Seymour · Apr 17, 2012

Not looking for sympathy at all - this was Seymour - he was really something special - I dont have any kids so maybe he was extra special to me and I'm really hurt - it's awful to say but I love him more that than most in my family - picked this guy out as a puppy at the Miami pound - he was on his last day but I liked from first glance regardless of knowing he would be put down that evening if I did not take him home - he had a real personality and u can see it in this pic - he was just yelled out for sticking his paws out the window so u can see he is trying to act all prim and proper looking straight ahead - really hope I get to see him in another life because he touched mine in ways I could never express

Sorry to hear that. Did he die from old age?

doubledeuce22 · Apr 17, 2012

So sorry.. I know what u mean, being a single guy my pup is incredibly close to me. Can't imagine anything happening to him.

Seymour · Apr 17, 2012

I guess - about four weeks ago his spleen started bleeding and his stomach filled up one night - my ex took him to the 24 hour vet - they wanted to put him down but she opted for surgery - his liver and spleen were loaded with cancer and the said they cut it out - he came home and seemed to be doing good - three weeks later same thing happened but he was bleeding from his liver - I dont know if u consider cancer old age or not but he was 12

Sorry to hear Seymour. Nothing wrong with feeling that way about your dog. People get attached to their pets and many are considered part of the family.

doubledeuce22 · Apr 17, 2012

Nothing beats a dogs unconditional love. Unlike people, they want nothing from us.

NickPappagiorgio · Apr 17, 2012

Sorry to hear Seymour. Mine is up there in age and close to joining Seymour

wolfie_cr · Apr 17, 2012

I have put down lots of dogs, since I've had lots of dogs

My most sincere condolences, I am sure he loved you as much or more than you loved him

His look on the pic is "darn....alright, behaving now"

Sorry to hear this man.. Dogs are awesome and better than people most of the time.

Sorry about your loss Seymour.

Hopefully this video will make you laugh, if you haven't already seen it, something about it always cracks me up:

HacheMan · Apr 17, 2012

The "tough guys" in here will laugh at those of us posting in this thread, but most don't realize that one pet can be with you up to 1/4 - 1/3 of your life and you get attached to them just as you would anyone else.

They are family.....

I too am getting close to facing this as mine is about 16 yrs old and I can imagine what you're going through Seymour because I've already played it out in my head a few times.

It's like the movie Marley & Me only in real-life.

For those who have been through it.......... Does getting a new puppy/pet not long afterwards really help?

it depends on whether or not YOU are ready for it. Getting a new dog of course its not like getting a new car if you just crashed one. It needs your love and attention and you may /may not be ready for it

for all the dog people in this thread, if you do want a new dog, by all means get one from the pound, its amazing how many dogs are abandoned. I used to breed german shepherds when I was younger and after seeing what I have seen.....its impossible for me to even consider ever breeding another dog.

My last 4 dogs have all been mutts.

then again, if you are a dog person, once you walk into a pound your heart will immediately melt with any of the wonderful dogs in there ready for a master

so....if you have lost one recently, take a look at the dogs waiting to be adopted

bigtendominator · Apr 17, 2012

Sorry for your loss Seymour. Hang in there buddy, it will take time getting over, but know you had many wonderful years with him.

snoop · Apr 17, 2012

That's sad. Sorry bud. Get a new one might help.

Thats the only terrible thing about dogs. You out live them unless something crazy happens or you get one when you're 95. Condolences, bro I've been there too and it sux. Hardest part for me was pulling in my driveway and being used to him running up to my truck and then him not being there.

REDEYE · Apr 17, 2012

Sorry to hear Seymour ! Pets are awsome and are a huge loss when they leave us.. My Golden Retriever is 11 so that day is coming and will be brokenhearted when it happens.. my cat is the best pet I have ever had and when its time for her to go, man don't even want to think about it..

Agree 100%. All of the animals I've ever owned I've rescued from the SPCA. There are plenty of animals to choose from who need a good home. It's such a shame that people don't neuter or spay their pets and they're so many unwanted animals around.

chrishansen · Apr 17, 2012

sorry to hear, seems we have lots of dog lovers around! my pit was like my best friend for 11 years! i am also a single guy with no kids so it was like having a darn kid, he had the same thing with his spleen, cancer! came out of nowhere, vet said surgery may kill him so i brought him home and he passed 2 days later! tore me up for days!

go buy you a nice frame and put one of your favorite pics in it and hang it in the house somwhere special!

sorry for your loss of a good dog and a special friend to you!

zeeman · Apr 18, 2012

That pic of Seymour does say a lot. This is why it's hard to have pets, you usually out live them.

So sorry for your loss. What breed was Seymour? I'm a fan from the picture you posted.
