Life When a pet dies, do you get a new one or wait a while? - Page 3

I haven't had a dog in 3 years. So I guess you could say I've waited. I think it's weird to immediately replace a pet after one dies. But, to each his own.

My Airedale Maggie died three years ago. She was an abused rescue dog that I got when she was 18 months. Turned into the best dog ever. I think I'm ready for another but it took this long.

gotta wait awhile unless you get a completely different kind of pet

Lost my ole Boog dog couple years ago this weekend .. family got me my bulldog in october that year .. he's not like Boog but he's still a neat dog ....

If you lose your dog you replace it right away. Who gives a shit if its a cat though.

ive had many good ones. If i lost my once in a lifetime dog id be crushed. Id give it as long as it took to find another one.

If you do get another one soon; Don't feel guilty. You shouldn't. You provided a good home. Took it to the doctor. Fed it everyday and loved it dearly.

We took him for every appointment. Had just registered him for his AKC and even took him to Sonic for cheeseburgers after every shot. Sometimes we took him for icecream.

Given all of your drama and health issues, i'd think a new pet would be the last thing you need right now.

I disagree. Pets have been proven to release stress, blood pressure. Of course you have to like animals to get the enjoyment unlike those on here who express their distaste for our four legged friends.

All my pets now live in a fish tank.

If they die I flush then replace them...

memyselfI · 07-06-2010, 02:48 PM

We've done both. Neither is the 'right' thing to do. You will know when the time is 'right.'

Anyone in need of a friendly lovable cat?

Shes been spayed and front declawed.

I've had both dogs and cats growing up. Living on a farm, I've actually had quite a few different species of animals around, horses, goats, rabbits.

As for the dogs and cats the majority were from assholes who dumped them up and down our country road. All have turned out to be great pets with unconditional love.

The curse has been the country road though. I've buried countless animals because they ventured out and got hit by passing cars. Before too long, there will be another stray finding their way to my front porch and they'll be loved like the rest.
