Ok, I want everyone to know that I am NOT trying to look for sympathy or anything....I am here at work and ALL of you guys are the ONLY people I really have to talk to during this LONG night....
This afternoon I was told by the veterinarian that my Dog has cancer of the stomach.....This just floored me beyond ALL belief. I am still in shock and cannot think straight.....
I just wanted kinda get this off of my chest...I probably wont be posting too much tonight, I am just hardly in the mood to be alive let alone post....
The worst part of losing a pet VERY close to you or having the Doc say they R very sick..Man its just the WORST feeling ever. I feel so helpless and I do not know what is going to happen...Tests are being done overnight tonight and I will know tommorow...Man, life REALLY fucking sucks.....
=( Thanks for listening everyone....Sorry to take up any time or space out here.

I'm really sad for you and your dog, iron. In 2001, I lost a dog too and I had bad days too.
I love animals and especially dogs so I understand what are you feeling... :(

bad one ironlung, feel for you man.
i work for a veterinary company and some of the people here who take orders on the phone get blamed for killing peoples pets by some vets who forget to keep their medicines stocked up.
so people who just do order entry have vets giving tham stick on a monday morning saying "you've killed some little girls dog at the weekend."

All you have to do is form no emotional attachment to anyone or anything, then you have nothing to lose. It's quite simple really, I do it. I spend ALL my time in a box.

lose yourself and all your worldly needs and desires, that's what the most recent budah realized. I used to take his elephant for a walk when he went on vacation, nice guy. (such a hyprocrite though, owning an elephant, he'll probably cry himself when it gets trunk cancer and dies or soemthning)

Ironlung; man!!! I feel sad for you I know how it feels, which wont make you feel better, but I hope, and know that youll cheer up someday! There is nothing you can do but wish for the best, thats all man. Best thing to do next time you can is talk to someone you know in person about it heart to heart always makes you feel good to talk about it. Lately ive been going through some rough shit with certain people in my life and issues that I can never seem to let free.... I talk with my girlfriend or closef friends about it.

w M w: Good theroy about not attaching to anything so you wont lose anything but in doing that you've already lost. I bet Ironlung feels that the bad feelings he has now are worth having in order to have all those good years he's spent with his dog. If you have nothing to lose, you havent gained anything at all.
I've been in a similar position as you iron. I lost a hamster a while back. It was a bad time. We are all cool people here, I'm glad Aphextwin.nu exists!!! :)

sad to hear this Ironlung. I lost a bunch of cats over the last several years: roadkills, dogs, poisoning... It always hurts and I know what you mean when you say you care for that dog of yours more than for 95% of human race and I support that. Animals are often more worthwile of our care and attention than most humans. So it hurts to watch them die especially knowing that they can't understand what is happening to them and can't find "spiritual" comfort that we, humans always somehow find... It makes you wanna scream. If I believed in god i'd hate that being for eternity... But this is life, my friend and life is made of joy and pain. None of these would mean anything without the other and that's the best I can offer you...
