The Dog Lover Thread

[Eddie]

So sorry to hear this. Unexpected loss of a companion can be tough.

I'm pretty sure most dogs go to heaven - not sure about "all". But it sounds like Lucy is the kind of dog who will be there to me.

[clackamascoug]

Tough to hear KL - sorry for your loss - hope you're OK.

Hope you sue the hell out of somebody.

There is nothing silly about dog grief—that is so sad and I am sorry you are going through this. I am confident there is a heaven and you will meet Lucy again.

[PaloAltoCougar]

I have no words of comfort, KL, other than to say I genuinely feel your pain. I also can't (and don't want to) imagine an afterlife that doesn't include our Louie jumping all over me, excited we're heading out on our next walk. Down that road, in the distant future, I hope we'll run into you and Lucy. I mourn with you.

yikes, KL. that is awful. so sorry.

[Commando]

Sorry that happened to you, KL. I believe dogs are important and more than just an animated possession so they do live on.


Also, sue the shit out of the owners for your injuries and loss. That's a strict liability suit.

Not the case in many states, but Utah has great laws for dog attack victims.

I see- it's not my forte, but my limited torts understanding was if your dog bites somebody you're screwed.

[Northwestcoug]

I'm so sorry KL. Dogs truly are family. Your sorrow is real and appropriate. I trust you will maintain a large part of your brain for all those good memories of Lucy.

[beefytee]

So sorry that you are not alright KL. This breaks my heart. I am not a dog lover but can see why it would be hard to lose one. I do believe there is a heaven and Lucy is there.

[Sullyute]

If there is a heaven, then dogs are definitely the first in line. Sorry for your loss.

[Sleeping in EQ]

So sad, KL. Lucy loved being with you.

[Bo Diddley]

Wow. That was tough to read. You'll see her in Heaven. God bless.

[Uncle Ted]

Sorry to hear, KL. When my kids were young they had a pet cat that was attacked by the neighbor's dog. The cat died and my kids were heartbroken. Dogs go to heaven. I am not sure about cats but don't tell my kids.

damn, that was hard

We just put the best walking partner I ever had to sleep

RIP Otis

He had really declined over the past six months or so, so I'm firmly convinced it was the right decision, but still...

Mrs Happy is taking it really hard. He is buried under our apple tree, on of his favorite spots in the back yard.

We were able to find a vet that would come to our home a perform the procedure - thank goodness
