We brought the big guy home and buried him in the back yard. He was mostly white so we got a large white quartz rock (110 pounds) and marked his spot with it.

i had to put my 13.5 year old pure bred german shepard down just about this time last year. had her since she was 2 months old. im an only child so she was like my sister growing up.

very sad thing to have to lose a pet, as they are a part of your family.

a buddy of mine got a call from his sister last summer and his sister said that they were playing in the living room with their one dog and it just dropped dead on the floor mid activity. he was pretty crushed about it.

He was so smart, especially street smart but he loved chasing loud trucks whenever he knew we were around. It happened right in front of our house too.

Most of the time I like animals better than people. Im truly sorry. I know it is cliche, but getting another one quickly really does help. All the best to you and your family.

Still, as others have said, another pet will help - in my opinion, not right away, but in due time - maybe after a few months.

Dogs are great! I'm not much of a cat lover though.

I've have many of my dogs pass in my lifetime and it often hurts more than a close friend or family member passing away simply because of the amount of time we actually spend with them and the unconditional love they give back. Its time to move on and for the family's sake, get another dog. I would also recommend that you adopt.

I would go and adopt another pet, so that it will help you to forget.

A few years ago one of our dogs became very lethargic. He wouldn't eat or want to do anything. Usually he's energetic and runs to my dad when called. We were all worried and took him to the vets and all. I don't know what it was but after a few days he got better and returned to his normal self. We all love our pets dearly so I can only imagine how much it pains you. My condolences.

Guys thank you soooo much for your comments. I never could have imagined the amount of emotional support that all your comments have been to me. I find myself priviledged to be a part of a forum with such top notch people. I truely am thankful for everyone that has contributed to this thread and those that have shared their personal stories. The last 3 days have been pretty tough. Coming home from work and not seeing our little "lupita" waiting at the door just waiting to be petted is killing me. My 6 year old boy has particularly been having a hard time coping with this as she would sleep with him in his bed everynight since he could remember. My 3 year old girl just walks around the house calling for her "pipita" as she called her but my wife and I dont want to bring the subject up with her. I had my wife read through the thread with me and we both thank you all for the kind words and emotional support.
Iam looking for a nice picture of her to post here soon.
