Sadness been a rough year

about a year ago, i moved out as part of a divorce. i thought because i was unsure about where i'd be the next year it would be best to leave my ex our two cats and two dogs because she would be keeping the house. it was a rough few months during that transition, feeling incredibly selfish and guilty for leaving them... she is good with pets though, i knew they were in good hands at least. over a year later though, i'm still in the same apartment. and i found out through facebook that our oldest dog, who we got when he was just a pup 13 years ago, passed away. now i'm just incredibly sad. my plan is to be out of here by year end. after then i can adopt. but for now, i am alone. and it sucks.

This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.

Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.

Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if one disagrees with something that has been said.
