angelfyre, normal ra man na nga dili pa ka ganahan magpet ug bag-o. Ang atong mga pets, part sad sa atong family. Mas maayo pa gani na sila sa tawo kay unconditional man ang ilang love para nato maski ato gibunalan o nakalimtan ug pakaon. Para nila, kita gihapon ang "apple in their eyes". Mao nang, lisud gyud kung mamatyan ta ug close pet.

Sa pagkakaron, naa pa ka sa grieving stage. After a few weeks, maabot raman pud ka sa stage of acceptance. At that point ready na ka mag pet ug usab.

Sakto, ayaw usa ug kuha ug bag-o na pet karon. Kay substitution ang mahitabo. Mag-expect ka nga ang bag-o na pet will act or love you the same way as your old pet. Dili man na healthy na relationship kay that is a new dog that needs to grow up and will develop a personality of his own.

Don't worry. It's natural and VERY normal to feel sad about the death of your dog.

Kung ganahan ka mag-consult or want to share lang about the death of your pet, talk to doc jing sa animal kingdom. kasabot na siya kay iya gani doberman iya man gi pa cremate pagkamatay.

share lang ko ha.

dis wat i read when one of our dogs died..

The Journey by Crystal Ward Kent
When you bring a pet into your life, you begin a journey - a journey that
will bring you more love and devotion than you have ever known, yet also
test your strength and courage
If you allow, the journey will teach you many things, about life, about
yourself, and most of all, about love. You will come away changed forever,
for one soul cannot touch another without leaving its mark.
Along the way, you will learn much about savoring life's simple pleasures -
jumping in leaves, snoozing in the sun, the joys of puddles, and even the
satisfaction of a good scratch behind the ears.
If you spend much time outside, you will be taught how to truly experience
every element, for no rock, leaf, or log will go unexamined, no rustling
bush will be overlooked, and even the very air will be inhaled, pondered,
and noted as being full of valuable information. Your pace may be slower -
except when heading home to the food dish - but you will become a better
naturalist, having been taught by an expert in the field.
Too many times we hike on automatic pilot, our goal being to complete the
trail rather than enjoy the journey. We miss the details - the colorful
mushrooms on the rotting log, the honeycomb in the old maple snag, the hawk
feather caught on a twig. Once we walk as a dog does, we discover a whole
new world. We stop; we browse the landscape, we kick over leaves, peek in
tree holes, look up, down, all around. And we learn what any dog knows: that
nature has created a marvelously complex world that is full of surprises,
that each cycle of the seasons bring ever changing wonders, each day an
essence all its own.
Even from indoors you will find yourself more attuned to the world around
you. You will find yourself watching summer insects collecting on a screen.
(How bizarre they are! How many kinds there are!), or noting the flick and
flash of fireflies through the dark. You will stop to observe the swirling
dance of windblown leaves, or sniff the air after a rain. It does not matter
that there is no objective in this; the point is in the doing, in not
letting life's most important details slip by.
You will find yourself doing silly things that your pet-less friends might
not understand: spending thirty minutes in the grocery aisle looking for the
cat food brand your feline must have, buying dog birthday treats, or driving
around the block an extra time because your pet enjoys the ride. You will
roll in the snow, wrestle with chewie toys, bounce little rubber balls till
your eyes cross, and even run around the house trailing your bathrobe tie -
with a cat in hot pursuit - all in the name of love.
Your house will become muddier and hairier. You will wear less dark clothing
and buy more lint rollers. You may find dog biscuits in your pocket or
purse, and feel the need to explain that an old plastic shopping bag adorns
your living room rug because your cat loves the crinkly sound.
You will learn the true measure of love - the steadfast, undying kind that
says, "It doesn't matter where we are or what we do, or how life treats us
as long as we are together." Respect this always. It is the most precious
gift any living soul can give another. You will not find it often among the
human race.
And you will learn humility. The look in my dog's eyes often made me feel
ashamed. Such joy and love at my presence. She saw not some flawed human who
could be cross and stubborn, moody or rude, but only her wonderful
companion. Or maybe she saw those things and dismissed them as mere human
foibles, not worth considering, and so chose to love me anyway.
If you pay attention and learn well, when the journey is done, you will be
not just a better person, but the person your pet always knew you to be -
the one they were proud to call beloved friend.
I must caution you that this journey is not without pain. Like all paths of
true love, the pain is part of loving. For as surely as the sun sets, one
day your dear animal companion will follow a trail you cannot yet go down.
And you will have to find the strength and love to let them go. A pet's time
on earth is far too short - especially for those that love them. We borrow
them, really, just for awhile, and during these brief years they are
generous enough to give us all their love, every inch of their spirit and
heart, until one day there is nothing left.
The cat that only yesterday was a kitten is all too soon old and frail and
sleeping in the sun. The young pup of boundless energy wakes up stiff and
lame, the muzzle now gray. Deep down we somehow always knew that this
journey would end. We knew that if we gave our hearts they would be broken.
But give them we must for it is all they ask in return. When the time comes,
and the road curves ahead to a place we cannot see, we give one final gift
and let them run on ahead - young and whole once more. "Godspeed, good
friend," we say, until our journey comes full circle and our paths cross
again.

