Losing My Dog

[KC 71]

Is it just me or does it just brake your heart and cry 

Last wk i found him gone

I slept outside of a bar - shutters down

he would not leave my side

my step daughter came in the pick up to take me home

he jumped in  the drivers seat

we made merit at the temple with bottles of water in the pick up

he jumped in and wanted to help with the proceedings 

he was a soi dog and lost lots of teeth for biting tyres as the cars went past

i miss him so i do x

[internationalism]

get some puppies, young adults, 2 for companionship (when nobody home they wont feel lonely). Train them. 

Small size, so they can seat on a lap or on just one car seat. That unless need a large dog for protection of property.

Small dogs can live up to 20 years, larger size just 10-15 years.

Get them free from temple or from a breeder (from some 3k).

Check with the rest of family what are their needs, expectations, so dog/s will become part of family.

Do all vax on time. Don't keep dog on a leash, even more so on a chain. Let them run free in enclosure and house

Its not just you i lost my dog a few months ago. I had to put him down as he was suffering 17 years with him from puppy on. Yes it hurts.

There's a couple down my Soi you can have for free mate, might get a decent nights kip with them gone.

There's a few down the road from me you can also take home,  kids and the elderly will appreciate you if you take them as they will be able to walk and ride a bike around safely like in a normal street without being attacked.

make merit big and clear up ALL the soi dogs in Bangkok. Everyone will love you so much if you do.

Deepest sympathies, know how you feel.  A dog lives long enough to break your heart.

Never shed a tear for the loss of my parents or a close friend, but cried like a baby when I had to put down my dog of 15 years.  A  dog can get into your heart in a way people can't.

I second that. I was going to write something similar but you said it well. 

[Yme]

Depending on your age and health consider a rescue dog from one of the shelters/ NGOs.

Unfortunately, soi dogs are not a good emotional investment. They can be run over by vehicles, killed by other dogs in a pack, or get infected with STD's that are passed around freely.

I've had two, I've given up. One disappeared, the other had to be euthanased after acquiring an STD that morphed into cancer.

Dogs are social animals. Keeping them from other dogs is virtually impossible, ours was jumping six foot fences. And I'm not into chaining them up 24/7.

Sorry for your loss, but it is what it is.

I've had a soi dog for 8 years since a pup, he's a homebody, never ventures out unless I take him on a lead, and he doesn't like socialising with other dogs.

Fair enough, I'm just recounting my experiences.

Have you had him neutered? IME, male dogs will travel from miles around if there is a bitch on heat.

[sawadee1947]

No wonder if you chained your dog like that.

He made a runner.????

No, he's never been neutered, he's never tried to escape even when another dog is on heat, but he does get a bit moody and goes off his food for a few days.

Yes, it hurts when they have been part of your life for along time, I lost my dog 18 months ago

[khomlong1]

Lost my dog  (shiih tsu) early this month.  She was a lovely friend for 16 years. Leaves an empty feeling in my heart.

[Neeranam]

Sorry for your loss, I lost my dog last year.

I have two Shih Tzus and they are such a joy that losing them would break my heart.

Its one of the hardest things to watch and experience but this is life. Have to focus on positives, how wonderful their life was and how much love they have brought into your life.

 

May be its me or may be its silly, but i have seen way too much death in my life and not only animal but human also. I found peace in temple.

 

Make a merit, bring some dog food to temple as an offering to feed all the dogs in their care and ask monk to make a prey for the dead. 

 

Made me at peace, saving another pup from the street also helps

KC 71; sad reading your topic. I know what you feel. ????

[Tropposurfer]

Read a post the other day on another platform. It was from a child to adults. He said to them; 'Dogs don't live as long as humans because they don't have to learn how to love, they already know when they are born. Humans have to spend a long time learning how to do that'.

Guilty as charged.
