All About My Dog - Marimo

I cried when my cat died.

I'm not reading/watching anything or else it'll remind me of my late Yorkie...I saw 2 Yorkies in PetSmart the other day and I started to watch them.  I haven't really payed attention to Yorkies since mine died.  I pretty much almost lost it, so I went and looked at the fish.

Too far from dog right now... can't watch anymore.

In the years I've lost a few of my Basset's. One passed in my truck, and is buried in a rest area in Kansas. My other died at the vet's while we were on vacation in NY. Old age was the cause on both, and I still miss them. I am down to 2 Basset's and spend a lot of time with them now that I am home. It is hard losing a pet, to me they are family.

When I worked at an animal hospital and a pet had to be put to sleep for any reason it got to almost the entire staff there.  You never get use to something like that, not even the vets that have been there for over 30 years.

Had two hampsters, both male in one cage when I was younger, woke up one morning to one of them laying in the food bowl with no head, the other one was a good bit fatter.

Also had a cat die recently of kidney failure.

My parents bought me a American Eskimo when I was 5 years old, I had her until I was 16, we had to put her down due to kidney failure.

That's the only time I've ever seen my father cry, it was a very sad moment... Weeks before I had created some casts of her tracks in the mud, I still have them.



It was pretty damn tough to have my black lab run out into the high way and get hit right in-front of me.



Losing a good dog, no matter how old you are, is a heart crusher.

I had to bury my moms dog last year, she had raised it from a pup, and it ws still young.  Got loose and ran over, and as I got home the neighbor brought it over to let us know.  I haven't cried since the first grade due to another pet, but it almost had me crying.  I loved that dog.

Cry moar.

Skillet made what I judged to be an honest mistake- which was completely viable given the size of what he'd pasted.

Should you make an honest mistake, I'll extend the same courtesy.

Be an idiot and you'll get strikes.
 

I lost my bulldog a few days ago. RIP
