Do you cry when your pet dies?

Hi XX and I am so sorry your lost your special Rocky. A few years back my husband had a dog named Bear and he had raised him from a pup . He loved Bear so much and so did I Bear would climb up in the bed with me and slept many nights by my side. Then one day we went to these people's house that we know. His wife is sort of not all there, she got up while we was there and went outside and let our dog Bear off the truck we didn't know this. A little while later we went outside to leave and go home but no Bear we were really worried cause he never got off the truck unless one of us told him to get down. That is when she told us she let him off the truck we couldn't really be upset with her after all she don't understand too much. So we went to looking for him he was across the street and when we had called him he started toward us and then a car came speeding down the street and hit Bear didn't kill him right off but it did kill him. The car didn't even have the decency to stop and see how Bear was. Bear only lived a little while maybe 30 minutes we cried for so long didn't think there was anymore tears to come. We decided that it was best to get another dog in our lives pretty quick to help ease the pain of Bear. Needless to say we now chain our dogs when we have them on the back of the truck this woman has since moved back home with her parents her husband has since passed on. The one thing that makes it easier to bare is the fact that we know Bear is in Heaven not suffering and waiting for us to be in Heaven with him again. If you don't believe that go listen to this man he will teach you God loves all HIS animals and they go to Heaven when they pass on. http://www.shepherdschapel.com/index.htm So know in your heart that Rocky and his wife are in Heaven waiting to see you again.

I do feel sad, and I miss my dog after I have had to dispose of him. However I do have a good feelings about it, because I know I have not allowed my dog to suffer because I put my own selfish feelings ahead of the suffering of my old tired,faithful, and sick dog. Dogs are people too, and true love is completely unselfish!

There is this famous saying "Dog are man's best friend". It is indeed true. There is a popular movie called 'Hachiko', the story about a faithful dog who waited everyday without fail at the train station for its owner. One day the owner passed away, yet he still there at the train station waiting and hoping to see his owner comes back. I do have many dog and every time any of the dog gone, I felt deeply sad. They are so loving and just like a family member.

I dont have pets when i know very well how it feels when we lose something/someone close to us. I feel sad for your dog. May he be blessed with another soul. And hats off to his wife dog too..

Yes, I cried.. a lot... and we have so many dogs.. and pets, so we cried a lot of times when they passed, we even have cemetery for them at our backyard and put name on the cement aren't we weird? I don't know if we are weird people but we did that.

i dont care what kind of pet it is if i have loved the pet i am going to cry even if its a friends pet

Yes, I get terribly upset when pets die. It's so hard to get over the loss. Right now, we have no pets which is my choice. My husband would prefer another dog but I'm not ready. We had a dog and a cat we had to put to sleep within about a year. What a horrible experience so am taking a long break for the time being. Sorry for your loss.
