My dog, Pika just passed away today...

Hey guys. I just wanted to say, today our family dog, Pika (a Bichon Frise) passed away. He lived a good ten years, and we had a lot of fun with him... I really loved him. He was a great dog and was always excited to see us, always fun and happy. He pissed all over the place but it wasn't a big deal, he just wanted attention.

I loved that dog to death, and I wish I would have spent more time with him recently. I have been so raveled up in school, life, etc. I did not see him as often... my granny took care of him, mostly, and I would come and visit a few times a week (last month or two, even less than that.)

I am sorry... if I don't act like myself the next (insert timeframe here) or so, this is why. I feel really shitty; this really puts things into perspective regarding my life. I realized yesterday talking to my sister that my Granny isn't doing so well, with all her stress and now this. I will be sure to checkup on her, I know she won't be the same.

I wish I could have been around more often lately. I'll be sure to cherish my loved ones and try to balance out time spent a little better. I hardly ever spend time with my Granny anymore (FYI she lives in the same building as me) and I really wanna make sure she will be ok.

I kinda saw this coming. Pika had been acting funky the past few weeks, he has starved himself and was acting... cold. sad. I knew he didn't have much time left.

I wish him the best, and hope he is in a better place. I'll miss him dearly. R.I.P. Pika Kawazoye.

Yeah. thanks, I fixed it.

@ Vulpes: Thanks man. You've always been a good friend, and a great mod. I appreciate your support.
 
Sorry bout that. Reflex action, so...

I'm sorry bout your dog. Sounds like you loved him a lot. Y'know, all my good dogs died... We were left with a real bitch [literally and figuratively]. I'm envious of people who enjoyed spending time with decent dogs.
 
Aw, man, that's terrible )=
I hope you don't have a too hard time getting over this.
 
My condolences. Like Vulpes says, we're here for you if you need us. I remember when my pet Pikachu (rat) died. For some reason the pets with the names you remember the fondest always leave the biggest void when they leave.

A few words for Pika:

Though I don't know you
I know what you meant to somebody
A friend in the worst of times
A companion who was always there

You strove to be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch him was your real test
To train him was your cause
 
Thanks guys. I really appreciate your kind words. I don't know how long it'll take me to be alright but for now I am glad to know I have good friends by my side.
 
Aww... :( I had a dog just like that who died sort of a while ago. Mine was a cockapoo (cocker spaniel + poodle). Was that the same kind of breed that he was?

I do, they have the same eyes. Shape, I can't see the colour.
 
It always sucks to lose an animal you're close to. I'm sure it will ultimately make you a stronger person though, helping you to prioritize and grab life by the gnads. Here is to hoping all goes well and that you recover from the death soon. Death of any sort is never fun to deal with, but I'm positive you'll be good.

I'll post a story below about my own dogs deaths from a few years back. It is kind of sad, so I put it in spoilers if you want to skip it.


Three years ago, I had the two dogs I had known my whole life put down. The first due to a crippling brain tumor that was causing violent seizures that were occurring regularly. They were becoming exceptionally long and much worse by the time he had to be put down. I never really knew his age. I just remember having him from the time I can remember, to a little over three years ago when he was put down.

My other dog was a couple years younger, but ended up getting really sick when my first dog's brain tumor and seizures started getting worse. She managed to get a cancer of some sort and had to be put down six months later due to the severity of the problems it was causing. We had gotten a pitbull puppy a few months after my older dog passed that did an excellent job keeping my remaining dog company until she had to be put down. We had her from before I was even in school, so I would guess that she was about nine years old.

They were both big dogs. The male was named Gonzo, and he was a lab mix. The female was named Dusty, and she was a rottweiler/mastiff mix.

The time frame for the spoiler stuff may not be exact, but I'm pretty sure it was three years ago. The pitbull, whom we named Oz, or Ozwald, is thankfully doing fantastic and didn't seem to overly hurt by the passing of my second dog, probably because he was still very young at the time, being separated from his mother and litter a little on the early side.

Shit just plain sucks. No denying it.
 
Thanks guys. Yeah, I have had a lot of people by my side, I really appreciate all of you. :)

I feel better now than when I first got the news. I hope the other people around me will hold up as well as me at least. My Dad, sister, granny, and girlfriend are all pretty sad and missing him.


PS: My sister is like, 15. Shame on you guys. :teach:

Hey, two years down the line, you'd do worse then letting her date this particular 20 year old (22 when she's 17). I digress though, you do have a wonderful sister. I can tell she's got just as big o' heart as you.

Did you see my Rebecca Black poll awhile back? Trust me, it can't get any worse than that with how people were interpreting it. I won't comment on your attractive sister though because I'm a good person!

See what I did there?

Seriously though, good to know that you're doing better.
