.......and then he...just...collapsed......i was scared to see what was wrong....but he wasnt breathing, and there wasnt a heartbeat........i sat there petting him for quite a while, [i dont really know how long]

well...the next day we buried him in his favorite spot in the yard, where we let the grass grow tall........

barney meant alot to me...because, well...he was a great companion during a very trying time in my life....you see i had cancer [non-hodgkins lymphoma] in high-school....for about a year i spent alot of time in the hospital, and when i wasnt in the hospital i was mostly confined to my home...
barney was always very happy to see me and he seemed sympathetic to the situation.....somehow he understood....
when i got better i would wrestle with him....we would roll around the backyard tackeling eachother.....he was a great friend.........

i will never forget him, and the emotional support he provided me in a very hard time.....
every year on my birthday since, i have shed a tear for my dog... barney...

well the good news is i'm starting to feel a little better
the other news is whenever i open my mouth to talk i feel like i'm going to break down and cry again.
so this week is going to be quite the anti-social one.

well i feel for you im kinda waiting to my dog "PIL" to die...
he is epileptic and hi takes a lot of pils and hsi doctor tells me that there is nating hi can do to make him feel better, so...
hang on!
or as my friend says ...
its just a dog!!!

ha..no not just a dog

i had to put my dog to sleep a few months ago. he was a golden retreiver named sienna who was my best friend since i was 8 years old. i still cry about it almost every day.

i'd love to say you'll feel better soon, but you're going to hurt for a really long time. everything will make you think of it. you need to surround yourself with friends and family and don't be afraid to cry or embarrassed or anything, it's the only way to heal.

i read all those self help books about losing a loved one, cause it really is as bad as losing a family member.

if you ever want to just talk about memories or anything, you can IM me, it might feel better talking to a stranger, especially one who just went through the same thing.

yeah my mom said that she's never seen me cry so hard.
she said i cried as much and as hard as when her brother died.

Ahhh, that's really sad...like an innocent family member. poor thing.
