I'm nearly 62 and have had literally dozens and dozens of pets, especially in my childhood, because they were outdoor animals and did not live very long. When I became an adult and married I kept our pets indoors and they lived relatively long lives. This was a terrible week for me because we had to put down our beloved little Curly Girl, a 9 year old Bichon Frise. She developed kidney disease that progressed rather rapidly and she had lost so much weight because eating made her sick or food made her nauseated. So it was under the skin hydration twice a day for maybe a week or so, but the end would still be the same. I see her everywhere, on everything and am having a real hard time with her being gone. Before, I worked and that helped my mind to stay focused on other things, but now that I stay at home - it is so painful that I just can't seem to focus on anything happy ! They really do take a piece of your heart when they go !

I lost my chocolate Labrador on 1st November 2017 and I can’t stop missing him 💔 I don’t think I will be able to have another dog, I just want him back. I had a lovely vet and he helped me a lot.

Yes I do remember my first pet. She was a terrier mix who lived to 18 years of age. She was a sweet girl.

My first dog passed when I was 16. Back then they didn’t have heartworm prevention and the treatment was a shot every day for a month. After the 2 time he got heartworm and 2 full treatments, we couldn’t put him through it a third time. He was such a sweet fat terrier mix with red hair and a beard. Our friends called him a wired haired watermelon. I remember him with love and smiles. I’m sorry you lost your pug pup the way you did. 😢

My first pet was also a pug named Maya.a piece of my soul is with her still and I look forward to seeing her again when I pass.
Thank you for caring so much about our animals God Bless You!

I've had several doga thru the years and experienced the pain of having them pass. I remember each one as if it was yesterday.

My first dog was a present for my 1rst birthday, she was a little black and white Rat terrier, which i named Puppy. Dad made me a rocking chair to sit in and watch T.V. i sat on the floor and puppy sat in the chair. She loved car rides going fishing pick up a rod and she was at the door waiting to go. We visited my dads folks i was about 4, well Grampa said no dogs in the house, I said then i was sleeping in the car too. Puppy came in the house. We had 15 marvelous years. Till she passed away from cancer. The last few weeks my dad carried her in and out to do her job, we hand fed her. She no longer slept with me she slept in gramps's platform rocker . She hemorrage during the night and was gone when i got up the next morning.
I am 68 now and there has been many more in my life, cats cows and horses to later on after we moved to the farm. Each lives in my heart and memories till I see them again .

A similar incident led to the loss of our first dog ‘Trixie’ she was a Labrador/Corgi mix, sweet, beautiful nature. She’d retired and lived up on our front veranda. However some people came out to inspect our property and she was run over by a car. I even remember when they raced up to tell us I couldn’t believe that she’d ventured down to have a sniff and thought they meant one of my Dad’s working dogs. Not our darling ♥️.
I could howl now recalling this and my sympathies and heart goes out to all who have lost a special member of their family.

Hi Dr. Jones, as I watch this video, I remember my 1st Lamb, she used to come in my Grandma's house, following that slice of bread in my 4 year old back pocket. My parents put my lamb in the back of our 54 Chevy with my brother and me, little did I know my parents were taking my lamb to the slaughter house. I cried so bad, they got a Buck, that got me against the chicken coop and they slaughtered that one too. My first lamb I hope I see again in heaven along with all my dogs. I'm holding my 5 pound 3 oz long haired rescue Chi, the Love of my life. She had pancretitis, I took her to speciality Vet, they found gall bladder sludge and a swollen Pancretitis. It was a once a week return trip to recheck, re ultra sound. So after she was over pancretitis, I asked my regular Vet to remove the gallbladder. That was 2 Mondays ago, she said the Gallbladder was attached to the liver, so she had to peel it carefully free and seal the Liver with something Vets use. I asked for blood work last Tuesday, call me over cautious, but she wasn't active, ate half her low fat food. Her liver enzymes are at 500 and some, her platelets are HIGH and my Vet told the tech to"Tell me it's just "probably" from the surgery 2 weeks ago." I've got an appointment with the speciality Vet again Monday, I can't live with "probably's", this little dog means more than the roof I badly need on my little house. I love her as much as that little Lamb, but I could not save my lamb I'm trying this time to save my Brie. Your little Pug and the sadness you still have, shows great empathy and kindness, you are a Good Vet and your Government has no clue what they did to you. Don't ever change Dr. Jones, you have many followers who look forward to the next story, the next treatment the next video!

