Dear PRoomers... *coughtake2cough*

[Kinzer]

To whoever reads this, I bid you hello...my name is Kinzer, some of you may know me, others won't...and to some I mgiht have a good name, to others I'm wanted dead...in any case...

I want to let people know that a few hours before this thread was typed up, I had my dog...pass away...

I'll try and keep it short, but to describe him, I named him "Bowser" from all the wrinkles he had on him when I got him as a pup'. He was born in November...died November as well...he was at least 8 years old...

Sometime in '07 he was diagnosed with Ideopathic Epilepsy, meaning that he has seizures at random times... For a year he lived after his diagnosis.

Today he had seizures which was to be expected, and usually it would siphon a lot out of him, be it energy or whatever, but he would always make it out...this time...meh...

Now this really saddens me because I hate the fact that I couldn't do anything to help him pull out of his troubles, and when he didn't stop having seizures, it just took so much out of him that he died...right there...in front of me...he did stop after about an hour and a half of having them, and I thought "Oh hey he's going to be better!"... that is true... he is in a "better" place now... but yeah after he stopped having them he just started to breath okay laying down and stuff for like a couple of minutes... and then right there, he just stopped moving altogether...

My parents tell me that "we gave him everything we could've wanted him to have as a dog, and more", and I have to agree with them... he was almost like a human to us...he would come on our beds and sleep there, leaving us to sometimes go sleep on the sofa, and we didn't punish him for it... we gave him stuff that humans ate like Hamburgers, Cheese, etc., and he could move freely around the house...

Oh, but I disgress, my simple request from anybody who reads this, is to please send my dog a prayer...that he will be happy somewhere up there in Heaven, and that in the tradition of the Sonic boards... that...he has all the delicious Steak he can eat...

Thank you very much for your time.


One more thing I should mention. If any of you are curious as to why I'm doing this again, my first dedication thread got closed because some people were being s***heads and being awfully disrespectful. Now I won't be a douche like they were, and I'm not that angry enough to constantly survey this thread and report each individual post I find offensive, however you out to be warned ahead of time that if you try that same stuff the guys in the other thread did, you will be infracted. Let's see, I want to make this as clear as possible too...I guess if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all, and if you must be yourself, then feel free to tell it to me and me only, remember you're at a safe haven with me from reporting you, but do anything in this thread and other people might not feel the same way for you...

If you want to make sure that whatever you do might not be safe, just look at this thread for the examples...you'll know what you shouldn't do when you see it...

Also, I gave Kinzer permission to re-make this thread as I think it's a legitimate thread that was ruined by people who were trying to be witty and cool on the internet.

This WILL NOT turn into a religious thread, and if you come in here being an assbag you will be infracted.

Don't like the topic? Stay out.

Mate he's in a better place, and it brings me much sorrow to know that your dog went out the way he did.

 

[Firus]

I'm really sorry, Kinzer. I once had a dog who I had to have put to sleep at 6 years old -- we never actually found out what she had for sure, just one day, she stopped eating food and was all withdrawn. We took her to the vet, and she stayed there for...maybe it was a few weeks, I don't entirely remember anymore. She looked like she was going to get better, but she never did, and she had to be put down. We think she had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but again, we never entirely figured out for sure.

I would say I know your pain, but honestly I don't think seeing my dog become just sort of depressed and then lulled into death is half as bad as watching a dog have a seizure for so long and then just...stop living. My prayers go out to you and your dog.

an assbag

?

*Goes to google*

Seriosuly though, sucks when pets die. We had a scare not long ago when our dog had a severly infected liver from literally eating crap when we'd walk him to the park and let him run around in the bush. Now we keep him on a lead mostly, which sucks because he loved going in the bush.

 

[ndayday]

**** sucks, dog

 

[SkylerOcon]

That sucks. I have a dog who's getting pretty old now, so I can only imagine what will happen when I have to go through this.

Sorry about your dog, man. If you feel like ranting more about it, feel free to message me on AIM.

 

[Kinzer]

Thanks guys, but really I'm okay...it's good to know that even though people didn't know him, that they wish him the best...

One thing I would like answered though, is that why must I feel guilty by trying to distract myself from the misery? I feel like it's wrong to try and be on SWF or whatever just for the purpose of trying to think about different things, forgetting about my dog completely... It doesn't feel right, like I should show some respect for him now that he is deceased...

 

[Deleted member]

Dang, sorry about that man. At least you had him for longer than two years. My best friend's dog passed away just before school ended. The dog had a seizure and somehow got into the pool....Do I need to say more?

 

[LadyKirbess]

My condolences Kinzer. My dog was 14 years old when she died a couple years ago while I was away at college. She was my favorite dog and no other can replace her. When I was younger, the only way I could go to sleep at night was to have her on the bed with me because yes, I was afraid of the dark. We used to eat and fall asleep on the couch in the middle of the day and just chill. I miss those times. Before I went away, she fell ill and I just knew she was going to die but I tried to deny it. Its was a week after my birthday and the same day that my Grandmother had passed about 5 years previous when I received the call from my folks that she was gone. I remember her as a daughter, a sister, and a mother (2 litters of pups). I've had the pleasure of meeting her dad and babysitting one of her brothers. I won't go too much more into detail but if you want to know more or just need someone to talk to, pm me. Take care

I've never had a dog die on me, but my best friend had two dogs die from cars. One wasn't really old but had seizures and stuff, and they think that was because his previous owner, who lived with them but ended up dieing, used to smack him in the head when he was a puppy and would go on the floor. He was a nice guy, but I don't know why he did that.

