It is so hard to get over the loss of a pet. We had a cat for 19 yrs and he died 13 days after me dog died. When you have a pet that long, you get so attached to them. I am so sorry for your loss. just try to remember the good times and remember that they were happy. If they lived 15 yrs and died of old age and not of cancer or a different, uncureable disease, you were doing something right to make them live that long. Good luck and I'm sorry for your loss.
thanks so much. she didn't die of an uncureable disease.the hardest part was that she didn't die on her own we had to have her put to sleep and it was the hardest thing i ever had to do. but it was because of old age and her kidneys were failing and she lost the use of her back legs.
jersey50...I too in the past have had to put one of my dogs to sleep because of his back legs becoming paralyzed and just plain "old age" problems, he was 18 yrs old and had gone blind too.
Just last year I had to have my Beardsley kitty put to sleep because of Kidney failure...it was the hardest thing to have to do, but he was suffering so much...I just held him and told him I was so sorry and how much I loved him...and I just cried and am crying now as I write this.
All I can say is this...You just do your best to take the best care of your pets and enjoy the love and affection they give you and just LOVE THEM BACK as much as you can. And pray God has them all there waiting for you when you get to Heaven.
The loss of my pet was my cow. Her name was Brittany named after me.She had twins and got very sick.The twins died a few days after Brittany died.then my dad sold the cows in 2000.
