Another dog dead

This morning was actually going pretty well. I had gone over to my buddy Jeffs house to set up for what was going to be one big ass barbeque. At about 11am (PST) this morning, she called Jeffs in a panic. Our dog Haley which we've had less than a year ran out of the back yard and when my wife found her she was stiff as a board. There was no blood so it didn't look like she got ran over or anything, but something was seriously wrong. So I told her since we have no funds until the second, to go over to the vet here in Lakeport and set up a payment plan.

I continued going about what I was doing, and then after about a half hour I had to make a trip to the john. I was in there and got done when I realized there was no TP. I came out to get some more and that's when I saw my wife sitting in the chair bawling her eyes out. I came over and asked what happened. She said that the dog actually did get ran over on the lower half of her body. Her hips were broken and the spine was actually seperated at the hips (which explains why she wasn't yelping in pain, she couldn't feel down there). So in the end our dog had to be put to sleep.

So, now I know that I'm gonna have to get a new dog since this one was actually a Christmas gift for my wife last year. The only thing that sucks is that I would figure that with my wife at her age, she wouldn't be so broken up about it. I mean with the way I was raised, dogs and cats were there as companions. And yes it did suck when they died, but when all is said and done you can move on and go out and get another one if you need it. I dunno, I guess some people just get themselves more attached to animals than they should.
 
Beefy... that sucks. It's very very easy to get attached to animals in a short time span, especially dogs. I don't fault your wife at all.

Sorry bout the dog, man.
 
I am attached to my dog. Mayzee.

I understand you and your wifes loss, some people just get more attached than others, I hope the best for you.

If I lost my dog I would be very upset. Which is akward, I know, but my dog is one of the only things I worry about on a daily basis.
 
In the Bronx, I had a customer that came in everyday with her little dog. No matter how many times she was told not to bring a dog into the store, she would come in with the dog in her arms or in her bag. What can you do? She's an old lady and was scared someone might steal that rat on steroids.

One night, the police and emergency response team came up the block with sirens blaring. Fire-trucks, police cars, and then the inflatable landing pad was set up. A crowd gathered and of course, there was a dumb-ass yelling, "Jump, jump!" There she was, on a ledge 6 floors up, ready to end it all. They managed to talk her out of jumping, much to the dismay of dumb-ass.

The next day, I found out that she was despondent over the death of her dog. The old lady had grown children and grand-children, but the dog provided her the sense of being needed and constant companionship. Pet owners, especially the elderly, can treat their pets as their own children.
 
I get real emotional over animals. They are so much better than people sometimes. They always love you, are always there to snuggle, and they are always your friend.

As much as my Chihuahua is an annoying little bitch I would be real upset if she died.

I've seen several older women with their little dog friends. This old lady used to ride her bike with her dog in the front basket with a bonnet on it's head.

I'm sure there are many more people like your wife who would be devestated if they lost their pet. Don't be too hard on her.
 
I'm really sorry to hear that man, losing pets is really painful and I've experienced it before. But you are right, you move on and accept the loss once you get through the pain. I hope they find out whoever hit it and run. I hate fuckers that do that, that hit animals that are dear companions and then just speed off and pretend that nothing happened. They should have at least come up and apologized sincerely and deeply for fucking over the poor thing.

Anyways back onto a positive track...I hope your wife is feeling better and less sad, and I hope that you aren't feeling incredibly upset or anything though it would be understandable. My sentiments to you.
 
Damn Asian drivers. And don't say that I'm racist, I'm S. Korean for goodness sake. Well, accidents DO happen, so yeah. And it is very hard not to love an animal that you've had for such a period.
 
I know how you feel, Beefy. It was the same way for me when I witnessed my cat Precious get hit by a car. I let her out of the house for five minutes, because she would normally use the restroom outside...

Sorry to hear the loss, though.
 
Dang it. I'm not being hard on my wife at all. I was consoling her for almost 10 hours yesterday (fuck the BBQ), not scorning her for being so sensitive. I love her with all my heart and I can't stand to ever be upset with her over just about anything. All I said was I have a hard time understanding why some people get so emotional over animals, JEESH!
