Otis Blackwell and Jimmy Jones (1960):

I fix broken hearts, I know
But I truly can

Losing a beloved dog is like losing a member of the family. Been there, done that and it hurts a lot. I’ve often said that a loyal dog is the closest thing to unconditional love you will ever see in this life.

OMG!

I cry when my dogs die, but this is taking things too far.

Beloved pet or not, it is just a dog/cat/etc., the left really

has succeeded in getting people to believe that pet animals

are the equivalent to human beings.

How utterly pathetic.

It probably sounds silly, I’m an old guy who has been married for almost 50 years. I love my wife and have a really great marriage, we have fun together and do a lot together. We share the same values, all that makes life good. About 7 years ago I got a rescue German Shepherd. She is a great friend and follows me everywhere. Most stores I go to she is right beside me. If I leave the house she doesn’t leave the door waiting for my return.

I have become more attached to this animal than I could ever believe anyone could be attached to an animal. The dog loves me and I her. It might be silly but I totally understand this broken heart syndrome.

Broken heart is a real thing

From this link,
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/10/20/woman-diagnosed-with-broken-heart-syndrome-after-loss-beloved-dog.html
it states this heart condition generally happens to women from 58 to 75.
This woman did survive but was also dealing with selling property, a son having back surgery, and an unemployed son in law - seems the death of her beloved dog was the icing on the cake.

“literally broke”.

Signs of, but not actual. Typical drama queen headline.

The dumbing down of America on display.

My dog will be six in a few months. I’m constantly afraid of losing her, as she is indeed my best friend in the world. At 50, perhaps my life changed, but so many friends and relatives are gone from my life from arguments/fights/disagreements/whatever....

What was this woman’s position on abortion?

Did she willingly kill her own family but so loved her pet, as so many millions have done?

We lost our pup Nemo on August 30th, he had suffered from Pulmonary Hypertension since late March and in August got pneumonia and his body just couldn’t fight it kept on getting worse and worse. Ultimately the pneumonia got better but his lungs were producing mucus non stop which was causing him difficulty breathing..he died in my brother in law’s arms which is how I wanted him to go..to be surrounded by his family who loved him so much. I miss him every single day we had him for 11 years(Pomeranian mix) he was loyal, sweet, loved tummy rubs and to be pet..there will never be another one like him

Managed to talk my wife into a “pre-replacement” for my older Cavs, as she got into the “we’ll never have another one like that” on considering that they’re getting closer to life expectancy for the breed (10-12). So their and our lives have been invigorated and blessed by a puppy who has made us all young again.

Won’t be easy to lose any of the older ones, but we’ll always have a piece of them in the others as they grow and socialize youngsters themselves.

As for the broken heart syndrome, I don’t doubt it on losing a beloved dog, but I also know it to be true with older couples who die within a short time of each other. Have several of those in my extended family.

Liam Taser [Scotland] comes to mind...and the opposite happened. It was Theo, the bomb sniffing dog, who died of a broken heart, after Liam was KIA.
