My dog died threads (1 Viewer)

[jmp]

I agree. They're ridiculous. Equally ridiculous are threads talking about sick/dying/dead friends or family. We all have personal heartbreaks and tragedies, I have no idea why some feel the need to announce them to a group of strangers on the internet. It's all so weird.

I agree. Everybody deals with tragedy differently. I guess I'm not one of those people that needs to announce it. Not saying that how other people cope is wrong but it is strange to me too.

Some people crave attention when they're suffering. I've never understood that.

And some people just like to know someone else has in their situation before or felt the same way. It doesn't always mean someone is begging for attention when they reach out.And there are probably some people that do it just because so many other people do. I think the next trend should be when you know it's about time for old Toto to croak you should start taking wagers on what day he will go.

For everyone going with the "these people just crave attention" route, we have threads on here about everything from divorce to farting in the office to Paul friggin' Ryan. Who cares? If it makes the person feel better by venting on here, let him/her. A few dead dogs thread won't hurt.

 

[Harry Manback]

I don't think you should be allowed to start any thread unless you ask yourself "Would Two Deep approve?" and unless you can honestly say yes, don't post.

I disagree. It'd be one thing to say, "Hey, this happened. I'm really struggling here and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice to help me through this." Most people don't do that. They just announce to a group of people they don't know, "hey everyone, my ______ just died." It's bizarre.

By the lack of threads on the subject, I think I'm left to believe that either cats never die, or no one gives a damn when the vile little creatures kick it.

When one of my cats dies I'm getting my own freakin' forum. You can count on that, Gunga Din.

As far as photos go...I'm trying to decide between a Flickr slide show or a downloadable Powerpoint for people to view.

 

[fasteddie_21]

I'll make a new thread in a couple of weeks when I get my new puppy.......who isn't dead.

Careful, if you do ANYTHING nice to/for your dog, the dog police (read: Otis) will jump all over it

Yes because all FBG's post exactly what they mean and mean exactly what they post.

How about a politics forum for the umpteenth time. We've got 4 Bush billboard threads going on at the moment. Certainly worse than baseball.

Why note eliminate obituaries from the newspaper then? Think about it. If someone you knew or cared about died, you would likely hear by word of mouth. So why an obituary?Isn't it really just the family's way of saying... LOOK AT ME! I'M

I never understood why people have such a strong craving for attention, causing them to start threads declaring how much they hate certain people or at least think they really suck.

Nonsensical? So you aren't the Hoart Petterson who starts threads saying how much Jim Nantz sucks? Or one declaring how much you can't stand Colt McCoy?

Have all the "my dog died" threads you want. Just please stop comparing the death of an animal to that of an actual human being. I get that you loved your pet, but it's not the same thing.

I disagree with this. Why do we need to pretend that the death of every human is tragic? People are dying every day. Many have died while I'm typing this post. I don't care about any of them.

I'd say so, whether it succeeds or fails, it makes for a good show.

Can we centralize this into one continuous thread. I mean geez we have three of these a week anymore.

Maybe because some of the people on here use this as a way to stay in touch/communicate/express themselves in a constructive way. So when something very sad happens they use this as an outlet for support. You should just go away. You add nothing helpful or constructive ever and are rudely obnoxious.

None of that answers his original question.

To be fair, he didn't use the proper punctuation.

So this is the official thread now, right?

My golden retriever is 12. He just got a new pal in the kennel, but he's getting old. I give him +/- 7 months.

Will keep all informed, his name is Crisco btw.

What the heck...the "my dog died" threads are the only time we all get along. Why would you want to eliminate the closest thing we will ever have to world peace?

[nephilim]

As a compromise, when you get your timeout for this, nobody will start a "two deep died" thread.

I should get a timeout for what? People are calling me names I just let them roll off . You guys ##### about hondas relentlessly yet I can't.

i've never seen the same dog die twice...hint: you do not have to open.read the thread...hth...

I frequent 2 forums, this is 1 of them. The other is small enough I might start a dog died thread, this place is too huge for anyone to give a ####.

So personally, I wouldnt start one of these threadds

[parasaurolophus]

Didn't want to start a new thread and my dog isn't dead. She has cancer and I am faced with the awful question of when to euthanize. She has had three tumors removed and we have decided against having any more operations for her. Average life span was predicted to be in the 10-12 year range. I don't know how old she is since she was a rescue, but I have had her for 12 years and 3 months. She has a tumor on her neck that has been growing exponentially. I can tell it has made a slight impact on her breathing. The vet tells me it shouldn't affect her any more than it has as it is not attached to the trachea. She says it will grow outward and being a hound, she has tons of loose skin to allow for that. Still makes me nervous and I have been paranoid she would have some sort of struggle in her sleep as she is definitely breathing heavier so I have been sleeping next to her on the floor for a few weeks now.

She is still in great spirits though and still loves going on walks. Has lots of energy during the day, but crashes a lot earlier now. Appetite has diminished. We are having to coax her to eat. Bacon grease, coconut oil, etc.

Hate having to make this decision and I know it is coming soon.

Sorry to hear this.

I'm one to euthanize once I notice they're no longer comfortable in every day life. Not eating is a major red flag IMO.

However, only make this decision when you are comfortable with it.

Found out two weeks ago one of my Weims (have two) has a failing heart. Prognosis is 6 months and we can't walk her anymore. It's been brutally sad around here.

 

[parasaurolophus]

Went downhill fast. As I mentioned I had been sleeping next to her. I could tell that night she was really laboring to breathe.I sat up and was petting her. I got a bit overcome with emotion and started crying. She sat up too then, which was very tough for her. She licked me under each eye and gave me a look with a quivering face that just looked like a cry for help. Knew it was time.

It has been pretty hard around here. I practically had a nervous breakdown as I frantically was looking for some black and white photos I had of her from when she was a puppy. Tore this place apart. Literally. Throwing things, crying, yelling. My basement looks like the tasmanian devil came through. Couldn't find them anywhere.

Called the ex wife and it turns out she had them. Never been so relieved in my life.

It is amazing how old habits die hard. I never realized just how much I interacted with her each day. I actually kind of always considered myself on the poor side as far as pet ownership. Kind of felt I didnt really pay much attention to her. Seeing as I basically have to catch myself tons of times each day to not say things to her what i used to say, I guess I had a lot of contact and interaction with her. Everything from the noise I would make when putting my boots on in the morning and she would come over by me to say good bye to how when I would walk by her bed before I went to sleep and play with her on the floor and say good night.

miss her so much.

Unreal. Sorry for your loss.

 

[Papa Georgio]

My dog got ran over in October. It was pretty gut wrenching. At first I thought she might make it as she was jumping and biting at herself toward the tail. She slowly started to go and began trying to crawl toward me. I had to hold her for 5 minutes and watch her suffer before she finally died. The whole time there are several strangers who had stopped to help and all I really wanted was to be left alone with my dog.

I still think about her every time I pull in because she was a livestock dog and would "heard" me into my parking spot and then do the same as I was walking to the front door.

I think people post things like this just to share and somehow feel like someone identifies with what they are going through.

Pain is pain and however people need to deal with it so be it. Just because it's not how you would do things doesn't make it wrong (yes I know this is an old thread).

Sorry to hear. Nothing like a good dog. It gets better but I am 3 months from losing mine and at times it still gets me.
