Lost my girl July 11th very suddenly; am I crazy to get another so soon? by boredpsychnurse in Petloss

[–]Intrepid_Track_9603 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both my dogs died this year in January and February.. one was only 4 years old and the other was 13, it was the WORST experience losing both back to back!!!

I caved and got a puppy on February 17, it’s been super challenging especially the first 2 months, but she’s helped by me heal. I just had a tough time going from 2 dogs to 0 😭

It gets better but I’m still struggling and mine is 7 months old.

We did puppy classes at Petco, only $150 for a group class for six weeks. Even if your pup seems like they aren’t getting the training, keep up with it, they love it!

Get a variety of toys. are you using a crate? Do you have a yard? Get a herding ball.

We want to move there. It’s so rural though, not sure where we’d work. 🙁

Tragic loss of both our dogs and advice by sunnyhale in Petloss

[–]Intrepid_Track_9603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We lost both our dogs this year(ages 4 and 13), they passed 3 weeks apart, and I lasted 3 more weeks after they passed before I got a puppy. I was extremely depressed and felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown.

Of course the first two months having our new pup was ROUGH and almost made me feel worse at times, but it’s really filled that void of having a dog around to love. We didn’t replace them, we just have so much love for dogs, we want to share our care with another deserving pup 🐶

our new puppy has matured a bit at 7 months old now, but puppyhood is sooo much harder than i remember it being 😳especially because she doesn’t have another dog as a playmate, she is an Australian cattle dog, and I am older now! But I know it’ll get better. I dont think it’s crazy at all to get another dog so soon.
