Here's my situation. I just lost the little fluff-ball in my avatar. He was a shelter pup and I got him during a really tough period in my life, well
still going through it. Basically my body and mind gave out on me and I've been unable to work since then. Anyway, he was put to sleep on October 10th.
He was just barely a year old and I hadn't even had him a year. He had seriously deformed hind legs, as in every single joint was fucked up. His hocks
actually bent forwards when he was standing, as well as sideways. He has severe hip displaysia and major stifle problems as well. On top of that he was
epileptic and had been abused as a tiny puppy. So he was being maintained relatively comfortably on massive amounts of joint supplements, plus Previcox and
Tramadol daily. He wasn't a surgical canditate since there was so much wrong with him, plus there was no way I could have afforded the $10,000 plus it
would have taken to even try to fix him. Well what happened was he started to have some severe neurological/behavioral problems. He'd be fine one second,
then he'd suddenly be attacking for no reason, then fine again. He had also stopped eating regularly and wasn't playing or really happy at all. So I
had to make the decision to let him go.
So, there isn't any way for me to get another dog now or for the foreseeable future because of my living situation. To top all of that off my bf decided that he wasn't good enough for me. As I said to him, great timing on that one to leave me right after I lost my dog. I don't make friends very easily, and my one good friend is currently in Iraq, plus not talking to me anyway. The only other good friend I have is completely self-centered and is pretty much useless to talk to. Yes I do see a therapist, but he's unavailable for right now.
So, how would you guys cope with this? I feel like my whole life is falling apart and I've got nothing and no one to turn to.
