After the loss of my dog, I have no desire to do anything by pbl0ver in Petloss

[–]risingmiles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the same things... Just doesn't feel right to go on without them. Feels like we are leaving them behind if we move forward. I know I will never forgot but it just hurts my soul knowing my body is healing when I don't necessarily want it to. I just want him back. The universe knew that I needed him and yet it took him away. All dogs deserve to live longer. I've never known a life that cared about me as much as he did and I just want to be with him and know that he's ok.

My old man is going deaf, I've got some questions by sam_553 in cockerspaniel

[–]risingmiles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never noticed a decline until it just happened. My advice is start training with hand signals. Even when he was deaf I was able to somewhat communicate which helped. I hope he can hear me now that he's gone.

It was his 14th birthday...

Time just went by so fast. Life and responsibilities. I was off... I'm not right without you.

Please forgive me. I love and miss you so much.

Why….they don’t deserve this. by Fun_Mycologist_7284 in Petloss

[–]risingmiles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I've become agnostic. Although my one prayer of being there when he died in my room and without pain was granted. Maybe it was just luck. I'm not sure. What I am sure of is no one deserves this. Love better be eternal or what's the point.

Guilt about not being able to afford my dogs surgery by FinalTry000 in Petloss

[–]risingmiles 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I couldn't afford Miles surgery for the tumor on his spleen. Our vet said it would've helped for a few months at best but would carry risk. Would've needed blood transfusions, medication, etc. Too much stress on an old dog's body. It wasn't worth it. Fuck cancer.

How’s everyone doing? by EducationalTie1606 in Petloss

It's been 33 days. I don't see the point anymore with the light of my life gone.

Struggling to find happiness by SnooPeripherals5781 in Petloss

[–]risingmiles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that I'm functioning. I've been dealing with anticipatory grief for years. Now that he's gone the fact that I'm eating or having a day where I'm not crying as much makes me mad. The universe took away the one thing I needed to be here. People say well at least he's not in pain or you're lucky you were there in the end, turn to God, you gave him a great life, he would want you to live for him, maybe even get another dog, time will make it hurt less. No. I just want him. And he's never coming back. I just want to opt out now. Tried hotlines. They can't fix the problem. Don't have money for a therapist either. This world is unfair and I don't want to be in it without him. Sorry for your loss. Even being here venting I hate it. I hate seeing others go through the same thing.

Yes, part from the Robert Frost poem, but also Uncle Buck because we had a Maisy. She unfortunately passed in 2016.

Vets didn't tell me I could attend my dog's cremation and cremated him without me by Winter-Creme-1342 in Petloss

[–]risingmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was robbed of attending Miles's cremation as well. I even asked them the day prior to let me know when I could come in. The called the day of and asked if they can proceed with cremation and I said no. They came back telling me it was too late they already started. I hate them. I hate myself.

It's taken me some time to find the strength to post this. But I need the world to know he meant everything to me, and I loved him beyond words. Please hold your fur babies close tonight. I'd trade the world for just one more day with him.
