Here's a depressing post... lost my dog Angus last night. Had to put him down as he was in too much pain because of a legion on his brain that would swell.
Me and my brother had him from birth (the runt of the litter). I was 8 then, now I'm 28. I've lost family before but never felt this hurt. I keep hearing noises in the house and go looking for him without thinking. Totally lost my best friend.
He looked like a mix of squirrel and meercat! He was smaller than most cats.
Not sure why I'm posting here, not looking for sympathy... it's all a bit pathetic and I'll probably delete it later but wanted to share for now.
EDIT: Excuse the stupidly giant pic...

Sorry to hear that mate :(
-
Aye, really sorry to hear about this. Looked like quite a character too. RIP little fella.
-
My condolences. :(
He looks like a right character, 20 years is a bloody good innings as well.
-
That's really bad mate! Sorry to hear it

I don't think this is a pathetic post at all. I know the pain you are feeling and I send you my condolences.All you can do is think of the good times and that you gave the little guy a good home and he stuck around so long because of it. He must have had a great life and a kind master and if asked would have given a glowing report. I wish you well at this sad time.
-
I completely understand your feelings having been through the same. As has already been mentioned, twenty is a mighty age for a dog and a clear sign of happy and fulfilled life. My condolences to you at this sad time.

That is truly sad news Lew . :(
Sometimes our furry friends embody more 'human' qualities than we do. To emphasise how noble and relevant this post is - I remember when a Doctor at our local surgery ( who one might assume had a relatively detached perspective on mortality ) lost her beloved dog , she had to take a few days leave - inconsolable, and unable to function in public.
People like you and her , enhance my faith in human nature. What a blessing that Angus appeared in your lives - and that he found a very loving home to appreciate him.
( If you delete your original post we will all sulk ! )

I hope you feel better soon.

Agreed with Dave and Mr 38th. Sorry to hear about this :(
-
My condolences. I had a dog throughout my childhood that died in my mid teens - I know how you feel. They're family members and loyal friends and can indeed be remarkably 'human'; its a crushing blow to lose them.
-
Thanks for the messages, they mean alot.

I recently lost a dog a week ago. Well it was my Grandma's dog. Reggie, wire haired jack russel. He was smelly and lazy but he was bloody ace.
Sounds like he had a similar problem.
I know how it feels, I hate walking through the front door and not seeing him any more :(
Sorry to here 'bout Angus, he looks like a good friend :)
-
It's cr@p when they go. :(
-
Very sorry to hear this Lew, and as others have said it's not a pathetic post at all.
I think in some ways losing a pet hits harder than losing a relative - maybe because all the memories are good ones, whereas a relationship with a person has a lot more ups and downs. I still sometimes dream* about my dog even though she died over 20 years ago.
(* Not in a dodgy way, Afghan!)

Its awful losing pets, their love is unconditional and they are always there.

ms gwem is very fond of dogs and sends her sympathies also
-
really sorry to hear that :(
-
The relationship with a man and his dog is very special indeed.
Sorry for your loss Lew, like you and others I've lost a dog too.

That's so very true... I've lost 3 so far (and the 4th is getting on) and it's incredibly tough to say goodbye.
-
That's very sad indeed - my sympathies.
-
I feel for you, man.
It's a sad thing.
Judging from your story and pic, I'd say Angus must have been a real buddy and brother to you.
-
Yea, he was 8)
-
Sorry for your loss, Lew. Loosing a dog is unbelievably painful :(
-
Hope you feel better mate. I know its hard but just think of the good times.

Sad loss: Remember the good times.
