My house is so empty now

Oh DD. you will feel terrible for a good while...our dogs are like our babies and we can't just pick ourselves up and move on so soon after the pain and distress of losing them.

Hope you're ok

My heart goes out to you DD it really does. You learn to live with the loss and you do love your next dog just as much in a different way, but they are all irreplaceable.

We're the best part of £100 a month to insure both our dogs with More Than and if I'm honest I wouldn't give them my business again.

Give yourself lots of time and think of all the special wee moments you had with your boy, only you will know when you're ready to home another fur baby. I'm sure there's a special wee dog out there meant for you to love when you're ready.

I know, I've lost dogs/pets before and I'm the same everytime, I keep thinking I don't know why we put ourselves through this pain and misery. Then I remember, its because of all the no strings love and companonship they give us, the unending loyalty, they are always there to comfort us no matter what.
I'm going through the stage at the moment though of longing for another dog, for company in this empty house, to greet me when I come in and share a cuddle and then thinking I can't have another, really can't put myself through this pain yet again.
My mind is in a turmoil, I can't think straight. I'm sitting here in floods of tears all the time. He was all the family I had, my best friend and now he's gone.
Someone rang me soon after it had happened and said, as you do, "Are you alright?" I told them that I wasn't and why, they just said, "Oh well, never mind" and carried on the conversation. I was stunned, I wonder what they would have thought if something had have happened to one of their children? My dog is my family just as much as their children are to them. They even have their own dog but obviously don't think that much of it.

My old lad's insuance was much more than I could afford but I would have given up everything to keep him safe.

I love your signature by the way!!

Some people are just so insensitive. I had a neighbour look at me as if I was mad when my old dog had just died and she said "well, can't you just get another one then?"

I felt like punching her

DD i havnt posted on this thread, but you know my heart is with you. Like many have already said, it takes time, and yes I still miss my Teeg, and I shed many a tear ( I am now). But it does get better. little Olie is helping, and no he isnt a replacenment he is a new friend who has already snuggled himself into our hearts, and so the circle continues. xxx
