without my boy. He died over a month ago. He’s an American Pit Bull Terrier, passed. Here, look at him. I miss this guy so much. I’ve been on here as long as I’ve had him. You should see him. My Andrew.

I'm sorry that you're struggling. Losing a beloved pet really hits hard. And we never really get over it, but eventually it gets a little easier and you can really focus on the good times that you had. If you have a lot of good memories with him, write them down now while they are fresh in your mind. You'll be glad that you did.

They really become members of our family, and they bring out the best in us. I’m sorry you’re stuggling, and it can take time to work through.

Sorry for your loss :(
I lost my American Bulldog 7 months ago, and it was horrible. That weekend , some asshole dumped a dog at my Mom’s coworkers house. That was the best thing that could have came out of it. You may not want another dog soon, but if you do, there are plenty of rescues out there looking for a home. Don’t think of it as replacing him, think of it as giving another dog life.

I’ve had people die on me and it wasn’t this hard. That dog literally was just always there. His name is Andrew. He was returned to the animal shelter four times before I adopted him. He had mange, he shit all over my carpet in the beginning , he ate my couch, he attacked others dogs. But he was my boy. During his last days of life he was suffering so I put him down.

M y dad lost his cat of 16 years, (though honestly, it behaved more like a dog - would follow him around, come when he called and keep the raccoons away from his chickens .) He’s having a tough time too...

Hang in there, bud. Lost my pitbull, Lola, about two years ago. Wonderful animals. Know the feels.
Her brother, Brutus, is getting up there in age. I’m hoping he sticks around for a while longer. He’s been pretty bummed since she died.

Sorry, it’s so very hard to deal with. Sounds like he was dearly loved.

It gets easier to cope mate. You’ll always miss Andrew, but over time when you think of him you’ll remember all the love he gave and the great times you spent together with less sorrow.
Until then, I’m afraid it will still hurt, but know it will get easier.
I’m not a fan of the word pet, they aren’t pets, they are family, just as much as a husband or wife, mother or father, son or daughter.
hang in there mate.

I know that feeling. It’s been 5 years since I lost my Andy and I miss him every day. It’s been 11mo since Mikey (his brother) left us and I’m just getting to where I can talk about him. It is hard but it does get easier. Took about 2 years before I could talk about Andy. Hang in there, it’ll get better.

It sucks. It hurts so bad to lose them and yet I keep adopting more. I lost my friendliest cat pretty unexpectedly in June and it was awful. I found a 3-legged kitten two weeks later and I still miss Skunk, but the kitten is bonding with my dog (also 3-legged, from osteosarcoma) and it’s the sweetest thing to watch. I know you gave him an awesome life and I hope you can make peace with the happy memories and share that love with another animal or animals when you’re ready. Even if it’s just afternoon walks with shelter dogs or something.
