Wow, that brought tears to my eyes. It's not even been a month since I lost my bud of 13 yrs. We still have our moments and picked up her ashes a week ago, which brought up all the saddness all over again. After losing Jake I had to go out and get another dog right away(well 2), I can't...

OH NO!! It is so sad when this stuff happens to our beloved buddies. Please tell us what happens. Remember that whatever happens to your bud, she will always be ok - it is you that I am concerned about. I think it hurts more being left behind......

I just got three puppies, 2 small ones who are sisters from a breeder and I called one Aspen cuz her fur looks like the bark of an Aspen tree and Alli because she is a sweet kind little girl who doesn't bother anyone. That name reminded me of someone that would have that type of personality...

I'd restrict her water consumption for a bit, then when she does pee inside, say NO!! NO!! and return her right away to her outside pee spot. Once there, see if she does anymore business, praise and then put her in her kennel while you clean up her mess - don't let them see you clean it up...

Sweetgirl: Guilt is a very hard thing to get over, I'd say it is the worse thing to deal with - more than grief. It can eat your soul and create disease. You have to learn to forgive yourself and replace that guilt with the knowledge that your little Mattie had a great life and that's why she...

Please don't deny yourself the love you have to offer to another little dog that may not replace Mattie but enhance your life. We are only here once, why not make the best of it. I just lost my dog 2 days ago, I was devestated with grief, my husband is at home today as he can't face work. We...

Hi, I'd say that something is definately ailing your pup. He could be having an allergic reaction to something or even worse contracted something. If your dog's behavior changes and does not return to normal within a day or so, you should really consider taking it to a vet because they are...

Hi All: When I got home yesterday after putting her down, I went nuts. Such loud sobs of sorrow, I couldn't help myself, I collapsed on the kitchen floor, where I saw pieces of her dog food, she had this tendancy to grab food in ther mouth and then spit it all over the house. One of her crazy...

Well, today was the day we put Jake to rest. She was not well when we went to see her at the hospital. She had intravenous and an oxygen tube in through her nose into her lungs and then they stitched it above her eyelid and put a cone collar on her so she wouldn’t try to get it out. She...

Thank you Athebeau, this is really the first time I've had to experience this, I am sure having another dog around would have helped. The next time I get a dog, I am getting 2.

Thank you all for your support, I came to this forum this morning after dropping Jake of at the hospital only because I knew that people who can understand my pain will also help with the comfort and ease of letting go. It's already started and I am beginning to feel at peace, just wish the...

Thank you for this information, I will definately pursue healthier diet for my dog in the future. As for Jake, she's not gonna make it. I got a call from the vet and he said that she's not improving and that they want to give her 12 more hrs to see, but I am not hopeful. I know this is her...

Thank you for your post. I have considered seeing a holistic vet - that's if I can find one around here!! But in the interim, she's really not able to breath, she needs oxygen, the docs are trying to get it under control so she can come home. I'd have to continue with the medication if it works...

Your post made me cry, I know the pain you are feeling. My dog is very sick and not even gone and yet, I can't stop crying. She's 13 and we've had a great time and she a great life. She had all the love and gave it back triple. I only recently bought a house (I lived in a condo for 11 yrs)...

Hi All: I have recently joined this forum trying to get some answers from anyone out there who has gone through or is going through what I am right now. My little dog (she's 13.7 yrs) was rushed into the hospital last night because of problems breathing, coughing and weezing. I knew right...
