Have you had a pet die?

My Aunt had to go overseas to visit her son for around 3 months, and left her dog with me. He was called, Jackie and was very very old. Since Australia was very hot during the time, he just died of being old and exhausted I guess. Man, it was sad.

Yes, too many times. It's horrible, really. People who've never had a pet, or never felt affinity for one, will not be able to comprehend how it is. My cat died in January, and I still haven't quite dealt with it. It's like a family member passed away.

ya last week my chiwawa was mauled to death by the neighbors dog So to cope I had to punch a hole in the wall I also told her I was going to get my gun and shoot her dog in the head. I then had to bury it, not fun considering the dog never harmed anyone

Buy a new puppy. It will be cute and fluffy and you will forget about your other dog. I first read the topic as "Have you had a pet die(t)". I was like, hrmmm, is this going to be a self help thread for dogs?

oh yea, I have had many, many pets die...not through mistreatment, its just we have always had pets in my family. Fish and hamsters and cats when little, and then just cats as we got older.

as for handling it, well...I dont want to come out all morbid or anything but I have always handled death well; its just another step in life

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] Yeah, my mom found it at threw up -glad I did not see it But I remember one time my parents called me and told me to come home...NOW -so I get on my bike and ride home, thinking there is an emergency -they tell me a damn cat died (garage) I was like WTF...I rode all the home for this **** -then went back to my friend's house -It was then I realized my 'meh' attitude towards animalsrawsavon

when i was like a kid i killed so many fishes. it was sad cuz i didnt no how to take care of them properly

yeah, last summer one of my dogs had to be put down and the other died a couple days later

Yes, several times. You certainly feel the loss, but life does go on.

I owned 4 dogs and a cat when I was a kid (over 10 years ago).

All my dogs died of sickness, but my cat died of old age (he was very, very old). I found it extremely hard to get over but I decided to simply forget them in the end anyways. It was too hard just thinking about them.

I had about three of my cats die 2 of old age and one of them was hit by a car

I had one dog die when I was little but I have another dog on death's door as we speak.

my pet bearded dragon died a while ago. he was 10 years old:( i miss him

my newest one(4 years old) isnt as social as my first:(

Ya. A bunch.

But my dog we had for 13 years, I miss the most. We let our friends take care of her, and she ran away from them. :(