wa pa namatay ako doggie pero nakahilak ko sa last post

[max domon]

lagi, i cried when my dog died and again i cried when i read this.

[snussy]

do u get sad when ur dog dies? it may seem like a stupid question to some. some laugh when they hear of dog lovers who literally mourn their dog.

two of my fave dogs died just recently. dodie died last dec. 29. he was poisoned by cyanide. our neighbor did it..he'll get whats due to him. his twin, billy just died this morning. he was not poisoned though. he was ok, but he somehow got sick wid some kind of a liver disease and died in the vet's clinic after. ana jd cguro ng twins? its a double whammy. two of my favorite dogs. its ironic, when its the year of the fire dog, their year.

im sorry to hear that.. i know how it feels... BDW how old are the dogs? well for ur neighbor hu did it... BURN them alive...

in human years, my twins were 5 years old, having been born july 13, 2001. in dog years, they were 33 yrs old. It is a common belief that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. That is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years. The formula used above is from a canine expert and is a bit more accurate. (as accurate as one can judge these things)
The formula is: 10.5 dog years per human year for the first 2 years, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after.

as for the lowlife neighbor, he loves to kill dogs for food. daghan kaau sya kontra dri sa amo. for no reason, he shoots dogs. pirmi na nako ni nakaaway. gpapulis na gane nako ni one time. nagdumot jd cguro ni sya nako...or maybe he n his lot have some bad intentions sa among haus. daghan kaau kog dogs...like 14 kabuok? cge cla yaw² nga daghan kaau mi dogs and saba kuno. duh! saba man jd ng iro! 4 of our dogs he poisoned. wat makes me so sure? ky wa koy lain kontra and way lain dinhi sa amo nga kontra kaau sa mga iro.

sumtimes, i wish apilon nis mga vigilantes kaning ing-ani nga klase nga mga taw ba. too bad our pet laws here in PI have no teeth...pardon the pun.

amo sad, 15 dogs amo..all sizes and breeds..nobody messes up with me though..known man among dogs na mu bite.. my big dogs used to attack people (sa ilang previos owner).. usually kung naay mag cge ug panungog na mga bata, ako buhi-an among 6 dogs... they love to chase bad kids.. hehehe

my other 8- plus babies are now in heaven... they are resting peacefully in our backyard...

[mykelchua]

when my dog died last year, i didnt cry but boy was i sad. First of all ang dog dili cya nindot ug breed like most of our dogs. You could say askal cya coz of her looks but shes really malambing. She was a mix of doberman and a labrador. She stood tall like the dob but had the heart of the lab. The only problem was she was restrained since my folks were afraid she might go out and bite people. So one day we had this party i remember it was August 6th of last year. after two days, she was feeling lazy, wasnt the usual jumping, running dog that she was. She just lied there stiff so we brought her to the vets. Then the damn doctors told us they had to perform tests on her but it was on the following day pa. There was a lot of time to do it but ugma pa jud daw. The next day, they just called to inform us that Apple died. Sad thing was when she was alive no one was spending that amount of time and none of us realized how important she was. Kind of like when you realize youve lost a relative.
