I had a hamster called houdini who was always escaping, hence the name... we found footprints in some custard on the stove one time, and never saw him again. I also had 2 gerbils, genghis and rudolf (rudolf was my brothers, what a p*ssy)... Genghis was the hard one, and lasted longer, but when rudolf died, genghis buried him in the saw dust and then got really sad, and didn't last much longer. Sigh.

I've got the best one (this is no joke, either): we had a mini box tortoise named Speedy that ran away. We left him alone for a few minutes... gone.

Hella sad, but ridiculously funny at the same time.

In my experience, the only way to truly get over a death of a close family K9 is to get another like Dusty... when the time is right of course. It sounds to me like he passed in a very comfortable place (mentally & physically). You should try & think of the positive, how good his life was, how long you had with him, etc. I now it's not much of a comfort... there is never an easy way around death.

Keep your head up

Thanks! Ya there is no easy way. Even words can't comfort you sometimes. It really is time.. very cliche but time does heal a lot of things.. I think when i move out it will help cause i wont be driving up the driveway anticipating his arrival to my door to lick me =-\. Man i dont think i can ever get my own pet.. i dont know what ill do when it passes. Not that he wasn't mine.. but he was mor of the family dog and I am gone so much i didnt get to spend hella time with him. When i have my own.. after college probably when i actualyl DO have time.. this will be a lot harder for me =\
I know what you mean about moving to a new place. I've had a lot of friends that have had to move out of houses after a death, whether human or not.

You should get an animal that'll live a long time... like an elephant, an eagle, an oyster (ooh, exciting!), a sea tortoise, or a parrot. I can just see you riding through rio linda on an elephant with a boom box strapped to it's *ss.

Just trying to break up the sadness with some humor, y'all.

Lol i am thinking of getting a bird whenever I have MY OWN place. I will get dogs n cats of course but i do want to have more pets.. I had a snake until it got loose in my house somewhere.. I also had hermit crabs and it made me hella sad when they passed away! even though the f*ers bit me all the time haha.

I hear yah, but like the old saying goes," I'd rather fall in love & lose said love than to never have known love at all." The good will always outweigh the bad. Try to focus on all your good memories and realize why it hurts so much, because he was that special to you! Like you said bip, time is your friend on this one, without a doubt...

When my pups, god forbid, pass on... I plan on getting some precious stones/Jewelry made from their ashes, that way they will always be with me, not just in memory...

+1... Most definitely, I think it could lead to bigger stray populations, BUT I still want my animals to hang around with me til I'm old too.
