Animals: Today, after calling my boyfriend and telling him that my dog...

Today, after calling my boyfriend and telling him that my dog had just died, he hesitated and stuttered, "She was old, sick, and suffering. Babe, it was her time to go." He then informed me he had to go to his friend's house and hung up. My dog was two years-old, in great health, and was hit by a car. FML

Today, I took my 17 year-old dog, who had been my best friend my entire life right from when I was born, to be euthanised. I had booked in advance. The vet ambled in all spritely and cheerfully asked, "Just here for a checkup, aye?" FML

What a treat

Today, I asked if my friend wanted to come meet my dog and give him a treat. We were walking to my back yard, her holding 3 hot dogs, when she said, "I think your dog is dead!" I said, "No, he's just old and sleeps all the time and won't wake up until you pet him because he's deaf." He was dead. FML

Today, my girlfriend of a couple of months texted me that she was very sad because her puppy had just passed away. Feeling sorry for her, I bought her another puppy of the same breed. I wrapped it in a blanket and placed it on the passenger seat and went to pick her up from school. She sat on it. FML

Today, I had to put my 12 year-old dog down because he had dementia. I was told I got to lay on the floor with him, and say when I was ready. The vet brought my dog out on a stretcher, had the vet tech put him in a choke-hold, and administered the drugs before I could speak. Now, I have PTSD and she has to undergo sensitivity training.

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

Not everyone knows your dog's age or care about your dog. He assumed that your dog died of natural causes and tried to comfort you.

i'm sure her boyfriend's seen her dog. and i'll be honest, an old, suffering dog looks and acts a lot differently than a healthy 2 year old.

RDR435, you're kind of an idiot, aren't you? animals do have feelings, the only way someone could not know that is if they've been living under a rock.

AtoZnumbersand, you're also fairly stupid. just because you might not get an attachment to a pet doesn't mean that other people don't. for many, losing a pet is as bad as losing a family member, because losing a pet is losing a family member.
