Nah, never get another one, lost Bills half sister december 2000, that hurt so much. I've spent the last 5 years waiting for this to happen, knowing just how much it was going to hurt and I wasn't wrong
Thanks for the kind words.

Wow dude, sorry to hear about that, they become more then pet's they become family and if he was yours more like a son. I know I had a dog 8 years was hit by a car, I buried him, but it was hard to let him go after I had him in my arms for so long. It took a long time to get over but now I'm ready for another one. You will be too, not right now or next couple of days but you'll know when.

Really genuinely sorry for your loss pal.

Spent last night feeling down cos the house was so empty without our staffie as shes in the vets having an operation. Sometimes i wonder if its worth having a pet, knowing that one day its inevitable that i will have to go through what your going through now.

Sorry pal.

That’s how we treat our Staffie as we also have no kids, maybe one day later on you may decide to have another but I can see where you are probably coming from as you could never get one the same as the one you have just lost

its been a couple of years since Arnold, my Staff was put to sleep. I was broken hearted too fella... i cried like a baby! I understand your hurt and how you cant see yourself ever getting another, i went through it myself. 2 years later though, i look back on my days with Arnold and treasure the memories! I still have his pictures everywhere, and he will always be remembered, but i feel now that i could and will have another. He wont replace Arnold, he'll just be a new addition!

Time is the best healer mate. Chin up.

I know exactly what you mean there. I lost my horse just over a year ago and it hurts like hell, i absolutely dread the day i will loose Suzie (my dog) as i know exactly how it's gonna feel and it really is devastating. As Stu said Suzie has been in the vets for an operation and i spent last night thinking this is what it will be like when she is gone

Some people don't understand how badly it affects us, they can't understand how we can be so upset over a pet. But i was devestated and it still hurts like hell to this day. I have lost relatives that didn't affect me as badly as loosing my horse did.

I know exactly how you feel and my thoughts are with you

Sorry for your loss mate.....my rat died on my chest new years eve peacfully....one of the nicest rats ive ever had...i still miss playing with him. i know most will think "rat" but you get attached to your pets and treat them like family so its always hard when you lose one.......ive left my dog, who i rescued 2 years ago and shes 10 now, with friends while ive been decorating etc and come back to an empty house and its weird not having her there and jumping up to greet me. im dreading the day she goes, although im hoping that ive got a few more years with her yet, she's more like a 3yr old.

You have my sympathy and i hope that time is a good healer for you.
