Priorities

Today, I was at a friend's birthday party when I got a call from my mom telling me to come home because my dog died. When I told my friend that I had to leave because of the loss, she replied with, "Okay, but you brought my gift inside, right?" FML

I would have said yes then picked up the gift and took it back home with me. Rip to your dog though. That sucks :(

I never expect a gift from my friends other than a good time! Or a case of beer to split :) what a selfish bitch FYL.

A gift is the only reason anyone is invited to anything.

I'm terribly sorry for the loss of your pup, it breaks my heart when people lose their animals. -Your friend sounds quite selfish, I understand that it's her birthday and all, but I think if someones dog passed, a little bit of understanding and perhaps some sympathy should be given. It's never a good idea to keep people like that in your life, because chances are, they're the type of person that puts their needs in front of everyone else, and given the chance they'll step all over you. Again, sorry for loss.

Or did you leave it outside, next to her empathy.

In my culture we don't view pets as humans, and we accept and understand that they have shorter lifespans than ours. However, I don't see how a dead pet is urgent news that requires you to drop what you're doing and come home. I'm sorry for your loss.

Culture doesn't really have much to do with it, most people are fully aware their animals are just that, however, that doesn't change the fact that they are still a loved companion, I love my dogs very much, I think of them as my family, but they are still treated like dogs, and as the humans, we are their pack master. That doesn't mean we can't still feel grief when we lose them, especially for those of us that have had our dogs from childhood into adulthood.

Telling me what is or is not part of my culture is an disrespectful ethnocentric viewpoint, but I'll forgive that.

I didn't say anything wasn't a part of your culture, you misunderstood me. I'm saying regardless of what someones culture is, dogs are usually treated as dogs, and not humans. I mean, that's just common sense. I said nothing about knowing what your culture is, and what is, or what is not part of it. "Culture doesn't really have much to do with it" Simply means that culture is not a key aspect in understanding the clear difference between animals and humans. -But I'll forgive that.
