He died March 17 this year, he was only a year and two months old.

He died of poisoning after he escaped our backyard, when I found him he was still alive but shaking badly; it was horrible. I was with him until my father told me to go away because he was going to try to save him though he didn't want me to see him if he died.

We couldn't bury him because it was late at night, and I didn't get to say goodbye. The last time I had seen him during the day I had tricked him into getting out of the house with a piece of cheese I never gave him and to this day it hurts that that was one of the last things I did to him.

To be honest he was like a baby to me, like my own baby boy... He was taken away from me too soon. :(

As I write this I cry...

So, is it normal?

    Thank you all for your lovely comments.

    And to all of you who think losing a dog isn't a huge deal, just wait until you lose something you can't replace (and I'm speaking about something other than a human). I'm friggin 17 years old, and that puppy was my baby boy. Obviously you've never had to take care of anything but yourselves your whole life. But I do, I bathed him and fed him and gave him all the love I would give a baby human. So fuck you and I hope you remember this when you're being judged at the heavens.

    It's perfectly normal to cry over ur dog I recently had to put my ten year old dog down after I found him seizing in my bed I called a friend to help me lift him he was 100+ lbs and I put his head on my lap and cried we took him 2 a animal er and the seizer killed half him brain so I had to put him down I racked up close to two thousand in vet bills trying to save him but in my family we have a saying when u lose one u save another so I know it's hard to get another but it does help with the healing process the new dog wont ever take the old ones place but your saving another dog will help you heal Iv lost two now one 5 years ago and one a few months ago I still cry thats normal I also have their pics on my night stand don't let people who don't understand get to you just focus on your self and know that even if not everyone understands a lot of people do.

    You know, I made an account to comment on this. This story is so sad. It is very normal to cry about, though. I mean, I cry when I see any sort of animal get die or get hurt. It is okay. I love animals so much. It isn't your fault, accidents happen. It is people that are insensitive to this type of thing are the ones with something wrong with them. And don't worry or be sad about your pup, he is in a better place now. I bet he is really happy wherever he is. He is probably running around in a really safe open meadow with other animals, where none of them could ever get hurt. I thought I would end on a pleasant note =)

      Well, you're gonna lose your fuc*ing dog. Nothing lives forever and dogs have a very short life span!

    Bless you and I'm so sorry about your little pup. You can go on a website called the Rainbow Bridge where people each other with the loss of pets. I hope it helps.

      No it isn't normal. There are much more important things in this world than a dead dog! GET OVER IT!

        It is normal to miss a life that you love. Every life is equally important none more important then the other. Truth is there are people like me who get attachted to our animal companions ,they become a part of us. And when they die a part of us dies with them and it can never be healed.

        Dog haters like you wouldn't understand but to us our dogs ARE important to us and we never get over them, we just deal with them being gone and deal with people with it's just a "damn vile pos that eats shit, get over IT!" attitude.

          Other than pigs (and even they won't eat it unless they're starving) the only vile things on this earth that eats shit are dogs. So when you start accusing others of eathing shit, you don't have to look any farther than your POS dog!

            One I never accused of anyone of eating shit and actually if you watch Animal Planet and Discovery channel as much as I do you'll find there are many animals that eat shit. Hyenas, Elephants(baby elephants eat their mom's dung in order to receive the bacteria it needs to digest the plant material it will eat later on its life),Monkeys,Chimpanzees,Iguanas(the same reason as the baby elephant), bottom feeders,vultures,jackals, wolves(yes wolves will eat shit as a survival strategy, I've known cats that ate their own shit patties, I could go on.
            Point is not every dog eats shit,my dog never touched the stuff in if when it was right in front of herm and again dogs aren't the only animals to eat shit and besides its a natural instinct of survival I don't blame or hate animals by going with their natural instincts.Sorry for straying from the original topic but I just had to make that clear.

    Yes it is normal I have yet to know what it's like to loose my dog but she's getting very old and I know it won't be long before I will loose my loving companion and I know the pain will probably bit with me all my life.You never forget them and you never stop loving them and so we cry when we can't see, hear or cuddle them anymore. It's completely normal.

    and to the one person with the only mean comment that would be like telling someone grieving over the death of another person that "Its just a HUMAN and the world is full of them get over it!" Just because you don't find dogs worthy enough to grieve over doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

    Same thig happened to me. :( I came home from school and was in such a rush to get out that I didn't even give him any attention, even when he was following me around the house.. Gosh I'm tearing up. That's the last time I got to see Kirby inside my house. Later that night he was taken to the pound because of my retard neighbors who hated him from the getgo. He was the most gorgeous cocker spaniel golden retriever mix. I cry with you. Pets just have this emotional hold on us. He was my baby. I just wish I could go back and never have left the house in the first place. :(

    Your story made me cry and i still am.I'm so very sorry for you and can relate very much and very well to your experience and pain having gone through an extremely similar experience. I will pray for you and may you find the comfort, love, solace, and healing that you need.

    Please do not even consider or regard for a moment the very cruel mean and pure evil comments by the one person who is being so purposely and intentively "ugly". Your beloved pet was not just a dog, and no you don't have to and can't just get over it. It doesn't work that way.excuse me everyone to write like this but that person is a complete and total first class and class A jackass, to say the least. What a foul evil soul. God will deal with them.
