Im 22, and my dog who we have had for 15 years, died saturday. She has been with me everyday since we got her, she was my soulmate and best friend, i have dreaded this day for months, and now it does not feel real. I still hear her and see her, im just waiting for her to walk through the door with her sweet little tailwag and ears tucked back, but i know im never gonna see her again and its killing me. I feel so empty and lost, right now life feels hopeless, like i will never get over it, i know things will get better someday but right now i feel like it never will. I know that it has not been long and its good to let your feelings do what they are supposed to. But i need something to take my mind of it, its all i think about no matter what i do, i have family to talk to but nothing helps. I guess this is more of a vent rather then seeking help. I feel with every single one of you people in this community, and pet loss is damn near the worst feeling i have ever felt. Hug your dogs, and praise the sweet years you do get with them. I was really lucky and i know not everyone is, but damn it kills me everyday.
