So I still live at home and for the past 3 years so has my brother and his girlfriend, when they got here my brother, his girlfriend and me went to the humane society and got a dog, he got along with our existing dog great and was scared of everything and very friendly with us and loved us all
those first few days he slept with me every night and woudn't leave my side and he had a funny thing in which he would growl when happy which sounds bad but it was our little way of communicating
as the years went on my brother and his GF were barely home leaving the rest of us and mostly me to care for the dog, walk him, groom him, feed him, love him and every night he slept in bed with me along with my other dog
now the two dogs were buds they played and barked at passing people every day
now fast forward to about 3 weeks ago when my brother and his gf started to go through some rough spots and one day she said she was going to spend a day or two at her grandparents with the dog, thats no big deal she did it before, BUT she never came back with the dog and she broke up with my bro
at first i was mad, then I "shrugged" it off say it was no biggie
but now to this week and DAMN I miss him
I miss the way he ran up and jump into me when I opened the door and hit me in the nads, I miss how he would yawn and it sounded like he said hi, I miss his big eyes and over sized head and little brown spots and how he growled at me and waged his tail at the same time I miss how his nails were always a bit too long and clicked on the floor and how when we went to the beach he would run in a circle with a stupid face until he tripped nder his own feet, i miss how he would sit on the couch like a person and sometimes get boners, I miss how he chased the cat around the house knocking stuff over, I miss how he would lie right next to me in bed face to face
god I miss him
look now you got me crying, damn this is bad
 
awwwww, sorry. In due time you should get a new one. Losing a pet is heartbreaking but maybe they'll get back together

On a side note, your message was heartfelt until you mentioned boner and it made me laugh

this is an extremely sad story .. i feel really sorry for your loss...and the girlfriend was heartless to just take the dog with out explaining or ease the departure by giving you visits etc.. sounds like she is trying to seek revenge against your brother.. but ended up hurting you... but she has her right to the dog.. since it is legally hers... adopt another dog in time... but give it a little while to see if she brings the dog back..and to answer your question about why we love and get attached so much to our dogs...
 
I know what it is like to lose a dog that hasn't died. It sucks, big time. You will get there though, it has been over 4 years since I had to give my german shepherd away and I still get upset looking at his pics now but it does get easier with time.
 
thanks guys, writing this and reading your posts have helped
I haven't stopped thinking about popping that b!tch in the face
not only am I missing him but my other dog has been acting weird lately, she doesn't sleep much and doesn't go to bed with you at night anymore and a few times this week i came out to her just sitting on the ground, which creeped me out, I think we will get another dog, maybe a boxer
 
aww dammit liz. you made me even more sad than latshki did.
to latshki- can you explain your predicament to the girl, or is she done communicating with you and your bro?
 
shes gone, I talked to her, she didn't understand why it was unfair to take a dog from 4 people and another dog for herself, and that made me mad and I called her something and I believe she left the province
and the dog was under her and my brothers name
 
Oh fudge.... Your brother does have half legal rights to the dog if his name is on the papers. To be a pain I would take her to court. Oh the have the peoples court on line lol. I know its strange you plead your cases on line and the people rule. Then whatever they decide is what is. Do that and tell us when to vote. :D We would all vote for you to get the dog back. ;)
