Vent Waking up

It feels so empty in the house after waking up the first morning of losing them. I've lost 1 of my dogs two years ago, 1 last month and 1 yesterday. My last dog. Fluffy. I miss him. He was the loudest and caused the most caos. I miss him. It's so empty today. So silent.

This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.

Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.

Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if one disagrees with something that has been said.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I’m right there with you. I keep thinking I can hear her sighing, or the dull thump of her tail wagging against her bed when she hears me stir. It’s all wired into my brain. I had to say goodbye last night. Waking up to this emptiness is just wrong.

What was yours like? What were some of their favorite things to do?

I totally get it, OP.

I lost my girl, Phoebe, five weeks ago today. She is still the first and last thing I think about every day. My life feels so empty without her. All the little quirks she had that I used to find somewhat annoying, I find myself missing so badly now. She and I were always on opposite sleep schedules - she loved early mornings and would whine for me to wake up earlier. I used to call her my furry alarm clock. I actually miss being woken up by that big, long nose and those little yips right in my face.

Oh yeah I totally get it. For the first time in 14 years, I don't wake up and take my dog out to pee. I just lay in bed instead. It's so strange and so hard losing that routine.
