Very sad...need smiles
 

My little puppy, Po, was hit and killed by a car this morning after he escaped from my grandparents' backyard. If you all recall, I had to leave him at home so I could live on campus at school. He was about seven months old (beagle/pit cross). I'm very sad about it because we got very close in his early life.

I rescued him from a pound when he was a few weeks old. He had already been picked up, adopted, brought back and had been sitting there for a while. So, I got him and he was a vicious little thing and so afraid of people. I loved on him and kept him with me every moment that I was home (which was all the time during this period!) I also took him to puppy classes to find out how best to make him happy. He turned out great and very happy.

When I moved, I left him at my grandparents' house with his "big brother" - another dog who "adopted" him in his pack. He was ecstatic at this point and was having a great time, but he was a little too smart and adventurous for his own good. This morning, he snuck out of the backyard and got in the street.

I think I'll be ok in a few days, but I'm so unhappy right now. He was my little baby!! :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Jeni, I'm so sorry!

Just imagine him chasing my fat bunny around in pet heaven.

I'm sorry

:( :( :(

Jeni, I'm so sorry about your puppy. Please accept my sympathy, our pets are truly part of our families.

I'm sorry about your puppy Preciousjeni...

So sorry about your puppy.

I'm so sorry {hugs}

Remember, though, that although his life was short, he spent the greater part of it with someone who loved and cherished him and I'm sure he was very happy

Oh no...I am so sorry about your puppy. :( *hug*

Sweetie, I am so sorry. **hugs** I feel really sad for you.

Darby and I send you pug xxx's and ooo's

Jeni...

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog...

Take time for yourself...it's amazing how much animals impact our lives!! My mom lost her dog a few years ago. It took her a while to get over it.

Thank you all for your kind comments! My dad just buried Po in the backyard (pet cemetary area) of my grandparents house where all the family pets go to rest in peace. He and my aunt were bawling, as they tell me. Since I'm like 1000 miles away, I feel a little better not being in the midst of it all. I asked my dad to put Po's favorite red plush bone (the first toy he ever had - as well as his favorite) in the grave and to make sure he had his collar on.

I understand how you feel. I never understood how people became so attached to pets until I got a dog. It is like having a little baby. I already had 2 cats but they are different, they can take care of themselves and are not as needy. Once Darby got off his leash but thankfully he didn't run. I almost had a heart-attack though. It is wonderful that Po had such a great owner and wonderful life the short time he was here.
