Jeffy
Hi my dog Jefferson, Great Pyrenees 10 years old died on May 5th. He had a tumor in his foot and on may 4th he didnt move and wouldnt eat. So I got really scared and thought about what could happen. Then the next morning he was outside with his tongue out of his mouth with a pool of saliva. His blinking reflexing weren't working anymore and he was breathing very shallow. Well when I got home he had died. And it was very sad for me and I cried a lot for the first 2 days. Now I just only cry when I see his hair somewhere. I really miss him and I've had him for 9 1/2 years. I dont know what to do right now because I miss him soo much and I need advice to make me feel better.

well we lost our dog to a similar prob but we didnt no he had a tumor till he was in the vet cause he was acting weird. he ended up dying after emercency surgery but i found the best thing was just to get my mind off the things and about 2 monthes later we ended up getting a puppy that was very similar in looks to our old dog. I thought moving on to a new dog helped me the most it might sound mean but there is nothing you can do to bring that dog back and moving on all though its really hard is the only thing you can do

I'm so sorry. I know what you are going through. When I was little my cats were put to sleep and it was so sad. Think of it this way, Jefferson is in a better place now. Right now he is in doggy heaven thinking of you and watching over you. Although he is no longer there physically, he is there in heart and spirit. Stay strong! Whenever you see his hair, just think of all of the giid times you've had with Jefferson!!

He was sick and now he is at peace. That doesn't help a whole lot but maybe a little bit. I know what you are going through, my old dog died a couple of months ago. He couldn't see anymore and had to be helped up and down the stairs but I still miss him a lot. :(
It does get easier. They are so much a part of your family aren't they? And such good friends. I have actually gotten more upset over a pet dying than some people I've known. I think its because they are so loyal and good to us. We never doubt they love us. One day when you feel like it, maybe you can get another dog. Jefferson would probably like knowing that you've given another dog a good home. :)

hi... i'm sooooooo sorry to hear that.. it really does suck when animals die. my cat died of a brain annurism about 3 weeks ago and like a year ago my mom ran my dog over with the car.. it's like the hardest thing ever to have to go through that. especially when your close with your animals .. next time you wanna cry over your dog.. smile and think about all the fun times you had with him...make a book of like all the pictures and things you have with him... his old coller... anything you can find.. it's fun to look at and brings back all sorts of memories!!! it's sad now. but i'm sure it's better where he is now, no more suffering...
=-) hope i helped.. briana

I wouldn't think about the last couple days of his life. From what you just described, it couldn't have been the happiest memory you have of him.
Ten years is very old for a Great Pyranese. Ten years is also a long time to have a dog, especially when your young.
I recently had to give up my Rottweiler that I had for seven years (since 14). For the past year or two, I took him from my mother's home because she couldn't care for him anymore, and he became "my" dog even more. He went with me everywhere, and always stared at me when there was a room full of people.
It was extremely hard to give him up, but the only thing helping me is knowing that he's better off now. For me, I know that he's alive and well, living on a farm with an older lady who stays with him 24/7, as opposed to a college student who goes to school full time and works part time. After 4 months, I still want to cry every time I see something that reminds me of him. He was my puppy and always will be.
Anyway, the advice to get a new dog should not be followed at all. When you feel like this, you will not be able to give a new puppy the care and attention that it deserves.
After I had to give up my dog, I had to watch my friends dog for a week, and everytime I had to walk her dog, I would cry. Simply because I wanted my dog back. My dog was much cooler than my friends dog, and it wasn't fair that I couldn't keep him, yet she keeps her spoiled dog...
Anyway... The only thing keeping me going is knowing that my dog is in a better place. You should be thinking about that. I know you want him back, and wish he could have stayed for another ten years... but he's much happier where he is now, as opposed to where he was the last two days of his life.
You gave him a happy home for ten years, and now it's his time to go.
Good luck, if you need anything else, just ask.

Hey, I think you are the one who answered my question? I totally know how you feel. I had my dog for 7 years when she died, which is really young, and so is 9 1/2. I was really sad and cried for the longest time. What really helped me is just talking about your dog with friends and family and just sharing the memories and pictures that you have. It really does help to cry, it gets it out of your system. This happened recently, so it's going to take time. My dog died Feb. 4, and I'm still sad, but I don't cry as much. Time is a good healer. It will help you to know that he is in a better place. Here's a link to the cutest video I've ever seen: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It's about losing a pet and where they are at now. I will be truthful about this, it WILL make you cry. Every time you watch it, lol. But you have no idea how much it helps. But what mostly helped me, was hanging out with my friends. They made me feel better and helped me forget about it for awhile. Again, I am sooo sorry about your dog, and if you want to talk, I would be happy to talk to you about it, because I know exactly how you feel. It really sucks to lose a pet, and you are not alone. Feel free to IM me, my sn is x HappyBunni16 x. Or email me at salty227@comcast.net. Hope to hear from you soon. Love always, x3 Erin
P.S. Another thing that really helped (I don't think it's free though, sorry) is this lady, (she has a website) who is like the Pet Psychic (if you've ever seen that on Animal Planet) and she can apparently talk to your pet for you and tell you how it's doing and everything. There are actually many different ones you can go to, and many will actually have a phone session with you, and for us, we literally waited for only an hour. It's very comforting. It's like you're talking to your dog. Good luck with everything, I hope I helped.

This is just me but I don't think pets are really worth anything..but this Jefferson meant alot to you and pain takes time to heal. Just cry your little eyes out until u just cant cry no more.

This happened to me to. I understand how u feel. Everyone gave me the same advice get a new pet move on it was a silly pet. But it doesnt work that way. My best friend has been dead for exactly 5 months and i still cry everyday just try not to think about it thats what works for me. I loved my pet too!!
love ya babe

So you named your dog Jefferson? Well, Jefferson is in doggy heaven now, eating anything and everything he wants, he loves you. Life goes on.

I understand how you are feeling . I would feel the same way , if I were you I would try and move on. When u start to think about him think of happy memories . Memories of the loved ones never fade , Remember that .
