I get it completely. I ran into a house fire to rescue my dogs & I didn't succeed.
I puked & nearly passed out from smoke inhalation & couldn't find them. The firemen came, rescued me out of the house, & shortly after they brought out my dogs bodies.
I've never had another dog since. That was years ago & it still hurts like it was yesterday

@ChiefJustWalks Of course and I felt your pain just reading halfway through your comment. Don't blame yourself though man. In the end I am sure your babies knew how much you loved and still love them to this day and how far you were willing to go just to save their lives, even at the cost of risking yours. Your bond will never be broken even in death.

@alainc2490 one thing it taught me was how temporary everything is. Everythings temporary, including life itself. But everything else is replaceable. Life is not, unfortunately

@ChiefJustWalks Yes it's scary but it's a fact that we all have to accept. What hurts me about my dog passing away is that he knew his time was up and he waited with desperation until I was out of work to pick him up at my parents house just so he could pass away. It's like he couldn't pass away without knowing I was by his side. It broke my heart but at the same time it opened my eyes and showed me how deep his love was/is for me. Animals are truly pure creatures, purer than humans.

People who think that animals are insignificant to our lives have just never felt the unconditional love that they have to provide. During our darkest times, they're always there to provide distractions and comfort, and give us reasons to wake up in the morning and get ourselves together, and we do the same for them in return ❤️
alainc2490 · 31-35, M
@BigAssLeech I def agree with you 100%. My babies weren't just a distraction for me though. They gave my life meaning just like I gave theirs and they needed me just like I needed them. I believe God brought us each together at the perfect place and time. Ppl who believe otherwise are ignorant and have never experienced the unconditional love & affection that these unique beings have to give and offer. God bless all of these wonderful creatures especially those who are neglected and in need of love and special care. May God watch over u all and bring you someone that will protect, take care of and love you like you truly deserve <3.

@Dewkissedrose Thank you. This means a lot and it is very true. I know this bc even though at times my parents babysat him. Scotty never felt comfortable or lett himself be held by anyone unless it was me. The saddest thing is he waited for me to get out of work to die. It's like he knew his time was up and he dint wanna die without knowing I was by his side.

I'm sorry for your loss, Alain. I understand the pain of losing family. Everyone gets through the pain at their own pace. There's no predetermined length of time for grieving. I do know, however, that writing posts like this is greatly beneficial. Every chance you get, write and talk about him. Keep his memory alive. I hope it gets easier for you in the near future.
alainc2490 · 31-35, M
@BlackPhillip Thank you and yes his memory will forever live on in my mind and heart for as long as I live, along with my cat Kit's. Want to know y? Bc the pure love and affection that they gave me while they were alive is unforgettable and will always live on in existence and in my soul. I also have the comfort and knowledge of knowing that I will see them again one day...

@alainc2490 The love our pets give us is often greater than what some humans are capable of giving. I miss my dog very much, but he'll always be right with me.

It has been about 15 years now that I had to put my lab down.
I can't even talk to text this without tearing up.
Still hurts like it was yesterday.
You will move along but will never forget that feeling of a true bond.
I lost all wants to ever have another dog after him.
I could never put myself in another position to feel that kind of loss again.
I definitely understand what you are feeling. I am sorry you have to go through this.

@Dainbramadge Thank you so much and I am also so sorry for your loss. Like I've told other people before you never get over a loss of someone you really loved. You just learn to cope and live without them. Sending you and your fur baby all of the love and light in the universe and just know that you will both be reunited one day. Also know they are always watching over you with love in their hearts.

@WandererTony Best thing I can say is live in the moment and show that pup all the live in the world. So that when he leaves it, he leaves it with fond memories.
WandererTony · 56-60, M
@alainc2490 yes i totally agree. Life is now! And i owe him so much in return for what he gives me without expecting anything in return. Thanks for wording it so nicely. 🙂
