    Hello,

    I know how you feel. My dog died 3 years ago and it is a big deal. They're one of the family. Time is a great healer and you will feel better eventually. Try thinking of the happy times you gave him and the great life he had. Sadly, a lot of dogs don't get such a chance for a great life. I bought a small tree in a pot and put my dogs ashes under the tree. ( I made sure it was in a pot in case we moved house ).

    Maybe you could volunteer at an animal shelter. It will make you feel better.

    I got another dog a few weeks later from a rescue centre and it was the best thing I ever did. She is so loving. She doesn't replace my last dog, but she fills a gap.

    I'm just saying you will feel better with time and you should feel proud that you gave a great dog a loving home.

    Definitely try the volunteer thing. It'll make you feel better.

    Hope this helps

    Take care.

    P.S. Ignore Lyndsay B. She's just a dick and has no friends!

    Grieving the loss of a loved one is always difficult, whether it's a family member, a friend or a pet, it's all the same. Only time will help you to feel any better. We recently lost our dog who we'd had for about 8 years, and I still cry when I think of some of the things he does. I know my husband is sad for his loss, too, but I'm pregnant right now and my husband really wanted for our family to have a dog, and I knew that we'd need to get one trained before baby arrives. So we got another dog almost right away. She doesn't take the place of the one that we lost, but she's completely different. Everyone is different in what they need, but if it's possible, you might be able to find a dog or maybe a cat with a completely different personality ... it can help remove the sting by having "someone" new in your life to love.

    Its really horrible losing a dog that you love so much. Its natural to grieve like you are. For a while, you'll imagine him around the house, doing all the funny stuff that he would usually do, but eventually that grieve with turn into respect. He was your best fried, and you should honour him as such. People who say that he's only a dog don't have a clue about life, and are stupid!

    So grieve for Buster, he was your best friend in life, he was there for you through so much, but know that you'll soon heal that part of your heart that hurts. The best way to do so is by talking to family or friends that understand, and just don't hold any emotions in. Good luck xx

    "i cnt stop thinking about my little man , and all the daft things he'd dooo !"

    But...in years to come, you *will* forget these things. So write them down now while the memories are fresh. Make a little "tribute' book to Buster. Maybe put in a few photos too. Let yourself grieve for your friend for a while, but know that Buster wouldn't want you to remain sad. He'd want you to go on living and be happy, wouldn't he? So for his sake, find a way to do that.

    I'm sorry dear, I know how you feel too. Last October my 13 year old Black lab Husky mix passed away. I had to have her put down. She was with me since I was 9. It was definitely one of the saddest things ever.

    Your dog is in a better place. He doesn't have to suffer anymore. In time, you'll feel better. I have a new dog now, but I still miss my girl!

    Dogs are family members too. So Stella that was a very cruel thing to say. It's a big deal to lose a pet.

    Whoever told you he was just a dog, has clearly never loved another species. Dogs can become our soul mates and life partners. Id say you bury the ashes in his favorite place and get a new puppy for yourself. Buster can never be replaced, but that doesn't mean you can't have another best friend! Never forget buster, but give yourself and a furry buddy a chance at love again :)

    i lost my Dog to Lyme's and an autoimmune disorder and he was only a year and 4 months old when we put him down, i miss him A lot i had him for 11 months, he turned out to be a good dog and my family said he clicked with me and we did everything together. i have his ashes and they are in my room, his chain collarr is on his box of ashes. its gotten better but easter will never be the same because that was a day after we put him down. and now i have another dog not to replace him but to give another dog a good home it took me 3 months to get another one.

    You could probably get another dog, to try and take your mind off him, and move on.

    Um, it's not that big of a deal. You will get over him with time. Just grieve him for the time being…let it all out, and then get out of the house and get on with your life.
