About 3 weeks ago, A swallows nest at the side of our house fell down due to heavy winds and rain. 3 little baby swallows fell onto the ground. One little guy died
me and my family decided to take the other 2 and put them in a box, feed them worms and try and raise them until they could grow up and fly away (vets advice). We named them ben and jerry.
My little sister (age 10) was in love with them. Then, jerry died. It was preety devastating but we knew that we had to work harder to keep ben alive. Then, the next day, we found ben all disfigured in the box and he had died.
I have never seen my sister cry so much as she had done that night. We have a picture of them in a frame hung up on each of our bedroom walls now. They were preety much like family for the while that they spent with us. We were obsessed with them, bringing them outside so they could get some air and sunshine.. Ill stick up pictures of the little cuties if i have any on my camera.
RIP ben and jerry. X x X0 -

We were all destroyed when he died.
He was a perfectly healthy dog, but one night he got a fit out of the blue (i only thank god that he slept in the house and my daddy was woken by the noise). He seemed perfect after this first fit but my parents took him straight to the vet anyway... he saw 3 vets in 2 days and was eventually admitted to a clinic where he spent a week. Unfortunately there was nothing that could be done to stop the fits and he was put to sleep.
I'll miss him & love him forever & would give anything in this world to bring him back.
Such a beautiful dog
i wouldnt know what to do if it happened to me ..0 -

he was so playful and happy untill a neighbours child let him into her garden to play. the child forgot to put bubbles back and ya he ran onto the road and was hit by a 4x4. he had no chance poor little bubbles.
ill never forget coming home that eveing so looking forward to seeing bubbles and going for our evening stroll only to be met by a weeping child, apologetic neighbour and my BF looking very pale. my whole world fell apart on hearing the devasting news.
BUBBLES MY BUBBLES...DEAD.:(
my irreplacable bubbles.
oh how i miss him dearly.
eventhough i own and love my boxers and my yorkies dearly not a day goes by when i dont cast a thought to Bubbles. i sometimes imagine how happy he would have been playing in the field with the others.
i cant even contemplate ever getting another king charles, i believe the circumstances of his death made it harder to accept.
some may laugh but only a true animal lover would understand.
i will post pics if i can.
"Dead but never forgotten..."
RIP MY PRECIOUS BUBBLES.

Oh my god, this whole thread is devastating but things like that are just horrible. I am so sorry. 0 -

Hi guys its been ages since I posted here - sadly I have sad news this time.
Some of you will remember me - I am Mrs Bond-007 aka Faye.
On Saturday we lost our beloved big bad boy cat Henry.
Henry was a feral cat that we finally trapped with a cat trap (we borrowed the trap from cottage rescue) On the day we were going to take the trap back we got Henry! Its a good thing too as he had a snare caught around his waist.
So a trip to the vet & he was neutered & his wound was treated - thankfully the wound did not require stitches!
We released Henry & he came in every night to be fed - he was very nervous - but started to head butt my hand if I was too slow serving up the dinner! Eventually I was stroking his head - I said to Mr Bond if I get him to purr he will be mine! The first time he purred was great! So great the next night he was on my bed purring & enjoying cuddles! Henry turned from a wild rough tough man to a soft cuddly giant with ripped ears & a scar around his middle - he turned into Mr Bonds baby!
He will be sadly missed! RIP Hen Hen we love you heaps!

Ah SarahJ that's awful
It's hard to know what to do, 14 years with you is such a long time. We lost our dog around the same age, when I was 15, it was heartbreaking, I just cried, I wasn't there when she was put down so I never got to say goodbye either so I know how you feel.
It'll take time for it to sink in properly, you have to remember when you go home they won't be there to greet you and that can be so upsetting when you forget.
You can get out photos/vids of your dog and watch them and say goodbye in your own way. I'm not religious in any way, but, I would talk to a photo or something, tell them I miss them, tell them everything I would have said given the chance. It can be a release to even say stuff outloud.
I know some people might not understand the loss of a dog is the same as the loss of a family member but it's hard, so if you're struggling at work maybe just mention to your boss that you're sorry if you're a little out of it this week but you have lost your dog.
And read through these posts in this thread, there's some lovely things said.
You can post up pictures of your dog if you like, or tell us funny stories about them, it's always nice to share that kind of thing with people who care too 0 -

Poor Hamond (and all the other animals) I was in tears looking at this pic, he looks so small and lovely. Did he ever get to grow up or was he still a tiny kitten when he was taken away. (I'm still in tears writing this)
He didnt have a care in the world, he got kisses and cuddles all the time, as horrible as it sounds, he quickly became the number one cat in the house.. beating out my 13 and 14 year olds, they kind of jsut do their own thing!
Last pic taken by 6th a week or so before he was killed.... What a handsome man he was.... i miss him so much still.
