Artist Comments/Rant:
Well a few days now, my beloved dog Shorty passed away suddenly.  He'd been getting gradually sick for a few weeks  but the day before he died I had hope.... he looked healthier, he had a good appetite he actively ran around with our other two dogs. So I thought he was getting better.
That all came to crushing end when my mother walked over to me the following afternoon to tell me Shorty was found dead outside.
I've never felt so crushed like I feel now. He's been a constant in my life for so many years, I always feared when he would pass away because I felt I would never be ready for a time when I wouldn't need him there.  I still feel that way, I hold so many regrets and I'll probably never let this grief that's stricken me go, because I don't want to forget him. He wasn't some pet, he was a long time friend, a friend I've had longer than most and its just killing me to look outside and not see him. 
Every time the other two dogs bark outside and I don't hear Shorty among them is just steadily chipping away at me emotional resolve. Just when I think I can last a few more hours without crying I start up another fit of tears. and then my mother thought it would be a good idea to plop a 'paw print kit' in front of me NOW. When I can't even preserve a paw print of him now. it felt like a slap to the face despite her innocent intentions. She wants me to make a headstone with it, when I can't even bear to walk outside or leave the house.
I've been listening to this song on repeat for hours and hours its just been a song that I could lose myself in during this difficult time.

I just came across this image in the "More from DeviantArt" section, and I felt a need to comment.

A couple years ago (gosh, it seems like only a few months ago still), my family lost both our dogs within a week of each other. Our puppy died from Parvo, and within a few days, our other dog of thirteen years died either of old age, or having caught Parvo as well. Though the old dog, Zeus, was VERY old for his breed, and we had thought we would be able to handle his death, we were suddenly faced with the realization that HE WASN'T THERE. We had no dog, when we had always had a dog for as long as me or my little brother could remember. He was our guardian, and Ati, the puppy, was the brightness in our lives.

It always hurts when we lose animals that have always been such large parts of our lives. I really suck at trying to be comforting, especially since I don't really know you, and I feel bad for just coming in and commenting. ^^; But I dunno, maybe it can be of some comfort to talk to someone else who's lost a dog? I hope I could be of some small help, at least. 8C I hope your other dogs are doing well! Dogs can be just as affected by these things as we are, but hopefully they can help support you through this tough time. <3