Their other dog was old, and was having problems, so she lived a long life.

Even though those were my friends dogs I knew them as if they were my dogs as well, so I'd like to say I know what you are feeling, but I don't think I really do. One day my dog, now 9, will pass, and I just hope he goes peacefully.

Just remember the good times.

I think it's natural to not want to feel the pain of the death of someone close to you, but still feel like you owe them something, or guilt, in your case. I'd say if you made a post on SWF about your dog, you care about your dog and you're just trying to cope with the pain.

You SHOULD respect him, but really, you don't have to do some sort of severe depression because he died. You said yourself he was like a human to you, and with that logic, he wouldn't want you to feel bad about his death. I'm sure he would want you to be happy, and doesn't mean to make you upset. He passed away, all things do, and everyone has to deal with it. He loved you as much as you did to him, and nothing will ever change that. And don't worry about forgetting him, you always will as long as you don't turn into a heartless jerk. Just know I'm praying for him and you tonight.

Hmm... I'm sorry to hear that Kinzer, it really blows when a loved one, in your case a pet passed away, don't take it to hard, if you want to show some respect in order to honor your dog hve a picture of him somewhere on your room. (if you hve a picture of him that is), if not, always think of him and NEVER forget him I guess that could prove as respect as opposed to disrespect.

Works for me...I have one picture of him right now in my room... and when I get his ashes back from the hospital in about two weeks, I'll convince my parents to try and let me have his urn next to that picture and the crucifex I have.

Thank you...you two Dedede.

 

[rhan]

Sorry for your loss. Just having a pet makes them part of the family. When things like this happen you just can't help but to catch feelings. It's like losing your best friend...

My heart and prayers go out to you and your dog.

LOL, what makes you think Smashboard members will wise up in only like a couple hours after the first one was lock?

With that said. I think I found the problem WHY the dog died.

"he was almost like a human to us...he would come on our beds and sleep there, leaving us to sometimes go sleep on the sofa, and we didn't punish him for it... we gave him stuff that humans ate like Hamburgers, Cheese, etc...."

Dogs can't eat human food. It WILL make them sick. Dog stomachs =/= Human stomachs

I'm sorry your dog died. But next time, try to be more careful as far as food goes.

 

[Kinzer]

We were, we didn't give him anything like chocolate, or tuna, or pizza, none of that greasy stuff.

Besides...Cheese is suppose to be healthy by my intelligence...also good Hamburgers without all that crap in them should be fine...*coughmcdonalds*

And something else tells me that whatever cause him his troubles was chronic...but I'm no doctor, so I don't know, and it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway if you want me to be specific...d'oh fudge it, we really only did let him eat Cheese and the patties, anything else was unacceptable.

 

[Hobobloke]

im sorry for your loss Kinzer just remember he is in a better place now, i had a family cat which had fluid in its lungs and had to be put down but i was never good at showing emotions, RIP Bowser

 

[Cinder]

Dang...I'm sorry to hear that, man...I know how it feels...my dog died last year...he left the house one morning and never came back (he was old, and it was the first time he was able to get off the porch, so we know he didn't just run away)...worst part is, the last thing he'll remember about my dad and I is my dad making a "why aren't you dead" comment and me tossing him out of the house...my dad and I both regretted what we had done...if only Bandit had gone out knowing how much we loved him T^T

Anyway...once again, sorry about your loss...I'll be keeping both of you in my thoughts...

 

[NintendoMan07]

I know this is kinda late and you've gotten enough support as it is, but you have my sympathy/empathy/whatever-the-right-term-really-is. I've been through two dead pets in my life. My family doesn't do well with dogs, but that doesn't make it any less serious.

So yeah, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

 

[streetracr77]

I'm sorry about your loss, my dog died two summers ago.
We knew she was slowing down and that she was going to pass on soon. I couldn't go to the vet when we had to put her down. Atleast she was put to sleep, I here that is the least painful way for a dog to pass on.

Anyways, sorry about Bowser and feel better.

 

[Tom]

When my first cat died I didn't go to school the next day. I just slept in and gloomed around the house. I know how you must feel.

 

[The Fail Tracer]

I'm really sorry to hear about your dog, Kinzer. I have a dog that I love and treasure very, very much and I would probably cry for a whole day if he died.

I don't know what else to say. But seriously, who would actually act like they did in the last thread over death? It's not funny. Anyways, I really hope you feel better soon.

A couple years ago my cat got run over. Her name was Sprinkles, because my sister was lobbying for Cookie and Sprinkles was a slightly better alternative, she was black with yellow "sprinkles." So she liked to go outside and we'd call for her to come in, or she'd pop by the door and we'd let her in. But one day we let her out, and then she came back a few hours later, but we were eating dinner so we didn't let her in. So I called for her before we went to sleep and she didn't come, and we didn't see her for the next 2 days. So finally we called the Humane society, and they said they'd picked up a run over cat a couple days ago that matched her description. I feel really bad because if I had let her in that time, she might still be here..

So basically I know that having a pet die is ****.

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

I watched my dog get hit by a car. That was hard.
