I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of Razor. I know my dogs help me through everyday. I’ve lost many over the years it never gets any easier. My heart goes out to you.

🤗 pet people get it. a year after i got my first cat (or we got each other😻), a friend at work lost her cat in a traumatic way. when i saw her at work, people kept telling her about cats that were available. i asked her why she didn't tell them to shut the eff up, but she could barely speak, she was so sad. so the next person who said it, i asked if a parent had a baby that died (shiver) would you offer them babies up for adoption... of course he looked at me like i was crazy. so i said what about if you lost a grandparent, would you want me to take you to a day centre and ask you to pick one? someone laughed and after i glared daggers, they got quiet. he said, "of course i wouldn't!" all offended to which i replied, "then stop trying to give her a cat. they're not interchangeable." smh

i lost that first cat. i didn't understand until today why i'd been feeling sad recently, then i remembered it's his anniversary in 2 weeks.💔 i've made room for my pain over him and every time i'm sad, i think of a happy memory, too.

you're in my thoughts.

people can be asses I never had a dog until I got married. I never understood why people got so upset I thought it’s just a dog. When I lost my first dog I understood I can tell you the day she died, what song was popular on the radio that whenever I hear it I think of her, she died in her sleep. That was 25 years ago. My last dog I had to put down that was even worse I was a total wreck I still tear up over him. We waited to get our next little sweetie 3 years you know when it’s time but you are right it’s not like a car let’s get a new one. Like I said love my pet people. Love your sass that you challenged that idiot that didn’t understand

pet people seem to be really empathetic. a few weeks after i brought home my first pet i couldn't find him. this went on for hours. i even made up posters and knocked on doors. that night, just as i stopped crying, he came sauntering out of my roommate's room. i freaked, i shouted, i grabbed him up. he made this offended noise. i let him get down and he looked at me like, 'what is WRONG with you?' he went under our bed and went back to sleep, lmao.

so when my friend's cat died, i thought of that and i felt for her so badly. i couldn't understand why they found it so difficult to act appropriately!! my friend talked about that cat more than most people talk about their kids. and we could see her visibly in pain. at least they looked embarrassed when i went off on them.😹
