Re: Bad Day

My thoughts are with you ABOM. I know how hard it is, as our family has lost two beloved pets in the last 3 months as well. I share you mourning for our animal friends. Here's to being thankful for the time we had with them.

If I do that, it makes me even more sad. Because I see him as a little puppy, looking up at me with his big brown eyes, and now he's cold and in the ground...
maybe in a few weeks, but certainly not right now. Again, thank you for all the comments. It's nice to know there's so many dog and pets in general lovers.

I'm going to have a hard time filling his spot with another dog. Really, the whole family will be comparing the new dog to Jake, and I'm sure that Jake will win by a mile. He was quiet, yet lovable. He was also smart and learned which cars to bark at when they were pulling into the driveway. If it was my dad coming home from work, he'd do nothing. If it was the plumber, different story. *sigh*

Re: Bad Day

My sister had a fish once that got brain cancer. It didn't eat for a month. Then one day I noticed that it was dead. My sister was sad. I don't know what it's like to lose a dog, though. I've never had a pet other than a few fish.

Trust me, losing a dog is much harder, since they have emotions, and love you no matter what. It makes you feel special. My mom is saying the best way to get rid of the heart-ache is to get another dog, and suggested a Beagle. Anyone here have any advice as to what dog we could get in the future? I don't want to forget about Jake, of course, and definately don't want to rush into things.

Re: Bad Day

Honestly, the only thing that helps with a heartache is time and normal life. Getting back into your normal everyday routine helps, but only so much. It will take time.

If your family really wants to get another dog, beagles are great family dogs. My family (including extended) has always like miniature poodles (not the poofy fluffy kind) because they are smart, fun, small-ish, and have lots of energy.

No matter what though, just remember that nothing will make the hurt go away fast. It just takes time.

Re: Bad Day

Replacing a dog is impossible, so that's never the point. I once had a fantastic dog, also (part) border collie. I never though I could have a dog as good as him, but currently I have two german sheppard/border collie mixes that are great dogs as well. They all have their own personalities and different quirks about them. I love them all equally, but in different ways. But as great as my new dogs are, I never thinking of them having replaced my old friend.

Just don't be one of the people who swears off getting new dogs, because they don't think it will be as good as the last one. You sound like the type that would be a good home for any dog, so hopefully you can eventually accept another one in your family.

Re: Bad Day

I'm really sorry to hear this, ABOMINABLE. I'm sure that you will feel better at some point, but in the meantime, I'll be thinking of you.

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection!

That's a pretty good piece of advice! Thanks! If I get another dog, I shouldn't try and compare him/her to my old dog. I just need to like a different dog. I plan on getting a puppy; I know they're hard, I raised Jake from a pup, so I know puppies aren't all roses. Waking up at 2 A.M., making sure the dog is properly trained, etc. The reward in the end is a great dog.

Re: Bad Day

I'm so sorry for your loss. When I lost my dog I didn't want another dog for awhile. I had a husky that I had from a puppy until he turned 18. That guy was like a fuzzy, crazy brother. Eventually I got a beagle. Quite a size difference, but still almost as nutty. He's a great dog. I can recommend either of those breeds to you.

Re: Bad Day

Poodles are great family dogs. I have one, and she's been a great dog for 13 years. Great around kids, too!

And I'm very sorry to hear about your dog.

Re: Bad Day

At church tonight, they played Amazing Grace. It reminded me of you, ABOM.
