My two dogs have been apart of my life for over 8 years. I use to hate pets and thought they were a waste of time and money but now I'm an animal lover. But I know that they won't live forever. Just today the older one was run over across the road right in front of me and the driver took off. Sure it wasn't his fault, but a fucking sorry wouldn've been nice.
It wasn't exactly the way I thought she'd die but at least she seemed to die quickly and didn't suffer. The death wasn't the most horrifying part, but the part where I had to carry its lifeless corpse home was. Was it better that it was dead and over with? Or would I preferred it to be badly injured instead? I don't know.
I feel deeply sad about it. But in some ways I feel relieved. I feel that the death is less painful than if it was to die when I have become a lot more attached to it.
Luckily, my other dog escaped uninjured from the incident. But now I'm starting to wonder how it's going to die.
Has anyone lost a pet they were attached to?
How long does it take to get over the death? Would you rather your pet die, than to live scarred?

Yeah, this is just like another cry/rant thread. But it means something to me.
