This got me thinking...?

Question

Well, my friends have a 12 year old Great Dane and she is very sick. it made me think how dogs can't live as long as you think they will and my dog is already 6 (he is a Pug) and I can't stop thinking of him being dead :( when i look at my friends dog i start to cry knowing that soon her eyes might close and never open again. she won't bark at the window when someone is coming again. and now i can only think what will happen when my dog dies. have you ever felt this way?

legit-

how will you feel when your dog dies?

A) burst into tears for at least 3 days

B) sob for about 2 hours

C) sniff for 5 minutes

D) not care at all

(for me its A)

THANKS!

Answer 1

i was supposed to put down my 14 yr old Aussie and my 16 yr old cat today. but i chickened out. it HAS to be done next week.

on May 6, 2005 i put 2 dogs down together. 17 yr old Timber and 13 yr old Isis (yep! thats me! in her honor). i crawled into bed for 2 weeks. and i still have crying jags.

Answer 2

A) burst into tears for at least 3 days (make that a month!)

I don't think I could handle it. I know it is going to happen one day but I don't feel like that day is coming you know? I just can't imagine it actually happening.

Answer 3

My first dog I lost I felt so miserable that she could have been taken so quickly from us, so I did A..

I know the dog I have now, if he died I would probably do A x 3.

I love all of my dogs but its a way of life, everything just has to keep going, doesn't stop the pain though.  

Answer 4

Uh...this isn't a chat room.

If you want your dog to live a long,healthy life, then feed it good food..love it..and give it regular exercise.

I had a dog that lived for 17 years.It's possible.

Answer 5

I would cry alot more than three days.  They are so much my family it is not funny.  I know that maybe crying might not continue for weeks on end, but then I am going to think....when I get into the truck and have to go somewhere...Tulssa, or Roper will not get to go for anymore rides, or bark at the cars.  Or Tulssa not being there to let me cuddle up to her when my day has gone bad.  Oh my gosh I have to stop this...here I am having tears stream down my face right now...I am such a wuss.  But, I guess it just shows I really do love my dogs.

Answer 6

12 years is a LONG time for a Dane.  My Uncle had them for years and 8-9 years has been the longevity of his Danes.  All animals and people pass on, so love your pet and spoil it rotten.

Answer 7

I just lost my oldest dog yesterday and I am still crying about her.The pain of losing her will never go away but as time moves I'll be able to cope with her loss.I would choose A    

Answer 8

Of course I will be very upset. I will be losing my best friend/member of the family.

It will take me a long time to get over the passing of my dogs.  

Answer 9

probably a year of crying even if i dont have a dog...i know the feeling

Answer 10

A) my Dane is like my child I get sad thinking about her getting sick. I had a scare a few months ago when she has some sort of food poisoning and I couldn't stop crying. My grandfather past away a month ago and i barley shed a tear. I'm not a very emotional person and defiantly don't let my feelings show but A) without a doubt for my dog.  

Answer 11

Oh, definitely A.  I think I will have to take funeral leave from work because I would be so upset : ) I think about that stuff sometimes too but I just have to put it out of my mind because it makes me too sad.
