My beagle, Little Bit, died about 4 years ago and I cant stop crying about her. She was a hunting dog and she was just doing her job. My dad throws deer bones in the pens whenever he gets a deer to train the dogs to remember the scent of the deer. Little Bit thought it was a treat so chewed on it all day long. The next day, my sister , Alesha, and me went outside to feed the dogs, and when we went by Little Bit and three other beagle , Annie, Penny, and Liberty, was growling, barking, and chewing on something. Alesha was the one to see what they were doing. She screamed and yelled,
" Hey leave Little Bit alone!" She ran over and I looked , and I saw Alesha opening the pen. I looked and saw Little Bit and saw that she tried to get the dogs off of her. I dropped the dog food and ran over there. I went in their pen and I was pulling the other dogs off of her. Alesha got this zapper that I didn't even now about. I asked her, " What is that?" and she said, " I don't know, but I am about to find out and poked it at Annie and she yelped and ran in her box. So Alesha did it to the other 2 dogs and ran in the box to. I picked up Little Bit and ran to the house. My Grandma Carol said why did I have her. I told her the whole story and she called the vet while Alesha and me got the bandages. The vet said that he would come in the morning. Her leg had bite so bad that you could see the bone. We covered it and I stayed with her all day and night. Near midnight Little Bit died. So Grandma Carol called the vet and we buried her the next day. It has been 4 years ago since that happened and I don't know why I am still crying.

(((HUGS))) its ok to grieve- when you think of ones you love - you cry that is normal but it is good to talk to others that have the same experience so you can work thru yet

I'm so sorry to hear your story, it is so hard to lose the life of anything. Our pets are truly the only unconditional love we can depend on. You miss that and that's OK. Writing a story about her can help heal the wounds. Also, a memorial of her so you can see her everyday helps too. This is what I do, reaching out to those who have lost their best friend.

AWWW! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. That sounds very traumatic. Its hard to lose a pet at all, but for it to be in such a sudden traumatic way.... I feel for you.

I am so sorry to hear about you losing Little Bit. It is so hard. I have lost 2 dogs in the last 2 years and I also want to cry. They were so special, loving and one to die of diabetes and the other hit by a truck. My heart hurts when I think of them. We must go on. Hold them in our hearts in a special place for those loved ones we lost to death. We need to remember the good things, which warm our heart. Even though we have another dog-2 dogs in this 2 years they do not take the place of Susie and Sparky and never will.
Time does help, you must let go and let Little Bit rest in peace. I am sure he would not want you to still be sadand crying-now would he????? You must move on and love another dog-it will never take Little Bit's place but will get your mind and hear moving forward not backward!!! Take care.

It's ok to cry, it's very hard to lose those that we love.... I promise you that Little Bit is ok and I truly believe that we will be with them again when our work here on earth is done ......
