How was your day?

My dog just died about an hour ago and I'm really gonna miss her especially when I wake up tomorrow. She's my first pet since my childhood. She passed away in my father's arms in the car on the way to the clinic.

I know she had health problems (congestive heart failure) but I didn't think today would be the day because I was playing with her fine this morning. My mother even took pictures of her this morning. She was so lively even at the age of 12.

I didn't even get to say goodbye to her when she was living. The last thing I did to her was shout in her ear to please not die. I only got to kiss her goodbye in that one room before you give the body to the clinic for cremation.


I miss my dog already. I'd do anything to see her living again. Bye Cutie, I love you a lot

 Spoiler

I'd like to believe that she went peacefully.

Edit: I can't shake the feeling. I haven't cried so hard in so long. Her presence in the house is everywhere: all her favorite foods in our fridge, her last serving of dog food, her squeaky toy she loved so much, her water bowl, her leash, her sweater, and the last tufts of fur she shed on our living room couch and all over my clothes.

She had so many cute tidbits and habits that I'm never gonna see again.

I feel dumb crying over a dog but I really loved that dog. My house feels pretty empty now.

I know exactly how you feel. My old golden retriever passed recently. I made quite a few extensive posts in this very thread about it actually. It's a hard thing to go through, and it's all very surreal. And this is your first pet too? God... that makes it all the worse.
That picture is adorable though, and I know your dog lived a wonderful life.
