Oh, I'm so sorry hun!
I know how it feels to lose a pet!
I had a dog since I was 2 and he ran away because my dad always yelled at him, the rest of my family loved him!
he ran away to one of my sisters friend's house 3 times the time we left him their because the dog was terrified of my dad.
He ran away when i was five but after a month i figured he was happier their.
When I was eleven I got a new dog but it wasn't a family dog it was a present for me.
The first time my dad yelled at the dog, my dog jerry, the pic in my advice coulmn, had an "accident" on the rug. My dad was surprised and stopped yelling at him.
Now my dad loves the dog and he is really nice to dogs and knows why the other dog ran away.
My dog is only 2 years old but I still know how you feel sweetie.
I hope my story helps you.

I'm so sorry. Losing a pet can be so sad; espesicially dogs. Don't try to stop thinking about her. It may work for a little while but when you remember; it will hurt even more. Try remembering all the good times you had with her and try making something so you'll never forget her like a scrapbook, photo album, or a slideshow. This way when you start to miss her you can look at it and rememeber all the good times you had. It will feel kind of like she's there even though she's not. You may not be open to the idea of getting another pet and I can undersatnd why. But just remember no one can ever take Adrian's place. If you're used to having a dog though, not having one anymore will be an even harder adjustment. Getting another dog can give you something else to take care and love. Try rescuing a dog that would otherwise not have a home. That way you know that at least something remotely good came out of Adrian's death. Again I am really sorry for your loss and I hope this advice helps.

She sounds very important to you, so there simply isn't any way that you ever Could forget about her, I understand. The key is to allow yourself some time to grieve. A tragic thing has just happened, and crying is a suitable reaction. Unfortunately, you can not grieve forever. You must accept matters and find a way of adjusting. A dog is just as much a member of the family as everybody else. Things will be different, but you can manage by hanging onto fond memories. It might be devastating, but all good things must come to an end.

There is a link you might be interested in checking out. It's a very sad video, and it will probably make you cry. I think a way for you to feel better about this is to have some sort of an understanding about what could have possibly happened to Adrian. You may be able to 'see' her in the backyard, but only in body, not in spirit. This will take a little bit of belief on your part, but it is a beautiful story. The point of the video is that even though she might not be visible to your eye... that doesn't make Adrian any less alive in your heart.
Just remember that true friendship bears zero limitations. (=

Oh my gosh, I'm sooo sorry. I LOVE dogs! I got my first dog 3 years ago, and she's sitting next to me right now.
The best thing is to keep her in your heart. If you keep all of the good memories out of your head, you could forget about her (which you don't want) So think about all of the good times you've had with her. ITS OK TO CRY!! Somebody once said that if you cry, it means you are weak... but that is definitally NOT TRUE! cry! seriously.. cry. Crying helps you get all of your emotions out. If you dont cry and let all of your emotions bottled up, your gonna have a break down. and thats no good.
I hope you are ok.

Okay. When I was growing up, I had this dog named Teddy. Teddy was amazing and I loved him soo much. One day, my dad decided that we can't keep Teddy anymore because we couldn't train him to go to the bathroom outside, he'd always do it in the house. They took Teddy away and I haven't seen him / heard anything about him for years. I still miss him, of course, but it's easier now because it's been a while.
I think you should, if possible, get a new pet. It'll help you take your mind off your dog. Although I understand you'll never forget Adrian, it'll be easier if you can take your mind off her. Over time, you'll get more used to it, and feel better.
:]?

I know exactly what you are going through.. it happened to me about 2 years ago. I posted pictures of him all over my room.. it helped alot when i cried to look at him.. i also kept little things like his collar and tags. it made me feel like he was still with me. it just takes time.. it took me a couple of monthes before i stopped crying.
What helped though was getting a new dog.. we got a puppy about 2 monthes later.. she was never to replace him but fill that cap in are hearts.. we new rescueing another dog from a shelter like we did to him would make him happy... haha this is making me tear up just typing this
but it made it easier to compare her habbits to hims and stuff instead of just talking about him alone.
nothing will ever replace her to you but trying to move on is the first step.. and getting another dog was right for us and we show as much love to her as we did our last one

First off- I'm really sorry for your loss. Its hard when you lose a family member- and its the same with pets. Its HARD to get over.. and you never will fully "get over" Adrian's death.
Just think about the good times you guys had together; the fun times! If you have good memories of your dog- you might not feel as sad about her. Sure- you'll be thinking about her- but it will be <i>happy</i> thoughts. Happy thoughts are good!
Don't be ashamed to cry. There is NOTHING wrong with being upset. In fact- its very healthy to relieve your feelings occasionally. If you want to cry about her- go right ahead! Don't EVER feel like you have to hide your feelings.
Maybe ask your family for support.
Gather some flowers each week- and take them out to her grave. Sit awhile- and think about her. Cry. It's ALRIGHT!
I hope you feel better!
