We all been there and yeah its sad its the worst part of dog ownership. Remember the good times the places you walked the times your dog made you laugh, grieve and in a couple of months get yourself another dog you can train and love again..

I lost my little girl last Monday 15th july.......Ive picked up her ashes today and I just can't stop crying either, I truly thought having her here with me again would of made me feel better, in fact its done the opposite....I don't know which way to turn at the moment. Your not on your own hun.....sending hugs to you xx

I lost my family dog, Buddy, when I was only 15, so I know the pain you feel. He is always in my heart, I've never forgotten him.

The loss you feel will ease over time, I still miss Buddy to this day, but I know he's not in pain anymore. Just know that you're not alone, other people on this forum have been through the same thing and you have endless support on here x

It's not easy. In fact it's one of the hardest things I've experienced in my life so far. Several months on and I still have very very bad days, but they're further apart. More often I can now think of the happy things for a few minutes before they make me cry again. Those first few days/weeks I thought I would never be able to breathe again.

The best advice I got was to remember that we don't get over it, we go through it. And that it takes a year for the worst of it to completely pass as you go through all your 'firsts'.

Take care and know that you are not alone.

Let me say this my last lurcher was perfect fir me in everyway the bond was awesome never put a foot wrong when i wasmt right she was there, so at ten she picked up some poison and died now i didnt just lose the dog but for me it was the way she died that was so hard, truth is i blamed myself but a few months later a dog came up that i said this could work then another month later dog number came up and guess what? Dog one is great and dog two has bonded with me sooooo much its just great, you must and will move on and find the next special dog that fits you once again, you have your memories so use them and injoy the next... Hope this helps.