I've had a few pats over the years pass on and it Definately never gets easier, just harder. They are my family, and loosing one is just as hard as Loosing a human family member. Your sharing of your experience is so touching and appreciated. Thank you for all you do.

Hi from East Texas. My first pet was a little black lamb. Don't remember much but I was about 3 or 4 when he wasn't there no more.

[barirodriguez]

My first pet (all have been dogs) was the result of an illicit love affair between a Maltese male and a Poodle female. Shorty, bless his sweet heart, wasn’t the sharpest blade in the tool shed, but he was my constant companion for nearly 20 years. My dad always said it should be against the law to raise a kid without a dog, but maybe the word “dog” should be replaced with “pet”.
Love your channel, and all the helpful hints and home remedies you pass along to us. 🥰

[elizabethcalderon]

I understand how you feel about it because I have 9 nine year old cane corso female and she’s like my child and she’s is sick with a big tumor hanging on her belly and just thinking that she might die of it gets me so emotional and I pray to god that she’ll be here with me more time that I expect it because she’s my everything to me. God bless you doctor and keep your good job and kindness. Liz from Long Island NY thanks again

we had alot of animals but my very first animal that was really mine was a tabby female cat her name was tigger she was my baby and when she had her first litter i was so happy i was going to be a mom with her she loved with me for along time i had my own 2 kids when she was still around

[beckybrown]

You are such a wonderful person. You are like one of us. Most vets acts like they are just out for the money. I can remember the death of all my pets. Some depending on their Years and their closeness to me. I've had to stay in bed for 2 months. Tinkerbell was 20 years old. With me every second that was possible. She died of kidney failure. I gave her fluid treatment for months. Special foods, I couldn't face it was her time. I can look back now and see where I torture some of my loving pet trying to save them. Spent 1, 000$ and 1, 000$ just because I wanted to keep them. I loved them so much. Animals are our truest friends we can ever have. We can talk to them, tell them our secrets, they don't run and tell everybody. We can cry and they lick our tears away. We give them a toy and they are so happy. Their Christmas present they love. Never do they laugh and say mom what made you get me this?? They eat their food and never fuss, mainly because they know mommy will give them a little pinch. They are happy with that little pinch. But when mommy makes milk bones they love those.. I don't like to think about losing anyone, my pets are my children also.. I have so strange event that have happened to me after their death, till I had to get on medication. Thank you again love all your videos..

My first pet love was a Shih-Tsu named "Charmin." She lived to be 18 and died of old age in her sleep. My second was a long haired copper doxie named "Little Bear" who lived to be 17 and died in his sleep of old age. With each of them I framed a picture with a lock of their hair and their name tags. I now own a Rhodesian Ridgeback/English Mastiff cross and he is a 92 lb. cuddle bug named Jonah. He is a rescue dog that someone had shot and left in ditch. He is so gentle and such a joy! He is now 2 yrs. old. I hope he lives for a long time. He was a gift from my daughter after my husband passed away.

I really really enjoyed your family video such a blessing. God bless

Thanks for that story. So sad you lost your pet pug that day. It seems to be nothing more sad than losing someone dear to you, and especially a precious pet that you’ve become so attached to. Reflecting on my past pets and my current ones, I don’t look forward to the day that the ones I have now pass on. It is really hard to let go of creature that looks up to you, depends on you all the time and has their own kind of love. I have a few sad stories, and I wish I knew then what I am learning and know now. By the way, I started your Ultimate Canine Health Formula on my medium sized 7yo mutt yesterday. He eats it up, enjoys the flavor and I’m happy to finally try something I am comfortable buying for my dog. Thank you so much!
