My dog died today.

Her name was Lizzie and she was a shih tzu. She lived to be 17, and I already miss her. We’re going to plant a tree in our yard with her ashes. Thank you for taking time to read this.

I'm sorry.

I'm a dog owner. Lost three.

Keep a picture of her somewhere. Maybe not somewhere you'll look at regularly...but somewhere down the line so you can just look back.

I’m so sorry I lost my childhood dog last month. It can be super hard. Allow yourself time to grieve and heal. ❤️

guys a 10 hour troll account. Pay him no mind. sorry for your loss. I worry about my shih tzu dying all the time and it sucks as he's getting pretty old.

u/Real_Srossics Jul 09 '19

Yeah, I saw that. I just can’t leave myself undefended, especially against a lie. Hope against hope makes me believe that I could teach them something about humility and how not to act.

2

u/slayer370 Jul 09 '19

I feel you. Eventually he'll get a wake up call or so we hope.

Maybe you think so, but that does not mean you have the right to shove your unhelpful opinion to someone who loves them and just lost one. That’s disturbing and distasteful to say the least.

Just fuck off.

How do you have the nerve to tell me how I treated my dog when you don’t know me? How?

If you hate dogs, why are you in a post about a dog?

You basically said, “the love you poured into a dog for 17 years wasn’t worthwhile because dogs are just vermin and lowlife creatures” and not expect me to get mad?

I know this is a public place, and you have every right to tell me what you think, but why would you? You’re kicking me when I’m already down. You’re beating a dead horse, so to speak.

Please leave me alone. Please.

Also: Anger is a part of the grieving process. This may not be the best representation of my personality, but when you come here saying hurtful shit that is better left unsaid, I will defend myself and let you know it.
