What an asshole, dogs and pets in general are basically best friends to the owners so I would be surprised if someone didn't get upset over theirs dying

Agreed. though i care for my animals then most human beings.

So your friend just happened to have a story about somebody whose little death turned into the big one, and they were complaining about you grieving for your dog?! Man, they missed an opportunity for a much more interesting conversation!

Good riddance.

#3 He wasn't talking about someone who died fucking. He was implying that if OP was grieving so much he must have been fucking his dog. Catch up.

I assure you I wasn't joking. I'm a very serious person. Especially on humorous websites.

Sorry for your loss OP :(

im so sorry OP, losing a pet is like losing a member of your family. that "friend" is an insensitive jackass

It's hard losing a dog. I've lost dogs that I had for ages and dogs I had for a mere week (the poor pup got into some rat poison that we didn't think she could reach and it killed her because she was still a small puppy) and they all hurt so bad because most people's dogs are so important to them because they are like family. I'm so sorry for your loss OP.

According to that idiot's logic, you must be fucking if you're upset at losing a family member.

Sorry for your loss, OP. I almost feel even sorrier for your "friend." He's obviously never know the love and bonds between a pet and their owner.

I'm sure I can speak on behalf of the community (dog lovers) when I say that's a terrible thing for them to say. Sorry to hear OP

well if someone doesn't know how it's like to deal with someone's death, they shouldn't "Just say".

It doesn't matter who or what you are grieving over, it's nobody's business how long it takes you to cope.

I'm very sorry for your loss OP. :(

Not much of a friend, especially when you're grieving. It doesn't matter if it was 'just' a dog, loss is loss. Losing a pet can be like losing a piece of yourself too, and I'm sorry your 'friend' doesn't understand that. Take some time to yourself, celebrate the experiences you and your doggy shared and take it easy for a while! It hurts so bad at first, but it does get better. Best wishes to you!

It is well known that insults, slanders, gossips and slurs mostly reflect the deepest darkest fantasies inside the mind of the person who utters them . Just saying.

Did just just call him a friend? I hope you meant he WAS your friend? Noone that says these kinds of things is a true friend OP, you deserve better.

#13 No, he didn't. That's what the inverted commas on "friend" were for, to say the person is supposed to be his friend, but isn't.
