Alex

I'm so sorry, Slinkydog. I had an Alex too. Yours sounds like a very special doggy.

Slinky I agree you will remember your friend forever, all the great times you had with Alex. I lost my other dog several years ago, she was only 2 at the time and I still think about her, I try to remember the fun times, having her come running and just flying through the air knowing I would catch her in mid air. It's all the great memories that make them so special.

Thanks, everyone. Most, if not all, of us have experienced the loss of a pet, unless you have never had one or now have your first one. We know how hard it is, but the love and devotion they give us by far outweighs the grief at the end. I have handled Alex's death better than I ever expected I would, probably because I know she was so old (133 in doggy years) and her little body just could not last any longer. She spared me the extra pain of having to have her put down, although I was prepared to do so if necessary. My only regret is that I wasn't with her when she died.

I ran into my vet at the store a couple of weeks ago, and I told him of Alex's death. He said, "Did you lose that baby?" He had always said that Alex was "a very senior citizen." He told me that she only lived as long as she did because I took such good care of her. That helped, too.

Slinky, My heart goes out to you! I felt about my Pitzy-Mitzy the way you feel about Alex. My nickname for her was My Soul, and she lived to 18 1/2. I also miss her sister Georgie-Girl who was quite a personality.

You have my sympathy Slinky, and my thanks for beautifully expressing what makes these little guys so wonderful and worth having.

Slinky: *HUGZ*

i know how you feel about animals dying on their own. My jr year of highschool my black poodle, who i had had since i was almost 4, had a stroke and ended up dying on her own. I was glad i didn't have to make the decision to put her down. I am lucky to have my two big dogs now. They have a lot of time left, that's for sure! lol

How do I explain to my two year old that her fish died? She doesn't know what "dead" really means, but her task every night was to help feed "dori" and last night we went to feed him and dori was laying all bloated and belly up at the bottom of the tank. Ick.

At 2 years old, I think you could fool her with a replacement fish. I don't think she needs to face reality at such a tender age.

I kind of agree. At two years old, I’d replace the fish.

We had a similar situation, except it involved our cat. Our little girl (four) gave our cat a bowl of milk every evening. It was tough enough for us losing the cat (old age) but it was hard to explain to our little girl. We finally ended up telling her that her cat went to heaven.

(P.S. Cute name for the fish!)

Dori is a beta we got for a dollar at some store. We have actually had him for a long time and since he is blue, she named him Dori, like on Nemo.....or is it DORY. Well, it is nothing now as he is dead.

Alisons, I am so sorry for your loss of Odin. It is so heartbreaking to lose one of our fur 'kids'.

I'm sorry to hear that Alisons. It's different for everyone but I think I know how hard that can be and how much you miss the little guy.

Trixie the Ocean Shores Library cat was found dead Dec.23. I just came back from the library. She was a cool cat and lots of people loved her. I will miss her.

Trixie is adoreable. She looked like a combo of my girls Bandit and Scooter. Bandit from the back and Scooter from the front!

So sorry to hear about your poor little kitties, I know it can be real hard to deal with it, after all they are part of your family.

Trixie belonged to the whole community. She lived at the Ocean Shores Library and was featured in quite a few publications. She had exquisite manners and it was always a treat to interact with her.
