losing pets - share your expiriences

Whooo boy 2012 was a bad year,

Okay, i used to have a cat named Lucky. My dad named her that because he found her outside on a cold night back in 1999. This cat was an excellent hunter, she used to climb our fish tank and have a feast. Same whenever we got a lizard or gecko. She was able to open the doors to our rooms.
Unfortunatelly... one day my neighbor found her sick on her porch, she had foam around her mouth and was breathing heavily... we took her to the vet, and they told us that she had throat cancer.. we tried all the treatments we could, but, in the end we had to put her down ;-;

 

I lost two guinea pigs, a goldfish and a hamster.

The guinea pigs were the hardest to lose, because I was young and I had them for a long time. They were called Mokka and Capuccino... Because of their coloring. Capuccino went first.. She was ill. And she had to be put down.. :(

Then Mokka went, because of loneliness..

The goldfish just died. Maybe of fat. I don't know.

And the hamster died, because he was obeise. There we go.

R.I.P all pets. :(

 

My cat, Mimi, died last year. So a week before my cat died, my mom and I went to Florida to visit family. We left our cat with my stepdad. Everything was fine but when we came back, Mimi looked anorexic. My mom asked if my stepdad fed her the whole week. He said, "Only once or twice." My mom couldn't bring her to the vet because at the time she didn't have the money. She just told me to give her extra cat food before I left for school in the morning. The next week, I went downstairs in the basement to get my school uniform (I didn't have any pants in my room and my mom does laundry in the basement) and I looked by the laundry bag. After I got my clothes Mimi was just laying there, dead. I burst out into tears and I ran upstairs to tell my mom. I had her since 3rd grade so, we had her for about 5 years.

 

So I had a cat named Tinkerbell and I got her from my grandparents and she was black and white and small with a short broken tail. She was about 4-5 years old. She was nosy and rEally sassy like she would "yell" in the hallway if she wanted attention or food or whatever. She was an indoor cat but she loved to go outside and one day when she came inside she had this scratch on her head and I thought it was just some little thing from a branch so I ignored it. But a couple days later I saw that it turned into a big bump and looked kind of bloody and infected. We took her to the vet and they shaved her and gave her shots and gave us medicine to give her and she had a cone. My family and I thought she was just gonna be all fine but once when my dad took Tinkerbell to the vet again he came home with her in a box because she had died. The vet said it was kidney failure but I think that's bs. We buried her in our back yard. She died in October of last year.

Anotha one


SO I also got another pet from my grandparents and she was a small dog named Lulu. My parents say "she adopted us" because when we first went to my grandparents house Lulu fell in love with us and waited by the door until we came back again. She loved to play, but hated other dogs. She was about 7-8 when we got her. So she always kind of smelled "bad", like her breath at least. Whenever she sneezed, she'd hit her face on the floor cause she had short legs. One day she started smelling really bad, it was the blood that was on her face bc she was sneezing a lot. So i decided to give her a bath to make her smell better. But that didn't work because her face was cut bad and infected. We couldn't take her to the vet because we knew they'd just put her down because she was so old so we just let nature take its course. We'd give her little pills every once in a while to make it so she wasn't in a lot of pain, but just one day me and my family decided to put her down because she seemed so miserable. She was really weak because she wouldn't eat and she peed on her bed and rarely ever got up and walked around. Lulu died in September of last year. She was probably about 16 years old.

So I had 2 pets die within a month of each other pretty much so that was pretty horrible. I still have one dog though so yeah.

 

I've had lots of pets in my life. Fishes, hamsters, rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs and dogs. Honestly, not all their deaths affected me, just mainly my guinea pigs, rabbits and dogs.

My sister and I had two guinea pigs, their names kinda kept changing for some reason. They had this weird growth, and until now I still don't know what it was. My dad called the vet but oh boy, all he did was laugh. Seems like he didn't care much about guinea pigs. They soon died after my dad called the vet :c

We had four rabbits- Patches, Peter, Doughnut and Oreo. Oreo is still alive to this day c: My grandparents looked after Patches but sadly he died last year, we had him ever since he was a little bunny. Doughnut was a tiny one, he had really nice grey fur. I don't quite remember when and how he died but I do know that my sister and I made a memorial for him. We bought Peter as a companion for Oreo. My mom really loved him a lot and when he passed we were all really sad. Just like we did with Dougnut we used a shoebox and placed drawing and stuff about him.

Lastly, our dogs. My first dog was a Toy Poodle we named Chloe. My friend gave her to us since her dad didn't allow them to keep it. Sadly, we gave her away since she was extremely naughty. Our second dog was this super cute little Toy Poodle. We named him Olly, short form for Oliver. He was only around 3 weeks old when we got him. He didn't live long though. Olly soon died because we we're actually supposed to take him away from his mother that early. How were we supposed to know? The breeder should have told us. Olly died in my mom's arms during the middle of the night. Currently, I have a King Charles Spaniel named Finn c: He's such a cutie and I hope that he'll live a very long life unlike my other doggies.
