I just found out some bad news.....

After enjoying my birthday on the 22nd (sunday) sometime during the night between 22nd and 23rd (monday), my dog died. I was only informed today, nearly a week later.

It seems he was suffering from infections for several days and came close to death on several occasions. The doctor was in almost every day and gave Anti-biotics. He briefly became better, before getting worse, and finally succumbing to it during the night.......

I dont know what to do next........somebody shoot me, so at least I can feel something.

BANG!

My sympathies, Singh. Losing a pet is very much like losing a close friend. Sure, they're not technically human but they do take up a portion of ourselves that is usually reserved for our family and friends.

I know it's cliched, but remember the good times. Be thankful for the time you did have together and always be aware that you gave him the best life you could. He's free of the suffering that his illness caused and will rest in peace as long as you remember him.

I know what you feel.

I started to read this thread thinking it was something actually serious. I want my money back!

[Fineus]

Levyathan, shut up.

The hell I will. His dog died. He doesn't know what to do next. If you can't spell 'overreaction', it's not my problem.

Oh, wait. My Tamagotchi also died recently.

[Fineus]

Tamagotchis aren't real living things, if you can't show some ****ing compassion then find yourself another forum.

I am not joking.

[Levyathan]

At what point, exactly, do you draw a distinction line between two entities which, even though they exist, have no consciousness of themselves?

[Solatar]

The point where the admins say so...usually works best...

EDIT: sorry to hear about your dog, we have a 13 year old one and she looks to be going pretty soon as well.

[Fineus]

If you want to debate consciousness then start your own thread.

Singh here - if he's going through anything like what I went through when I lost a dog - does not need your lack of sympathy. If you've nothing better to say than "so? I don't care" then do him, me and everyone else who feels his pain a favour and stop posting here right now.

Okay! I'll be waiting for your answer.

I know what it's like, too. I lost one of the dogs I grew up with this summer. My dad called her my sister because we were so close sometimes. Although I won't go into detail, it was a really hard week for me. I still haven't really 'gotten over it' as much as I've accepted it/forgotten it.

You'll be able to move on the same, it just takes time.

My sympathies Singh.

[karajorma]

Considering that I haven't even had a pet since I was 6 I'm not exactly sure what you're going through Singh but my condolences on your loss.

[Ghostavo]

Same here.

[Geezer]

It's never easy to lose a friend, even the four-footed kind.  My sympathies, too.

[Stryke 9]

Uh, what they said. Except Levy and Thunder.

[Singh]

Thank you for your thoughts...

I need your opinion tho...which is better? Feeling the pain and forever remembering, or forgetting him and simply moving on?

Normally this would raise questions on life for me, but I've already answered those questions before, so im just about stuck atm.
