Don't worry about it too much. You can't waste your whole life preparing yourself for a death experience. It happens. Just spend time with her.

I just lost a guinea pig. I know it probably doesnt meet up to that but it still hurts. Just take pictures. Play with her. pet her. Take her on walks. Anything that makes time worth it with her. Just spend as much time with as possible.-trix

I have been there. And its not the best place, rele!!
I got my dog mollie when i was two years old and she slept in my bed and she stayed by me everyday. She was like my best friend. She died when i was 12 years old. I thought i would die.
All i can say is that you have to tell yourself that the day is going to come. so you need to spend as much time with her as you can. Play with her and show her that you love her. Lay with her in the grass and in the back of your head remember that oneday maybe tomorrow she could be gone. So love her like there is no tomorrow!!
And i hope everythin go's well..and remember..at least she is in a better place!!!

well last year i had my cat die, my first cat, and there is no way to really prepare for it. just spend alot of time with your dog, so when its her time to go, you loved her as much possible. and when you look back on thatday, just remeber all the good times you guys had together! that helped me alot!good luck, and i m sorry she will be passing away soon.

well i lost my dog earlier this year very unexpectantly and the main thing is spoil her and take her for walks and do all the stuff you love doing together because then the worst part is youll feel like you didnt do what you wanted to do and she could of had this better and so on. theres no way really to prepare but make sure you do everything you can together to make her happy. also take alot of pictures and videos and stuff.

I have an older dog named Patches who is 12 so i know how you feel!I think you should get a good picture with her so you can remember her when she isnt with you anymore. Play with her often and just enjoy her! Dont stress over this situation because their is nothing you can do. All you can do is live in the moment, and love,enjoy and have fun with Katie. Remember, all living things die, and Katie will go to a better place when her day comes. Also you should realize their really is no "way" to prepare yourself for a death. Just have fun with Katie for now, and do everything you love to do with her while you can! I wish you and your dog well, and I hope you have many more exciting years with her! If you need me you know where to find me! --Isabel

Well don't miss out one second on playing with Katie. My dog is 13 too and I sometimes worry about death with him. Let katie know you love her unconditionaly. And if katie does die soon (I HOPE NOT I REALLY HOPE NOT) then let yourself know she's in a beautiful heaven and she doesn't have to go through the pain of being old. Remember all the tiems you had with katie. We all die and you'll see katie someday. I really hope things work out for you and your dog. I love animals and I wish you guys the best!

It's always sad when anybody/thing you love dies, but I don't think you can really prepare for it. And your dog isn't actually that old yet; mine lived till it was 18! All I can say is that you should spend loads of time with her and really enjoy taking her out etc. Also take lots of photos so years from now you'll still remember your first pet! And when she does go, you could make her a grave or even have her cremated (you can do that to pets, you know) and have her ashes scattered at her favourite spot. We did that with my dog and it was really nice.
By the way, don't be afraid to get upset about it!

i'm sorry all i could say is to spend every second with your dog you should hug it and look at pix together if you have any with you and it and that sorta stuff i'm sorry though you could get a new pet can't ya
good luck

Dont worry about it!

Wow, that's old.. =O But what I suggest to do is to just give her extra extra loving and attention, and make possibly her last year a awseome one and just spend as much time as you can with her and look at the bright side of things.. she's 14! That's more than most dogs normally live.. so you got to have more time with her than most of owners get too =) It'll hurt alot, but slowly you'll get through it..and you kinda just have to face the facts. Sooner or later, they're gonna pass on.. I know it sucks to think about.. but you kinda just have to realize that it's gonna happen someday... I have my two first dogs.. and every year whenever they get older, that just makes me think of them dying quicker =(.. they're 7 and 8...=( but slowly I'll get through it.. and who knows? Maybe you'll get another dog that you can love just as much as you did Katie. Well I hope that Katie lives for a loooong time and that you can pass through it =) Hope I helped!!
Love,
MELii

Well, don't think about it! I know it will be sad but you will get through it. We had to put my 17 year old cat down last year and it was the hardest thing to do... but at least they don't suffer. Just treat her well and cherish your time with her! Don't think about such sad things!

No offense but this is a wierd question. You say that the dog is old but healthy. Why would you want to think about the dog death since you love it so much. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANNA THINK ABOUT DEATH OF SOMEONE YOU LOVED? You cant prepare yourself for wha gonna happen! Geese i would never ask " when my dog dies what should i do"
Sorry if i pissed u of and i dont really care if u give me a one but thats just whati thought! You cant really be madd at smeone for telling them what you think!

I wish you could prepare for something like that but you just can't. Its gonna be a terrible day when it happens and you will be upset. Just be prepared for that. She seems to have had a good long life so far. She could hang in for a while longer too. So, I wouldn't dwell on in to much until the day comes. :)

Well, there really is no way of preparing yourself for a death of any kind. All you have to do is just spend as much time as you can with her and her remaining time. Just love her, play with her, and just make memories, because memories are the best thing to have after someone, anyone, dies that you knew. Just keep her remaining time happy and take full advantage of it. Good luck with that though. =0)

You could buy a puppy and shoot it between the eyes with a 50 caliber firearm.

Well,I'm telling you the truth when I say you can never REALLY be prepared for the death of a loved one.Although my mom was very sick,I was shocked when she died this January.

Hey. It's always hard to loose a pet who means sooooo much to you. You just have to spend as much time and have fun with her as you can. Remeber all the fun times you had with your dog. I'm sure you'll never forget her. We recently had to put my 16 year old cat to sleep because he was sick, he was my first cat, and yes, i was sad but i thought about it, and i'll always remember him. Good Luck.

Don't dwell on her dying. Enjoy her and have fun with her. Just because she's old doesn't mean she's gonna' die soon. The most I would maybe think about is what you want to do with her when she dies. Like maybe you want to have her creamated or something. But even that can be thought about when something does actually happen to her. Just don't worry or think about this too much. I know it crosses your mind as your pet gets older, but just make as many wonderful memories with her as you can, and keep on loving her like you do.

hi, my dog died a year ago, and i was terriblly upset...i was gone for two days without saying goodbye, so what you need to do is not worry about death, just play with her as much as you can,don't leave her for a long time,it would be upsetting if she did die when you were gone, baby her, give her lots of loving. She might not pass as soon as you think, might be a long time. Just show her you love her. and when she does pass, just make like a scrabbook, and when you feel a lone or sad or just wanna remember good times you can look at her. well i hope i could help you!
