Prayers and condolences for the loss of your handsome Burgess. Gone way too soon. May he Rest In Peace... Unfortunately, most of us have sadly been where you currently are. Time heals some of the pain, but, unfortunately, it really never goes away. Just be assured that sweet memories of your Burgess will be with you forever.

No words can describe your pain/sadness. Hopefully you have a good support network around you and be kind/take care of yourself specially at this point in time. Also hope you are starting to feel some relief from the pain at times now that its been a couple weeks.

Unfortunately like many here ive been in your shoes. 2.5yrs ago kinda out of the blue i lost my best best friend Hank (bulldog of course is there any other kinda dog?? ) 2 months shy of his 11th birthday. To say it messed me up would be a gross understatement. We were each others shadow for 10.5 years. He went to work with me most days and I even bought my vehicles based off if it had a bench seat in the front bc he would get an attitude if it didnt.
My therapist at the time (did i mention it messed me up?) said that losing Hank was more a kin to losing a child bc the reality is thats the relationship we have with our dogs. We provide food, shelter and safety for them and they give us nothing but deep unconditional love. Hank got me through some VERY ugly times where life just “lifed” all over me. She also told me a fascinating analogy. She said “think of a button inside a box. Also in that box is a ball bouncing around. Whenever the ball hits the button you will feel your pain. At first the box isnt really big enough for both the ball and button so they are always touching. Over time the box gets bigger so as they wont hit as much. But that button will always be there….

As weird as it sounds i now find comfort thinking im grateful its me that has to carry this pain so long as Hank never had to experience even a second of it. If it were us to go before them then they would had to live out their lives with the pain of losing their human and that would be just as devastating for them. If i had to take the bullet so Hank didnt then without question id do it again in a heartbeat

For the first month or two after losing Hank i would seriously look for him randomly. Like the brain could not compute he was no longer there. I still have Hanks car seat cover in my truck folded up and tucked under his seat. And his picture is still the wallpaper on my phone. Now days i get lucky every once and a while and he shows up in a dream. When i wake up its a feeling as if he is/was almost actually here for a bit and in strange way its comforting.

I feel no shame saying that last night i was eating some ice cream and i looked down where Hank would usually sit and i just lost it for a good 10-15min.
Im not usually a very emotional person either.
Hopefully someday you can find some solace knowing that in order to feel the pain you do you had to lose someone very special and that lots of people never get to experience that kinda true real love.

I am so sorry for your loss, Burgess is such a handsome boy! I would like to think he is cuddling up in the arms of the Man upstairs.
