Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or 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 that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.

I lost my beloved dog Brewster today, after 14 years of constant companionship. He was the best dog I ever had and I was so honored to have him with me so many years. Brewster got sick suddenly and I feel as if I am still in shock that he is no longer with me.
When I woke up this morning, I never imagined today would be the day I'd have to put my dear Brew to sleep. In my head I know he would not have been able to recover from his ailments, but I am over run w/guilt that if I hadn't made that decision today, he'd still be w/me right now. I know that sounds selfish and I just couldn't imagine seeing him in pain any longer.
I live alone and he was my companion, now I truly am alone with my thoughts, my grief and sadness and my reality.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Once again so sorry you lost Brewster, he looks like a cool guy.
