MusicMan,

I am tearfully reading these posts and my heart aches for you, your wife and Lucy. As a mom of two dogs, I know the excruciating pain of your grief. You are in my prayers and I am certain that Pedro is chasing rainbows. I'm so sorry for your loss....

I am so very sorry for your loss! You are not at all crazy, you have lost a family member! Please be kind to yourself and allow yourself some time to grieve. Our pets are our furry babies and mean to much to us. Please know you are in my thoughts. Pedro was certainly a lucky puppy to have been so loved.

Sending hugs from Beantown,

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a 1 year old pug we lost about 3 weeks ago due to eating corn. She had vomitted it all up but was very dehydrated when she was admitted to the hospital. She died in surgery when she vomitted and it went into her lungs which I hear is common for even humans. We had her cremated and will put her in our backyard soon. I understand the crying and the emotional connection you have with a pet. Our other pug is doing well. She is about 1.5 years old. She sleeps with us now and is very well adjusted. She does look for her playmate especially if you mistakenly call out the other dogs name. We are going to replace candy when we can come up with the money. Its not the same without her. She was a small dog like yours, weighing about 20 lbs. She was very timid but extremely loving. I hope your devestation is short lived. You are in my thoughts.

Here is the love of my life :thumbup: I would be so absolutely heart broken if something were to happen to him. I really feel for you.

I wanted to check and see how you are doing today. You have been in my thoughts all day today. Take care.

I'm so very sorry. Our pets have a way of creeping into our hearts and changing us forever. I wish you peace until you and Pedro met again.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this, I have dogs and cats and they are so much a part of our family, I call them "my kids". I have been lucky that most of them lived long happy lives. It's so sad when they die so young.

Take care and remember you will see Pedro on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

((((hugs))))

My dog, Pedro (chihuahua) was killed by a car today. This may not be the best place to post this but it's all I've got. He was 10lbs. White with brown ears. He was extremely smart. I could tell him to "go lay down" and he would climb in his bed until I called him. He knew several tricks. He loved bones. And anytime we would take him outside to play he would always come in with a big smile. I always thought pet owners were crazy when they would cry over an animal, well, call me crazy.

Oh MusicMan, I am so sorry to hear about Pedro. I have a Chihuahua, Dixie Rose, that is just the love of my life (don't tell my husband!). I had a Schnauzer that died of lung cancer at the age of 10. It was like losing a child. I can't tell you how hard I cried for her. Just hang in there. I hope the person that hit him at least had the decency to stop.

Hey Musicman!

How are you doing now? It is ok to greive and you should. Just know that we are all thinking about you and Pedro.

RIP Pedro...

I'm so sorry for your loss, MM! You're not crazy at all, dogs aren't called "man's best friend" for no reason! When I was in high school my dog got cancer and had to be put to sleep. I was completely devistated, and I'm sure it's even worse to lose a loved pet in an unforseen accident like you did. He looks like he was such a sweetie. :thumbup:

Huge hugs to you and I wish you all the love in the world.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm a dog person also and my buddy Furio has seen me thru thick & thin, feast & famin, rich & poor...he is truely my best friend as I'm sure Pedro was to you. My heart goes out to you...

Pedro was a classy little guy. I am sorry that you lost him.

I too have grieved for my fellow mammals. Later on when the pain is behind you the love will always remain.

HI,

I had such a wonderful, loving, comforting mini dauschund who was my best friend for 13 years. I could always count on her to greet me with a wagging tail and sitting beside me every evening. She slept with me and went everywhere I could take her when I traveled. She grew old with grace. However, congestive heart failure took her from us on earth, but her spirit still lives on! I did get another mini dauschund a couple of months later. Could not stand the quietness and empty feel of my condo and he has helped me get over the loss. HOWEVER, he is quite the rounder and hyped up sorta dog that TD was 13 years ago. I forget that not only did she get older, I got older :thumbup: so having a puppy has been a shock to my quieter lifestyle. He is a sweetie though and is giving me the love and support that TD did. Bless you and your family!!!
