I Miss The Dog
Posted by Moose on September 1st, 2008. Filed under: Love.
I sometimes think about asking my ex if I can see Meeka Dog. To take her on a walk, blow on her ears until they flick back, sit with her two front paws on my shoulders while I rub her flanks. But I suspect it would be too hard. So I don’t.

Isn’t it hard enough that a breakup has to be with a person? Does it have to be with a person AND a dog too? That’s just not fair.

Hey, one of my cats is big enough to BE a dog. He even comes when called too. And sometimes he can do tricks! You’re welcome to come over and cuddle him anytime. You could even try taking him on a walk if you like, although I tried that once and it didn’t work out very well. He didn’t want to walk, you see. He just wanted to sniff everything.

I agree with Teej, it just sucks.

Oh. That must hurt–I’m sorry. I bet she misses you too. Hugs to you!

That totally sucks.
I’m sorry.

Oh, this breaks my heart, Moose. Like Jeci says, I’ll bet she is moping around, wondering where you’ve been and waiting for you to come back. Hang in there – it’ll get better.

I know a certain little Chihuahua who is marking off the days until he gets to stay with you.
Just think! You can have a sweater fashion show!

You can borrow Tucker anytime you want.

Maybe we can pool our collective animals–Sadie, Charlie, Beuhls, Dude, Sweetie Pie, Buster–and have a “Bring Your Animal to Moose” Day, and then you’ll have a rotating pet and maybe you won’t be so sad!
I don’t want you sad. I like the bright-and-shiny Mooselicious.

Me too, except the dog was my idea and 3/4 raised by me, i.e. MY dog. I do ask to see her. It’s difficult and makes my stomach hurt (actually just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt), but it’s worth it to see that she’s relatively happy.

Well, that’s just…not fair! You should have visitation rights. Although maybe that would make it even harder, I don’t know.

I can only imagine. That sucks. I’m so sorry!

That would be the hardest part of ever parting with Mike, losing (even if just part-time) my favorite four-legged friend. Really one of my favorite friends period.

You know, missing the pup would be the thing that would sneak up on me again and again. My pups are sending hot dog breath and wagging tails your way.
Hang in there.

I’m sure she misses you too.. would he be a super jerk and not let you see her?
I have twin girls who you could take out on a stroll if you want

Beulah and I could go on a Meeka Thieving mission! Beulah has her Stealth Doggles and Muttluks, so she won’t leave paw prints!

If Aaron and I ever divorced, we’d have custody arrangements for our teddy bear.
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Aww, that breaks my heart. I’m so sorry! I’m sure Meeka Dog misses you terribly.
Have you thought about getting another pet–dog, goldfish, something? Not to replace her, but to bring that same companionship into your life again? It helps immensely!

this breaks my heart
I don’t know what I would do if I divorced my husband – share custody? I’m not that well-balanced though, I’d probably run off with the pup in the middle of the night

When I dated the chef, he had a dog, Mikey, who was like mine. I took care of Mikey when chef was working or golfing (which was all the time). When we broke up, no more mikey. I miss mikey more than the ex boyfriend.

Can I just say that you totally should have that dog? I remember reading your first post about the break-up and I kept thinking, Moose had better get the pup.
I’m still upset about it.
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:12 pm
This just sucks. I have nothing else to say but BOO.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:38 pm
Thanks everyone. It was really hard to leave the Meeka Dog, but necessary. I honestly just try not to think about it.
Especially since the subtitle of this post is: How To Make a Moose Cry

After one particularly heart-wrenching breakup I started missing an entire state. I thought I was losing my mind, but I missed the physical place, and he was really the only reason I would ever have to visit it.

Moose – I started to tear up for you at my desk just lookinga t Meeka’s face. That totally sucks for you and I wish I had something good to say other than that sucks!

So I guess sneaking over to dog-nap Meeka back is out of the question, then? If it were me I’d totally consider it.

This breaks my heart, too, something awful.
When Domestic Partner and I had a huge fight, the late, great pug, Caesar was 13. DP wanted me to move out. I said that I would, but please let me stay until Caesar finishes living his life – I couldn’t abandon the old guy during his last few months. He was the closest thing to ever having a son, as well as a tactile representation of my inner child.
(P.S. I didn’t move out, even after Caesar had to be put down nine months later).
