I swear I am waaay too emotionally attached to my dogs!
well they are technically my mums dogs but im at home most of the time with them.
when we go on holiday I dread it because we have to leave them :(
Also when my mum goes out they both look so depressed and it breaks my heart!!

I am just constantly checking to see if they are ok!
 
It's coming up to 12 mnths since my old girl was PTS. I now have a lovely, lively puppy, but still feel emotional when I think about the old one. she will always be a part of me.
 
Oh totally. My dogs are my best friends!
I too cry about them dying, hate leaving them for holidays and feel terrible I'm not cuddling them as much now with the new baby :(

Yep. I am the person who took my dog to be spayed and couldn't give my name cos I was crying so totally understand where you are coming from. From the look the receptionist gave me, I don't think I was the first person to start crying as they handed their dog over.

God help me when she eventually does go to doggy heaven. Luckily, she is only 3 years old and is a terrier so there are plenty of years left.
 
No, they are dogs! I love them and they have a fantastic life all doing what they were bred to do but at the end of the day they are only animals.

Tell me about it , burst into tears as soon as i was in the consulting room, handed the lead over with snot dripping off my top lip, not helped by rebel scrabbling to get out the door with me,
He is home and milking his suffering to the full , see my other thread ' day after surgery '
 
I was, I rescued a Manchester terrier pup when I was 15, Floyd. She was with me through school, college, leaving home, a flat, a house, an abusive boyfriend, another flat, friends came and went she was my constant. At 15 she developed tumours which were operated on and removed. Its emotional for me even writing this. She went for her big sleep aged 18. We had vet booked to come out on the Monday to pts, but she died at home Sunday night. I spent the night sleeping on the settee next to her. The next day we took her to be cremated at the local pet cemetary, from her passing and for about a week after I cried, I couldn't face anyone or eat anything. It took me three weeks to get back to work I was still crying at my desk, people thought I was an idiot. 3 years on my boyf said he wanted a dog, I felt I'd be betraying her having another dog in the house so refused. Eventually I thought it was unfair to him so we started to visit the local pound for a rescue.we ended up with a Lakeland pup who'd been taken to pound by a social worker as the family she'd been at had habit of collecting pets but couldn't even care for their 5 kids. I will never forget Floyd or become so attached again as I cannot bear the heartbreak, she was my best friend for 18 years and no dog will ever compare but I enjoy Nells company and I'm happy that we gave her a home, she's had 9 holidays in the last 14 month so I think she's happy too! Just prepare for the sadness, if you can.
