I was never close to my dogs. Sure I like my fish, but I would not cry over them. I would just notice their absent and miss the way they would hit the walls of the tank.
Go find somebody who can relate to you, and make a friendship with that person...?

My dog died six weeks ago.
I've had her since I was eight, and she was ten when she died.
Advice is:
Get on with your life
Don't make a thread about it.

sorry man. it,s been half a year now since my dog died.had her since i could remember.
a beagle. i didn,t cry when my grandfather died, but i cried my brains out when my dog died.
sigh....anyway first days to weeks sure will be tough. it's completely understandable to not sleep and feel terrible because if you didn,t that would mean you didn,t care that much.
on youre question of dealing with it: well youre dealing with it(grieving). not really gonna escape from that.
best of luck

Time and music is the key. I lost one of my dogs in summer, then a few weeks ago, we had to put down our other two dogs.
If you have pictures of your dog and some of Rio's old toys or collars, you should make a shrine to your dog. It sounds kind of stupid, but it's the same thing people do with they lose a family member to try and get closure. If you go through all the pictures and Rio's personal possessions it will help you remember how great of a dog Rio was. Give it a shot, it may make you feel betterKeenanr1234 said:
My dog died almost exactly a year ago now. Like yourself I grew up with my dog and since I've lived out of town my whole life she was the only friend I saw all the time. While moving house which I didn't want to at all since I was leaving some of the first friends I've had, I've lived 4 years here and I still hate the place, I at least had 1 good old friend aorund which was my dog.
Be sure to tell your friends, even if they're not that great as friends, they should understand what you're going through and make sure that things aren't tough on you through this stage.
Like people have said on here before, think back to the best times you've had with your dog.
I still feel sad about losing her but you'll be surprised by what you bump into in the future. Good things haven't happened to me yet but a good thing happened to one fo my friends who was as hopeless as me so don't worry about things getting worse all the time. Things wil get better, I guarntee that.
Hang in there.

Always sucks to lose a friend. Give it time, and it will just be another part of your life.
Hey man, I'm sorry for your loss.
My Grandad died this morning, at about 5 o'clock. I really broke down, but I found that doing something normal, like playing on the xbox, watching television, or doing some work really helped. It seems like I should feel bad, as if I'm insulting his memory if I don't spend the whole day talking about him, but that wouldn't help anyway.
Just see if you can get some normality back, no matter how trivial it seems.
And I don't mean to be that guy that tops everyone else's situations, I just want to provide some advice and help if you need it

He means, don't cry because his dog died, but smile because of the time they spent together. Focusing on the positive times, rather than the negative endingTheNamlessGuy said:
There aren't too many "wrong" ways to grieve. Feel whatever you're feeling, whatever it may be, and talk about any of it that's too much to handle with anyone you trust. Try, at least, to remember that the reason you feel BAD is that it's the end of something that was GOOD.
P.S. There are some genuinely terrible human beings "responding" on this thread who should all be deeply ashamed of themselves.

Just remember the good times you had with him/her. Its much better than feeling upset about it. Just hang in because its so hard to loose a friend like that. I once saw my dog get run over by a jeep, and i broke down.
Give it time and you should feel better.

Sorry to hear for your loss, it's hard when you lose someone close to you. If you feel up for it, get a scrapbook or a keepsake box and fill it with photos and things to help you remember them. It's really nice to look back on it in a few years and remember the good times.
