Loss of a Pet


Lossing your best friend

I loss my Petey-Boy, In Feb. 2006 it was the hardest thing for me to do and that was to out him down. To this day it still haunts me. How do you get over something like this? Let me know do I get another dog? Or just forget about it and just go on? Let me know.

I can totally understand your pain- I have been there. Everyone one grieves differently, so the healing process might be different from person to person. I would recommend giving yourself some time to grieve and work through your sorrow before getting another pet and waiting untill you come to terms with your loss just a little. As time passes your pain will slowly subside and you will better be able to come to terms with your loss. For me personally waiting a year or two is best, because sometimes you tend to compare the new pet to the one you have lost, and of course they will never be the same! You will love them but differently because they will be different. Just give yourself some time to heal and then decide. I am sorry for your loss, but just remember the love and happiness you gave to Petey-Boy.
