I had 6 guinea pigs, unfortunately 1 died due to my fault and i managed to get over it as we wasn't that close, yet i was still upset, and the other day one of my favourite ones died and i just loved her to bits, it was such a shock and she died in my arms, thankfully she wasn't in much pain when she died, but i was wandering is it worth me getting say a dog next year and making a good bond only for it to die later on, so is the trade off worth it? I am still upset about the most recent piggie but i have cried all my tears out for now, and if anybody wants to remember a lost pet or wants to get snak of their chest like guilt , which is what i had to do, then feel free to do so.
hi jack, it seems likle i am answering quite a few of your questions. there is no definite answer to this question. when my rayna died, me and my ex went out and bought our second chin, Maddox. he definetely made the grieving process easier. but trust me, and as you already know, i still get teary eyed when i think of rayna. some people will tell you it will be healthier if you give it time and go through the grieving process. neither answer is wrong, its all what you feel is right for you. take the time you need, and remember rainbow bridge. you will get through this, i promise you. you know my email so if you ever need to talk, just hit me up.
I felt the same way about some hamsters I had, but I recently got a dog and I'm very happy with him. Although it takes a lot more work having him than my tiny hamsters, I still think he was worth getting.
well dogs usually live much more longer, and as for death well its life, everything dies one day you have to accept that
Why bother leaving the house or ever meeting new people, if they're all eventually going to die and cause us heartache?
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Sadly, heartache and grief are a part of life. Every being we let into our hearts, from lovers and friends, to dogs and guinea pigs, will one day leave us, but we have to accept that and not let it stop us making connections with people and things.
Grieve for your pet - I know I will be devastated when my 6 year old dog leaves us in years to come - but don't let the sadness you feel now stop you from feeling joy in the future!
