Chin up mate same thing happened too me with my dog Millie 6 weeks ago its as bad as losing a human family member

walking down the holmesdale road to see the palace aces!

So sad, but people who haven't had pet animals rarely realise how strong the love for one's pet can be.

I too was absolutely shattered when our adored Westie terrier had to be terminated. As pointed out above a pet is a real family member and in many ways it is more upsetting to lose them than a real human relative. You can't tell them what's going on and that you are doing the right thing to prevent them from unnecessary suffering.

Just remember the good times they have brought and they will always remain in your memory.

Nothing is fool-proof - fools are too ingenious

je suis une tarte aussi mes amis, lost my moggie on xmas eve, it's embarrassing how much i miss him, more than some close relatives which sounds weird, but i don't 'miss' people when they go,it's different, too deep or something, but the silly way my old cat used to cheer me up and make me laugh i do miss. he was a real friend.

Thanx for all the support
Just opened the back door to call her in.
Omg I'm sad and sad for my Mrs and kids.
My younger one in bits
He's 18 and type 1 in Jan and hospital tomorrow to check if celiac.
Maybe the shock has bought out all of his pain about his condition.
I wish it was me

I lost my poor, beautiful Bonnie a couple of years ago to cancer at the age of 8. I'll never get over losing her.

I agree. And I’m sorry.

The ones we lose can never be replaced, and I felt pangs of guilt about going out and looking for a new sister for our baby boy. We found her, and I confirm that it’s possible to love another while still loving the one you lost.

With retired greyhounds there is also some consolation in that you are giving them their first ever home (their “forever home” as the Greyhound Trust describes it) thereby saving them from a uncertain future. And they are fantastic, loving, loyal pets that need very little exercise
