I am sorry for your loss. I know your pain is great. My husband and I lost our fur baby in October 2014. It's been almost 4 months and it still hurts. Even though I haven't posted anything in a while. Reading what others are going through helps me to know I am not alone. My hearts till breaks when I come home from work. I miss him so much. I was outside this past Sunday picking ups twigs from where the wind blew hard and they were all over the yard. I had to take a moment and cry till I felt my heart would break. My Chopper loved going outside, he was an indoor pet, whenever he saw me get my shoes on he jumped right up and he knew we were going outside. Since his passing, I don't spend time outside much anymore, it's too painful still. This website is wonderful. It's great to have a place to share your pain and memories with others that understand that kind of pain.........

I wanted to share our story about our sweet little boy, Chopper. He came into our lives 13 years ago. He was very special to us. He was an indoor pet. He had a doggy bed in just about every room. He was very spoiled and so loved. My husband spoiled him, and I spoiled and babied him. He had some health issues. He was on thyroid and arthritis medication. He was doing well though, until the beginning of this year. He was having trouble breathing. Later he was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and Laryngeal Paralysis. He was put on medication for his CHF. Hot weather and the humidity was not good for him. We were glad cold weather was coming. He so loved being outside on the porch looking at the neighbors and watching traffic going by. We knew the day would come when he would not be with us. My husband did not want Chopper last day be on a metal table. I had already decided to have a Vet come to the house when the time came. We wanted him to be in his own surroundings where he was the happiest. We waited too late. The last weekend he was with us, I could tell he was not doing well. He had a bad episode on Monday. It was time....didn't plan ahead. I couldn't find a Vet on such short notice, but I eventually did, by the time the Vet arrived, Chopper passed away on my lap. It was so heartbreaking.... He didn't pass away as peacefully as we had hoped............deeply regret not planning better. We actually thought we had more time. We miss him so much. I miss him waiting for me whenever I got home, ready to go outside. He especially liked laying on the porch every day. Weekend were the best, that was our quality time. Life without him has been one of the hardest thing I have ever gone through. Not one day goes by that I look around the house and remember where he used to lay. I wish we could have had one more day with him. It will be one month this week that his been gone. So sad right now..........

His name was Chopper, but I called him Choppie sometimes. I'll try to post a picture soon. We had him cremated and is sitting on the dresser along with his collar and his ball. His other toys I have put up. It's still hard to look at his picture.

I am sorry for your loss. My husband and I just lost our sweet puppy last month in October (he was actually 13yrs old) we never called him a dog. I lost my father in December 2013 and I miss him dearly, but losing my fur baby hurts so much. At first my friends seem to understand my loss, but since then I feel alone I want to talk about him and I feel they don't want to hear about it anymore. They too have lost pets, but I guess they have moved on. I still miss him very much. I wish so much I could see him again and kiss his head like I used to. It breaks my heart. I have so many memories. He was a lab mix. We have a big front porch and he loved laying on the front porch watching the neighbors and cars going by. On the weekends, I sit on the porch drinking my coffee and enjoying watching him. He loved being outside. He was an indoor pet, when he was ready to go inside he was ready. I cannot bring myself to go outside at this time. I remember his favorite spots. What hurts the most is that a month ago, he was right here with me now he is only a memory. How am I going to get passed this. It has gotten a little easier, but not a day goes by that I have to have a good cry. It helps.....
