The loss of a pet or a non-human animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence...

Tomorrow it will be 3 weeks since I lost my buddy Copper. I rescued Coppy from a jerk across the street when I saw him drop-kick the poor little 9 week old puppy clear across the yard and then run over and stomp on his head and grind it with his boot heel.Three days later they left him tied to their front porch and went to Mexico for a 10 day vacation. My other neighbor and I both called animal control and when she finally got there, we told her what was going on. She said that she couldnt do anything for 48 hours after her initial contact. I told her that I damn sure could so I kicked their gate open and went in and got Copper and took him home with me! For the next 5,303 days, 13 years and 3 months and 3 days, we never left each others side. I am disabled so we got to spend his whole life together, till I murdered him, or let the vet do it. Coppy was my whole life, he was the reason I got up everyday. I have people laughing at me and telling me to get over it, get another dog, grow up. Im in wheat Ridge CO and I cant find one support groupe or anybody to help me. When Copper took his last 2 breaths and passed,,, it ripped my heart and guts right out of me. My heart and head and stomach have been sick since June 3! I just want him back or to go be with him. A preacher told me I would never see him again. He said dogs were foul animals, they walk on all fours and they have NO SOUL'S. WELL, if he cant go to heaven, it's not a place I ever want to see. I had Copper cremated and he is to be buried with me , in my casket. We couldn't be together in this world forever, we can't both go to heaven, so we Will spend eternity together one way or the other. god, I miss him so bad.

I just lost my dog which i loved, very much. She was with my family and i for almost 11 years, before she fell in a pit and got brain damage and bleeding. She was our 3rd child my daughter had her since she was 2ish and my son had her for his whole life. I know she will be there when it is my turn, i am really sick and i hope and pray i see her. Life is so unfair and everytime we jump one hurdle life throws another to try and trip us up. You will see your dog again because heaven is all your hopes and dreams come true and your hope and dream is to be there with your dog. If there is a GOD he will make it happen. That Preacher is wrong because animals are more trustworthy then a lot of people in this life.

I'm in Broomfield and I am sure that the Denver Dumb Friends League has support groups. I also went to one that was thru Boulder County. Call your vet and they should have information on groups. Denver may be a cow town but they do have some groups that help.
**hugs**

I believe our pets do go to heaven too! They are God's creatures too, and how would ur preacher know for sure that dogs don't have souls?

There are hotlines if you need immediate help. if you want these contact me and i will get them for you.
I am so very sorry for your loss and understand what you are going through. It has been 3 months since I had to have my Bosley put down...he was epileptic. He too was my constant companion and shadow. I have major depression and he started out as a therapy dog...it just grew into so very much more. He was the love of my life. I felt so much guilt because I didn't even know how I felt about euthanasia morally, you know. But we are all here for you and will support you as you go through this horrible ordeal hugs bosley

grambodei...please please don't think you "murdered him". It is very apparent from your post that you loved him immensly and would of done anything for him. Your boy Copper looks a lot like my boy Howie that I lost 4 weeks ago, and I do feel your pain. Your preacher has his beliefs, but we live in a world with many many different beliefs. If you believe in a loving God (like I do) then I'm very confident that God has a special place for people and animals to reunite. For anyone that truely knows animals, they may not have the brain of a human, but they have 10 times the heart.
Just grieve and hang in there. You'll pull through as a better person, and if your heart was that big for Copper then there will eventually be room for another four-legged friend.

A priest once told me I would not see my Sadie girl again, because "dogs don't have souls." My reply was "Well if she's not in heaven, then I want to go wherever she is!" I TRULY BELIEVE our fur babies are in heaven, waiting for us. The idea that they don't have souls is ridiculous and only believed by those unfortunate enough to never have been loved by and loved a dog or other animal. Have you read the book "Dog Heaven" by Cynthia Rylant? It's a children's picture book, & I highly recommend it. I had to put Sadie down when she was suffering from an aggressive form of cancer. I also struggled with the idea of "murder." Who was I to choose to end her life, and for awhile, I wanted to join her. However, those thoughts came right after her death when my emotions were raw. Two years later, I still love her dearly and miss her every day, but I know the choice I made for her was one made out of love and kindness. I truly hope that in time you will find peace and those horrible feelings and memories will be replaced by happier thoughts of the days you had with your boy.
