My dog, Niko, died today while undergoing an operation. My little pug has been my best friend for 4 years. We went everywhere together, did everything together. She was always there when I needed her and now I feel extremely guilty that I couldn't save her.

 

I miss her already and I don't know how I am going to make it without her. I am sure that some may think this is silly, but if you had ever seen her big brown eyes and happy personality you might understand.

 

I chose to write this because I feel hopeless and helpless, like I am responsible for my little dog's death. I just don't know what to do. Everywhere I look I see her, the memories are everywhere.

 

How do I get over it...will I ever get over it

Sorry to hear about your dog.

 

I had a pet die in my arms and trust me I'll never forget that. Everything was just fine and then my pet had a heartattack and died right there.

 

It takes time.

i too am sorry to hear about your doggy =(

 

if you knew better, had a better understanding or awarness you would have done differently, so dont blame yourself. you only do your best at any given time.

 

if you pray for strength your not given strength your given opportunities to find it. maybe that is what is happening.

I am so sorry... I've had to watch my dad's dog go, and I lost my dog on mother's day this year. Was really my parents dog since I haven't lived with her for so long, but I kinda grew up with her. It was the same day my STBXW and I got into a huge fight and pretty much separated. A horrible day! Pets really do become a part of a family. It's so hard to see them go!

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Your post brought tears to my eyes. I remember when our family doggie, Bambi, died. I was absolutely crushed. Pets are oh so important.

 

It will take time, but the pain will fade with time. Eventually you'll have only pleasant thoughts when thinking of Niko.

Recently i lost a parrot of 12 years. Their our little buddies that love us no matter what. Its hard to lose a loving little soul, but think of all the happy wonderful times you gave to each other, and the happy life you gave to her. In time maybe you can think abiut a new friend, but for now, think the good things not the bad. I have since got a baby african grey. George has not been replced, but remembered for the sweet parrot she was. As for the new baby-bloody hell, its 24/7 madness! Be strong, think positive, and keep loving her.

Please, please, please do not think you are responsible. I don't know what kind of operation she was getting but if she was getting one it was because you were doing what was best for her.

 

She will always be in your heart.

It was for a spay after getting an infection in her uterus. The doc said her little heart just gave out. She gave me three gorgeous puppies and now she won't be here to enjoy them,...I miss her so much. I could never replace my best little friend, but I am keeping two of her puppies because they have a part of her in them and because I think the best thing I can do now is take care of them for her.

I know what you are going through I also lost my pet little over a month ago. The pain is still very much there. I did get a new puppy and it has helped. I could never replace my baby girl. But this little guy has helped.

 

If you decide to get another pet, do it only when your ready. Dont allow anyone else to make that judgment call for you...

Yeah it sucks so much when you lose a dog. I lost my cocker spaniel "Lucky" when it was 15. Its really hard for a loss like that. What i did was get a new dog and named it lucky jr. Weve been best pals for 3 years now

So sorry to hear about Niko.Believe me the pain is very real that you feel for Niko.I lost my canine best friend of 16 years and I was gutted for quite some time.That was 4 years ago.Although I don't feel any pain now I still have lasting fond memories.The fact you feel the way you do only confirms that you are a wonderful person,full of love.I'm sure Niko knew that.Take care!!!!

Fortunately (sometimes unfortunately) my Niko left me three gorgeous puppies. I took care of the arrangments today, getting her cremated and finding an urn...only the best for my best friend. I have decided to keep two of the pups, they will never replace Niko, but it is what she would like and I can honor her that way. Thank you all for the support...it has really helped :)

Whichwayisup....I already have a copy of the rainbow bridge and the pets "over the rainbow" poem thanks to my loving husband. They did make me cry, but they also helped.

Is that Niko in your avatar? Very, very cute.

 

I'm sure her pups will bring you much joy.

It still makes me cry and it's been 6 years since my 2 cats died.

Thank you all for the posts. I have a memorial to Niko with her picture and a copy of the Rainbow Bridge poem. It is so beautiful and it gives me new hope. Your responses have made things easier. Thank you again.
