I lost my furbaby last week and I am devastated. I won't go into all the details just that he was sick the last day and he died at home before I could get him to the vet. I don't know whether that would have made a difference, I will never know. I am completely gutted and trying to go on.I don't have a family of my own and he was my baby.

I am also in the process of finding a new place to live. The place I am in now I am on a month to month lease and the landlord gave me notice that she needs the house for her married daughter to live in. SO I have been looking but everything is so expensive or they are not pet friendly.

I am living on SSDI, so not a lot to spend on rent. I would like to get another dog or cat soon but I don't know where I will be living. I just want another furry friend to give some love to. I have this huge hole in my heart. I have his ashes and it makes me feel a little better.

I really wanted to stay where I am for awhile. Now I will have 2 changes to adjust to. I just want my puppy back.

I am so sorry for your loss. Animals are like your child so when you lose them it hurts like hell. I hope you find somewhere reasonable to live. SSDI does not give out a lot to love on so it's hard. Maybe check with social services and see if they can help you with moving expenses. Again, sorry about everything.
Thanks for this!

I'm so sorry. I put my cat to sleep 10 days ago and my other cat to sleep 10 weeks ago. Both were very ill and wouldn't have had a good life but I still miss them, so much.

The loss of a pet is terrible. I hope you are able to grieve and that you can find a place to live where you can have another companion when you are ready.

Oh, that is awful for you. I feel like a part of me is missing. I am grieving so hard, more than I have ever done for any of my other furbabies. I think because he was my constant companion. He was my only pet and he helped me through so many trials with caring for my dad and his alzheimer's and my own health issues. He was like a therapy dog, although officially he wasn't.

I had a place lined up with a woman who had a dog but that fell through and now I don't know where I am going to end up. I just have this huge hole in my heart.

I understand. My cats were very attuned to my moods and very helpful in coping with my bipolar. It hurts so much to not see them where they belong. I have the hole in the heart thing too. Tomorrow it will be 2 and 11 weeks. It feels like forever. But I'm not nearly ready to get another pet yet; I have to grieve and honestly I suck at it. I seem to need my therapist to get me through the emotions. Maybe he'd come live with me for a while?

I hope you get the housing thing worked out quickly. My mom is my landlord so I am blessed to not have to worry about that as long as she is here.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a rule that life could only dole out one hurt at a time?

I'm very sorry for your loss. It is terrible to lose a pet. I've lost many and it has been heart wrenching each time. My heart goes out to you.

Hey, misscath. I'm so sorry about the loss of your sweet pet. And the impending loss of your living arrangements. Let's hope you'll find a new place you'll like just as well or better. And a new pet--not to replace the old one exactly, but one to be a new "friend."

Thank you. I am just lost without my baby. I cried all day yesterday. I am so incredibly lonely. Before I moved here I was caring for my dad for many years, he passed away last year and now my boy is gone. I have my sister who I am close to but I can't live with her.

I am hoping to get a kitty in a few months but only if I can get a place that allows pets. If not, then I will have to be without one and I don't think I will make it if I have to be by myself. I am just so angry that my baby is gone.
