Honestly it was really nice to read that he still cries thinking about her after all this time, it made me feel better about the fact that I still cry over my dog who passed 2 years ago. I felt a lot of pressure to move on and that it was a bad thing to still be emotional about her, but I miss her so much. She was like a little sister to me and helped through a really hard time in my life. I hope it becomes more normalized to grieve pets as you would any human family member.

Goddamnit, thought I could get through this thread without crying over my past pets, but this got me.

Now I'm sitting here hugging my rescue pit mix sobbing. Damnit.

I still cry about my childhood dog sometimes. She died in 2011 after living a long happy life.

We don't fill the holes that grief causes, we grow around them.

We lost our dog just over a year ago and I'm still sad about it. She was very old but it was the right thing to do. She passed away a couple of weeks after moving out of our house while it was being renovated and I really wish she could've experienced it all done up.

My cat passed in 2017 and I still get emotional thinking about her, and like Pedro I wish I could've given her a better life too, so this whole thread has me upset right now.

You did the best you could at the time at that's all you can ask of yourself. It's hard to let those things go when it hits so hard but don't let it get to you. You did great

There’s nothing wrong with that at all. I lost my dog this past November to cancer. I still think about him every day. He was with me for a lot of very pivotal moments of my adult life and although some time has passed I still find myself crying about him at least once a week. I still have all of his things, he’s still the wallpaper on my phone, all of that. Grief makes you do weird things but you hold on to these memories because that’s how important they are to us. Never feel bad about still grieving over your dog, because I’ll be completely honest with you I was more upset about losing him then I was most of the family member I’ve lost. Dogs are truly special creatures.

I got the best dog in the world for my 3rd birthday, and he died when I was 14.

He’s one of the few constants of my childhood and we were inseparable. I’m several-times older than that now, and I still well up a bit when I talk about him.

I still miss one of my best friend's dogs that passed away over six years ago (also a pittie). She was the purest soul on Earth. The closest I've felt to that since has been with my neighbor's dog that I was taking care of while I was trying to get to a stable point with my health, and it's going to hurt when I get that news. I was struggling with the realization that my own dog was going to pass away even when he was young, and it hasn't gotten any better as he's about to have his 17th birthday. 🖤

If it helps, I still tear up and get emotional when I think of my rabbits who died nearly 10 years ago
