Do you cry when your pet dies?

When your pet leaves you forever, do you cry for him/her? Why or why not?
About me, I really did cry when my puppy died. I've been missing him somehow. I feel like I want to get the sufferings he underwent to. And the hardest part is when he shouted 3 times before he closed his eyes. I really whimpered for one week. I failed one of my exams because of thinking about my puppy, Lobo... Actually, I cried to all of my pets who passed away.

Of course. My brother's worse though. He wants to kill our maid because she didn't feed our pet here.

I do. I mean most of them live a while, and you do get connected to them emotionally. I think most pets have personalities, and you become friends so to speak with a lot of them. When they die it hurts. I get used to the companionship and friendship they give me, and then they are gone, and it hurts, so I cry. I had a golden retriever who I had since I was a young kid, and when she passed away, I cried a lot for a few days. It was harder than I thought it would be, and cried like I had lost a good friend.

Yup i cryed like a baby when my pet cat of 7 years past away i was really close to her and when i got the bad news i couldn't stop crying and back then i never thought i would cry over an animal but after that experience i understand, why people cry when there pets die because they become part of your family and they love and trust you unconditionally and thats hard to find in some people.

When our last dog had to be put to sleep we took him to the vets half an hour before the regular surgery. We all cuddled him while the vet gave him the injection. We were all really upset. We cried, the vet cried and the nurse cried we were all in a terrible state. Everyone in the village loved our old dog. Our dog that we have now is nearly 12 and we are dreading going through that again. We have decided that we will not get any more dogs after this one because we cannot cope with that again.

I absolutely did cry... I actually had to put my cat i had for 8 years to sleep last June and it was the hardest most painful thing i have had to go through to date. I know it was the right thing to do but it broke my heart and i still miss her to this day. Just know it gets better with time and you should just remember the fun times you had with your beloved pet....

I have not had this problem, yet, but I know that I soon will, and when that time comes, you better believe I will be crying my eyes out. My three cats are like my babies. They are all I have left now that my brother is gone. Frisky, Dubby, and Goldie will be missed if anything ever happens to them.

yes i lost my cat seven years ago. some times when i think of him i still cry. when i first lost him, i cried whenever i think of him. i couldn't eat or sleep or drink. i just sat in a corner in a daze. i was basically thinking about the happy times we spent together. so i was crying the whole time coz i cry whenever i think about him. after the initial four days, i still cry whenever someone mentions him or i think about him. it was a month before my boss came to me and spoke to me. he said that life has to go on and i cannot behave like this in office all the time. i realised how unprofessional it was and so started to control my emotions. but i still miss him a lot.

My pets are like my children so when they get ill or pass away, I certainly react. Yes, I cry when one of my babies die. The hardest one for me was when I had to euthanize a beloved dog due to advanced age and illness. I thought my heart would never mend. I came home and wept like a lost child. But I have learned that this is part of who I am, I love animals and when you take an animal into your heart, you feel for them and very much miss them when they pass on. You are not alone with this.

I love cats especially kittens. And I do feel hurt whenever the dogs invade my yard and devour them. Why do we feel hurt or cry? It is because we've become so attached to our pet(s). We cherish them just like how we cherish our beloved ones. Remember now that we are all animals. It's just that humans are high class. Nevertheless, we can communicate with our pets in simple ways for them to comprehend. They sense our feelings and we sense theirs also. For example, we can tell when they are happy because they get very playful at times. We also know when they are tired, sad and ill. Of course, you'll notice all of these if your are observant and care a lot for your pet(s).
