flexouk Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 On Saturday I had to have my lurcher put to sleep. This might sound a bit wet but I'm lost without her. All the years of me moaning about her smelly bed and the wet paw prints in the house seem like nothing now. What do you do at a time like this. Buy something to remeber the dog by or get anouther dog? Has anyone else had this, what did you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Bad news, time is a good healer. Get yourself another dog, but don't rush into it. All the best, SSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade695 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 sorry to hear of your loss, it must have been for the best though. we lost our bitch bordeaux at 10 months but had to get another one, as we all were in bits, but we haven't forgot her.

Fisherman Mike Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I was only thinking last night about my Cocker Robbie which I lost to Lymphoma 18 months ago. Having him put down was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Not only was he a family pet brought up with the Kids, he was my closest companion and quite the best dog Ive ever had. He was cremated and buried in a casket in the garden with a flowering cherry planted on top of him. The loss is not dissimilar to losing a Human family member some say it is worse ! If you can afford the time to it, get another, Consider giving a home to a rescue you will be doing both yourselves a favour and really honouring the memory of your beloved Lurcher. As SSS said though give it some thought before you commit. All the very best. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexouk Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think my wife will agree with your comments about giving it time. I was all ready to dash out and get the nearest available dog, she wants us to wait as we have a young baby so wants the right type of dog. My dog was called Rosie so I think I might get a rose bush to go in her favourite part of the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Fudd Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 im sorry to hear that. everyone always says get another dog, but make sure youre doing it for the right reasons, you dont want to be getting a dog to "live up" to the old one, i still havnt got another one after arnie, but will be soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplex Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 As others have said it's a difficult thing to deal with, I think rushing into getting another dog can cause resentment if your not ready for one...waiting and giving it some thought would be wise. Keep your chin up, it will get easier with time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
