My Dog...
17 years ago
General
He is going to a better place, or has gone to a better place. (Please don't read further if you don't want to know anything sad, and please please be gentle to me. This is hard enough for me)
He is an old dog, he is the funniest dog, he is the most caring dog, more energetic dog, most playful dog.... he was the one who spent the most time with me when I lived with my family for the past 14 to 15 years.
He had been sick for the past week but I only got to know about it the day before and yesterday I suddenly got a call that he might not make it as he was having fits. When I got there, he was laying there, unable to move, so unlike the past when he will rush all the way to me or the door. I pet him non-stop, I cried, I comfort him... he threw a fit again.
I called the animal association and they had someone tell me what to do on the phone, I moved him onto some big towel and cover his cold body up to make him comfortable, I sat next to him and massages his head like I always do when he sleeps next to me, he seems more comfortable than before, not breathing as hard, seemed to fall asleep but when he closed his eyes for awhile, he jerked and woke up again...
It was late and we couldn't get him to the vet so we had to wait till the morning. Now I will be going over to my family's place to wait for the animal association people to come and bring him to a better place. We will be putting him to sleep, because judging from his old ago and condition, it's a better thing to do. That is if he made it through the night, but I really hope that he had passed during the night in his sleep... Peaceful and painless.
I will never get a pet again. This is really heartbreaking to me... He will always be in my heart...
p/s: sorry fenfen, the trade will be coming a little slow. : (
pps: please ignore my grammar or whatever..
Update
Currently still at my mom's...
My dog was still around when I arrived and it hurts so much. But a few hours ago, he's been taken away to be on his way to heaven...
It was really upsetting, but the man who came did a check on him and said that my dog was ready to 'go' anytime. So it is really best to let him go.
I will always remember him. Every single memory of him is fresh and always will be fresh in my heart. From him being a little cub till the day he go.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, you guys help me a lot and my condolence to those who faced/facing the same situation... It is really heart breaking...

i'm so sorry to hear this, Spea.
<3 i'm thinking of you and your dog - he sounds like quite a character. just make him feel comfortable and safe, that's all you can do. <3 you're doing the right thing, but it is hard. i've been there.
*hugs again*
*hugs tight*
I'm sorry for your loss, and I wish you well.
i'm so sorry to hear about this, though. losing a pet can be just as hard as losing a close friend or relative (that's what they basically become anyway). <333 stay strong.
The point is, although we don't know each other, I'm really really sorry. I just feel so horrible having heard this. I guess no matter what I say it'll be weird and pointless, but I know (or have a pretty good idea, anyway) what you're going through. Death sucks. <:C *e-hugs*
Well, I doubt there was, otherwise you would've done something right?
If my dog died, I doubt I would ever get over it, but I hope you do, so your memories aren't as painful. (I kinda feel like crying, especially after seeing the picture of your dog (I'm so crying))
Saying "I'm sorry" doesn't show how bad I feel about this, I really hope you don't feel bad when you think of your dog.
Depending on how the person handles their emotion, memories work like wonders and they shouldn't be dismissed. Yes, I will get upset when I keep recalling about my dog, but this is part of grieving and I know I will not be sad anymore at a point and I'll be happy that I had him before.
If there is something to be done, it's been done. My dog died of old age.
Thanks for your words kirby. I'd suggest to just spend as much time and love on your pet as possible when it is still around, and this applies to anything really. cherish them when they are still around.
Sometimes memories are too painful to handle though, but that's relatively rare I think...
Do you know how to control your emotions properly?
It's a shame dogs don't live longer...
It's my pleasure, I'll make sure to do that. =D
When I don't think I spend enough time with my dog, I feel guilty. D=
the sad memories would only be how painful he looked and how sick he was. but that will be locked away, i can handle that well.
that's very common, i feel bad i couldn't spend more time with him for the past 3 years cos i am not staying with my mom. but he still had great company at my moms.
Well, I hope you only think of the happy times with your dog. =D
I'm not good at locking away memories. XD
Was your mom always nice to him?
I tried to spend some time with my dog today (I'll probably do it later), but my day was horrible... really, really horrible...
well, I hope you don't force yourself, cos if it becomes a burden, it might not be good for your pet anyway. I don't know you so I won't say much, but there are people who end up abusing their pets because they try too hard to spend time with them when they can't control their emotion during a bad day.
Just do it naturally.
I don't think I force myself. =D (I think...)
"but there are people who end up abusing their pets because they try too hard to spend time with them when they can't control their emotion during a bad day."
That's kinda weird... >_>
