I lost something very important today



Recommended Posts

I never expected such an outpouring of support. You have all helped to remove the sting from this loss. His sister Lucy has become such a comfort as well. Today I was sitting in the studio and found one of his toys under my piano. It actually brought joy. He always layed under my feet when I work. My wife and I are doing fine now. We miss him but now we can only smile when thinking of him. You guys have been a tremendous blessing to us. Thank you.

I hope your heart is healing. Pedro was sending you a message that he is with you when you found his toy.

:wink2: I so understand your love and hurt. I am so very sorry. I lost my black lab to a car 4 days ago. My little house dog is slowing down now that he is 10 year old. I have lost a few already and sometimes wonder why we put ourself through it. May God give you peace.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.

My heart is hurting for you. I try very hard not to read sad animal stories because of the heavey heart I feel however i couldnt help but read yours. I have 4 dogs (all rescues) and have had dogs all my life. Losing one is losing your family member and the pain is unbearable. Give yourself some time to grieve then go to shelter and save a life. You can find the most wonderful dogs there including pure breeds. It wont replace the one you lost but will give you a new being to love and help you smile again.

I am so sorry for your loss....sometime it hurts so bad when we lose pets you wonder if it is worth having them. But if you stop and remember all the love and happiness you got from them, you'll see that it is worth it! And I would get another one after a while. You'll never be able to replace Pedro, but another dog will help fill some of the emptiness left by his passing, and Lucy will love having another companion also.

I am so sorry about the loss of your little baby. We just lost our 1 year old lab when she ran out in front of a car (she NEVER went near the road before!) My husband has PTSD and got her after his return from Iraq...she was a life saver to him and she went EVERYWHERE with him. He had such a hard time after she was killed. The kids and I discussed it and MADE him go look at shelter dogs. We thought it would be best for him to get one because of his depression...we now have 2 new babies!! They will never take the place of Chloe, but at least we know that they needed him as much as he need them.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm on vacation and my son called me crying yesterday because he backed over our 19 year old cat. That's such a horrifying thing. My heart goes out to you :(

I'm sorry about your loss. I have 3 cats and the thought of losing any of them makes me want to cry.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have a chiweenie and can understand your grief. I am glad that you are remembering the good times and glad Lucy can be of comfort. I have had to put one of my dogs to sleep and although it was hard, it does get better over time.

I see you are newly banded, I hope that is going well, it is the best thing I have ever done....Good Luck:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
