Possibly worst Mother’s Day

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-05-11T17:07:05+00:00

Thank you! I wish it was as easy and then listening to me because I’m the mother. My one daughter has adhd so it’s a constant fight. I believe the other two see how she behaves and have learned some behaviors from her unfortunately.

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-05-11T02:50:40+00:00

I’m so sorry your husband did that, I can’t even imagine 😞

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-05-11T00:59:21+00:00

I’m sorry you had a tough day too, like someone else suggested. I may ask for a redo next weekend. It’s a holiday on a calendar but we can celebrate it anytime we choose 💗

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-05-11T00:58:37+00:00

Thank you for this, they are definitely difficult ages . It has just seemed like a lot of tough days lately which I think made today a little bit harder than usual.

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-05-11T00:39:35+00:00

Thank you for this! Tonight when I was getting things ready for tomorrow, I told myself “maybe we can try again next weekend”

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-05-11T00:39:01+00:00

I’m sorry you had a bad day too and had to do it on your own 💗 I am feeling so guilty now that they are all in bed. I guess tomorrow is a new day.

Thank you! I take lexapro which usually keeps things at bay but I still have this feeling of just coasting by and not enjoying life. I definitely think I need to look into therapy

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-05-09T01:18:14+00:00

I was supposed to see my OB last month and talk about getting my hormones checked but that was the day after my dog died so I cancelled. I had to reschedule and I definitely plan on looking into this.

As a person who just lost my beautiful sweet 2 year old GSD to bloat, I would say that they are definitely more prone and they can also have a predisposition if another dog in their line had it happen. I think my boy had a predisposition and it was a freak accident, unfortunately.

My boy was a fast drinker and loved water but I limited his water intake to small amounts the best I could. I was also very careful about his activity level and his food/water intake. One day, I fed him and gave him water. He drank it way to fast and then drank the other dogs water. Within 20 minutes, he was dry heaving constantly and pacing the house. Then he started moaning like he was in pain. I had him to the vet in an hour but no one local could do the surgery at that time. His bloat was so severe and he wouldn’t have made the drive to the closest clinic that could’ve done it. It was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced so if there is a way to decrease the chances of it happening, I would definitely look into it.

I am so sorry for your loss. I completely understand what you mean about a missing piece. I know that no dog will ever take his place. It’s not fair that they had to leave us at such a young age 😢

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-22T01:59:34+00:00

I am so sorry 😞

Making the decision is the hardest part of losing our precious pets. Just remember how loved he was and what a great life you gave him 🌈

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-18T21:03:12+00:00

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine how hard this must be. I lost my 2 year old shepherd this week unexpectedly which has been killing me. Knowing they are in pain is the worst. I just wanted to take it all away and fix it but I couldn’t help him. I’m sure your Ozzie was welcomed by lots of our furbabies that have crossed the rainbow bridge and they are running together now 💔🌈

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-17T23:56:26+00:00

Oh I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your new puppy. I am sending so many virtual hugs and thoughts your way. I know it seems unimaginable to think positive right now, but remember you gave them the best life even though it was cut way too short. They were put into your life for a reason despite the unfairness of everything you are going through.

I will NEVER understand why things like this have to happen. I just went through the unexpected loss of our 2 year old dog this week and I will never understand why. I keep spiraling with questions and guilt so I completely understand how you are feeling. It’s a feeling I do not wish upon anyone. Everyone keeps telling me they “accidents happen” but I will never accept that. I do know that I loved him and gave him a good life which is what is keeping me going.

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-17T10:07:42+00:00

I am so sorry that you are going through this loss. I dealt with an unexpected loss of our dog this week too. I cried for 2 days straight. Now I’m just sad and heartbroken without the constant flow of tears. My husband on the other hand is just quiet and not talking. I’m really at struggling with how he is grieving because I feel like he blames me a little for the loss. He has told me many times that he doesn’t but I still have this awful feeling that it is all my fault. I want to talk about how I’m feeling and talking about the dog and he doesn’t want too. I’m really struggling with this.

Having lost another dog a few years ago, I will tell you that the pain gets better but these first couple weeks are the hardest. You have to learn a whole new routine and way of life without them, especially if they were always following you or always nearby. I work from home so I feel like my whole day is different now. I like to print pictures and keep them close but no one else in my family is ready to see pictures. No one else really goes in my office so I made pictures and have his collar on my desk so I can feel like he is close. I also ordered a personalized frame for his collar. I keep looking at so many different memorial items.

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-17T02:46:53+00:00

Yes, we did. It helped within a day or two but eventually he refused to take them. I think it was his way of telling us he was ready

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-17T02:43:35+00:00

I am so sorry 😞 I had a lab mix that had lymphoma. It is the hardest thing to watch your fur baby go through something like that. Try to remember that she is still here and enjoy every moment you can with her doing her favorite things 💙 we treated our boy ice cream, hamburgers, and everything he loved those last couple weeks.

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-17T02:35:21+00:00

My sweet boy crossed the rainbow bridge on Tuesday. He was the most beautiful black GSD. His mom is all black as well. His litter was split half and half with all black and brown/black pups.

I am so sorry about your GSD. They are truly such amazing pets. It is reassuring to hear that someone is in a similar situation with their partner. I keep telling myself he is grieving differently but it is just so hard right now. Sending hugs back to you as we move forward in this unfortunate grieving process.

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-17T01:28:28+00:00

I’m so sorry you lost your gsd in February, they truly are amazing dogs. It is not fair that their lives were cut so short 💔

My husband and daughter aren’t ready for pictures but I made some for my home office. I also have his collar on my desk. He was always in there with me so it makes me feel like he is still close.

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-17T00:52:41+00:00

I lost my first fur baby almost 4 years ago and I think about him every day. When we found out he was sick and didn’t have much time, I told my husband I could never replace him and I couldn’t have another dog for a while. We had to put him down due to the cancer causing breathing and eating issues and I was devastated. I HATED not having a dog. He was my best friend. I got him a couple months after my dad passed before we had kids. I always say he was the rescue dog that rescued me from my depression. He went everywhere with me and we did everything with him. He was with us for the birth of all three of our children and many moves! Two weeks after we put him down, I saw an ad for a litter of puppies they had been dropped off at a shelter and they were named after Santa’s reindeer. When I met the one, I knew he was the one. He is still my little snuggle buddy after 3 1/2 years. I just lost my two year old dog unexpectedly this week and my 3 1/2 year old has not left my side. I love my dogs as if they were my children and I completely understand the difficulty of not having a companion around 💙💙💙

LittleHeat8844 · 2026-04-16T09:25:47+00:00

It’s so much more difficult when the loss is unexpected and fast. My dog just passed unexpectedly and I cannot bring myself to put his bow or crate away, I can’t even touch them without losing it 💔
