Oh man. I'm sorry. The same thing happened to my big old German Shepard. Except her death was allot more painful. It was a sweltering hot Saturday I guess she just go to hot cause when I went out to play with her she was just lying on the ground with her eyes wide open. I still remember. Her tongue was blue and hanging out of her mouth. We called the emergency vets but those bastards kept us on hold for four minutes before they came on and told us to spray her with a hose because it was hot. My dumb ass mother couldn't find the key to the back door(though why it needed to be unlocked with a key from the inside I'll never know) and I had to run all the way around the house to the back yard and back to take more instructions.
That day is forever seared in my brain. It's tough when you lose a family pet, but be grateful that you didn't have to see him take his final breath.
I'd give you some advice but I'm not sure what I did to get over it. We moved to Hawaii soon afterward and that took some of the sting away.

I'm ok now, really. ^_^ I just don't want anyone telling me he went to a better place, because I know he didn't, seeing as dogs have no souls.

...I think that if there are such things as souls, then dogs defiantely have them.

Sorry. Only humans have souls. It's kind of what makes us human. ^_^ I know it sucks.

@__@ Doggies have souls. . . . . I work in a shelter and no human has ever affected me as much as teh doggays have.  They have greater souls then humans. D:< When I see teh abused puppies and wonder if some humans have souls. ToT I don't know if they go to a 'better place' and I don't care if we do either. |

Taoism says you're wrong! D=<
But taoism says rocks have souls too. I wonder if there's a paradise for rocks. Well, more like, I wonder what the rock hell would be like. =o

Unfortunately, I am a christian, and in christianity only humans have souls, that's what makes us human.
Oh, and animals can touch you and you can love them, but that doesn't mean they have a soul.

Taoism doesn't have souls for anyone. Unless you're going by a unique definition of soul. Everything is made of chi and governed by li, but I wouldn't really call any of it a soul, even the tao.

This conversation almost makes me wish I believed in souls.

I'm an athiest and I wonder how Christians can mourn for animals then turn around and say they have no souls.
Find me a passage in the bible that says animals have no souls just so I can know where you're getting this.

pfh. Fuck that shit. I'm not looking up anything, I wouldn't know where to begin.
And we can mourn because they were good companions for us. I mean, my dog was really nice and fun and I loved him, but that doesn't mean he had a soul.

I had to put down my dog a little while ago, which was depressing on so many levels. But you won't feel so bad after a bit, you just gotta give yourself time, and all that (though if time healed all wounds, why do we have bellybuttons?). I have a question though...what is your defintion of a soul? What makes our soul;being;essence, whatever, different from what a dog has? I'm curious.  |
