| I haven't lost a dog yet, (thankfully), but I lost my 5 month old kitten a few weeks ago. It's better to have a few pets, because when I got upset one time and started crying, I went out to Misty and she licked the tears away. Just tonight I really wanted him, because I got mad and upset and I remembered when I used to get him and his sister (she disappeared a week before he was run over) and they would purr and play and I would hang out with them. A new pet definitely won't replace Panda Bear, but it might ease the pain some.
 
Misty and Jaxon Heidi and Bandit
Bandit-14-16 year old male Australian Shepherd/Cocker Spaniel/Dachshund.
Heidi-11 year old female Chow Chow/German Shepherd.
Misty-4 year old female half Siberian Husky, half German Shepherd.
Jaxon-1 year old male purebred Siberian Husky.
Jazzie- 3 month old Siberian Husky mix.

| Wow. So sorry for you. I have lost a couple dogs years ago, and know it hurts. Don't blame yourself for your dog being a dog. Dogs escape, and do things that we regret, but unless YOU lifted that zipper, it's not your fault? One thing that always helps me deal with it is that I work with dogs. Consider volunteering at a local shelter perhaps? At first, it may seem to make you hurt a little more with all the dogs around, but perhaps helping them will soften your feelings of guilt? Overall, anyway, you'll just have to get through all the grieving. Whatever you do, don't get another dog until you are 100% ready! Getting one too early is like dating on the rebound  You might wake up with something sleeping in your bed one morning and be absolutely horrified that you brought THAT home... Hope that made you laugh You 'sound' like you could use it...

I can totally relate I lost my yellow lab my "baby" to being his by a car he was only one year old. I have a bag of all his stuff in my garage and whenever I miss him I go and open the bag and take a whif it always smells like him and makes me cry more but there is some thing that makes my heart stop hurting for just a little bit... It also helps to have a dog I've been lucky enough to always have another dog at home when i lost one but if you dont, look into adopting a dog beacuse altough you may feel you are replacing panda he knows that you are not! Ultimatly it is up to you what you are going to do but I know that it always has helped to have another furry friend to hug and cry on. Hope that helps a bit.

| I know how you feel I was 13 and my mom said I could get a puppy as long as I took care of it. Well my step-sister who lives in GA her friend had min pin mix puppys so I got one I named him speckles he was the first little dog I ever had and one day I came home from school and he was really tired and couldn't walk we took him to the vet and they said he had parvo and they couldn't do anything for him and the best thing for us to do was put him to sleep so I took him home and decided to spend a little more time with him and to say good bye I had him lying on some blankets on the floor with me next to him and then he started moving his feet like he was trying to run and then he just stop breathing right in front off me... Its still hard to talk about it and its been 2 years but he was only 5mths old and he was soo cute and small and I loved him soo much...... I miss him soo much and from then on I told my mom I would never get another puppy only older dogs It may be hard now and for some people It alawys will be hard to talk about but at least there not suffering anymore?????

unfortunately there is nothing you can do. you cannot go through life saying what ifs. it was NOT your fault or your friends, no matter what you may think. you loved her and she loved you and you gave her a great life and that is all that matters. you loved her unconditionally as she did you. cherish her memories and know that she knew you loved her(they always do). i would volunteer at a animal shelter and try to help those poor lost souls of their dogs. sometimes it helps with grief to stay busy and help someone(or something) else. i have lost cherished and beloved pets and it is never easy and no words will make you feel better. you can pm me anytime, i love to chat.
  I love APBTs!!!!!!
