Some people treat pets AS people
I prefer pets that ARE people.
Sexy, sexy people that I can tie up and do dirty things with.

Pets. How do you view them?

I doubt I'll get another dog for a long time once the two I have now die; I love them way too much.
Actually, one of my dogs is really sick right now, and I'm scared out of my mind for him. I know most people don't think of their pets as members of their family, but I completely do and love them just as much as the rest of my family.

I cry.
Pets are family to me.
I love my cats and dog more than some of my actual family so when they die, I treat them as I would a loved one.
It'll be a long while before I get a new one.

I bury my pets in the yard when they die. I don't usually get too down about it, though. That's just how I am. I don't get replacements, 'cause there's always my ancient cat (He's 14). Don't know what I'm gonna do when he dies, though. I grew up with that silly cat.
Well, I remember 2 of my cats dieing. And 47 guinea pigs.
The guinea pigs.. We had so god damn many that we didnt really realise that they were dieing until we had 3 remaining.
The cats.. The first one was stabbed by my aunt's twisted husband and hung in her closet, bleeding to death slowly. I got to see it. That remains in my head every day.
The second was run over by my mom. I think it was commiting suicide though, it laid ontop of the car tire and once we started driving it fell backwards and got run over. I got to see its head twitching, laying in a pile of blood, blood pouring out of its mouth. My brother got to bury it, he was 11.
If my ferret dies its probably because it pissed me off.
I love her, sure. But she refuses to get tame!

I've got a cat who's 18 and is going out slowly and happily, but I will cry when he dies, he's been there since I was 2, and he's almost as much a part of home as my parents. It's much worse if they die young though - particularly as I'm trying to live up to being a vet I blame myself a lot. When my hawk died she was only 6 (they can live to 20 or more sometimes) and I haven't been able to summon the courage to get another - it's a year now...
Through a scope!
On actually reading your post, I think if a pet really loved you and was suddenly granted sentience the moment before it died, it wouldn't want you to live alone to say some kind of point about how much you loved it. It wouldn't care if you were dancing on it's grave (I wouldn't)because if there is an afterlife (hopefully but not likely), they wouldn't pay attention, if not, their dead.

I feel the same way my dog (roumer) was often refered to as the fifth and favored childJulianking93 said:
Do I have permission to murder your aunt's husband? Your uncle perhaps?NuclearPenguin said:
Im hoping to be a vet as well, but isnt one of the biggest lessons of any medicine that there are some patients that will die? Although I will agree with you a young pet death is very sad and terrible.House_Vet said:
So are you saying there is no point in honoring the dead? To respect its memory? Im a wee bit confused with your post perhaps its the wording but is that your point?dimensione510 said:
I have a dog and a cat at the moment. I remember that my family has had 1 dog earlier and 2 cats also (though I've been around to just see second one). They are +10 years old both and still doing fine. Cat has starting to spend more time indoors though so he is getting old now.
When they die...I will be sad. Very sad. Though you shouldn't mourn too much but cherish the moments you and your pet/s had. That's why I won't mourn too much at least. They wouldn't like to see their companion (I don't see me as their "master" or whatever you want to call it. More so, I see them as companions, friends, comrades than as something one owns) crying for them.
I will get new ones when I feel the time is right. There's no need to rush with into a friendship with new people either now is there? I'll take my sweet time to adjust into situation.

Well, cats and dogs in my family take years to mourn and we can still cry over them. Hamsters take only a few days of crying (always missed of course) and then i get another one or two.
Well I remember quite a few years ago our beloved Cairn Murphy died. He had a problem with his legs (He'd had a pretty long life by dog standards) and he also had problems with his sight. A vet said he could be able to cure him if his legs were troubled in a particular way. The doctor couldn't save him so we had to put him down, he was living in agony and was probably glad to go. It was one of the saddest moments of my childhood (I'd never seen my mother cry) so we had him cremated and his ashes put into a fine wooden box which still sits in a special place in my parents bedroom. After about a year or so we decided it was time to welcome a new member of the canine variety into our family. 5 years on and our new Cairn Monty is going strong. God typing this is just so upsetting. Anyhow I view them as genuine members of the family, and it's only right to mourn them, to honour how faithful they were, to honour all the good times you had together.
Depends on what you have the pet for. If you want a guard dog or something yeah, I would assume you would replace the first one rather quickly even if you did grow attached to it. I will probably be so sad when my dog dies that I won't WANT another one for at least a few months, but there's nothing wrong with getting one earlier if you don't feel the same way
