Loss of a Pet


My love, my heart I miss you

On February 21st, I lost the very best friend I have every had. Her name was Penny. I don't look at her as being a dog, she was like my own child. She was my family. I lay awake at night still crying and missing her as if it happend yesterday. I had her for nine wonderful years. I had gotten her when she was just six weeks old. The only thing that really helps me even just a little bit is remembering the good times and the funny things she used to do. I remember when I was about 6 months pregnant with my oldest daughter which was nearly six years ago now, my Penny used to lay her head on my belly and everytime the baby would kick she would look up at me with this funny look and then she'd look at my belly and slowly lay her head back down. She did that quite a bit through out my pregnancy. When my oldest daughter was born, for about the first month and a half, Penny would not leave her side, she wouldn't even go outside to use the bathroom unless I picked my daughter up and took her to the back door with us. Penny was a wonderful companion and I miss greatly with each passing day. It feels good to be able to write this and get it out. I don't have anyone that really understands how hard it is to deal with this loss. Most people I know, think of pets as just that pets and that the loss shouldn't effect you. I feel like they could never know true love if they have never felt what I felt / feel for my Penny. She was more than a dog, she was family. I miss her so much. Thank you for listening and allowing me to vent.

All I can say is enjoy the memories you had. Every loss is different even if you have lossed someone yourself. People say the strangest things when they do not know what to say. It is more for them i think. Anyway I believe there is not a limited time to grieve and you have to take each day as it comes. You lossed something you loved and that is it. All you can do now is enjoy the memories of what you had and be grateful for the moments of joy that relationship brought. You may get another pet down the road but they will not be a replacement it will be a new relationship :). (My childhood dog was named penny, what a sweet wild thing she was)

Dear friend,

I fully understand the sadness that covers you. My own friend Michael was just three,and i am trying to
get over the loss. I know they love us back a hundred times more than the people whom we love.

I'm very sorry for your loss and hope your heart soon starts to heal. Our pets are a big part of our lives and it does hurt to lose them to death. I had a main coon cat named Mickey who I had for 17 years and was just a few months older than my youngest daughter. I considered him my boy. Almost two years ago this Christmas I had to lay him to rest because he was suffering so much and it was the kind thing to do. He HATED going to the vet for his checkups but the day I took him to be put to rest he purred so loud I knew he was ready. It felt to me he was saying it was ok and he loved me too. Even now I can cry because I miss him. I ended up going to the local ASPCA and adopted not one but two wonderful kitties. They arent my Mickey but I adore them so much. The one is a little calico kitty girl named Samantha, she makes my heart smile. She thinks I rock and it helps for my heart to heal to see her playing and jumping around. Maybe something like this will help you too. They cant take our beloved pets place but can help to channel the pain. Best wishes to you and I hope your holiday season is good for you and your loved ones.
