my sister's hamster died a while ago... she was devastated... (then bought another hamster) i currently have a dog, bella... she's still very young, so she won't die just yet.
sometimes i think that the best way to get over the sadness of a loss of a pet is to not get a pet at all. is the sadness worth such a loyal companion?

wow you guys sound like you have had some great pets
and
metrox, whats a budgie?

A budgie is a type of bird.

wow.. talk about dogdays of summer amirite?

lol i hade a fish that died i was vrrry say and cried for 2 weeks lol i was only 8 years old i'm 15 now

Somebody stole my cat. I had it since I was 8. Info: I'm 14.

My first dog had to be put to rest,as long with 20 other pet's of mine.my first dog,Zach,was pretty much torture.He would scramble,barley able to move.I still have scratches all of the living room.Plus his ashes.Then,we had a cat named Socks.He was our first animal to not die from the same diesese.He was tortured by dogs,then my new dog,Coco,saved him form death,but he died a few hours later from the lack of life left in him....I was gone whent hat happened also,and hearing it after comming back from school makes you imagine it....just creepy and sad.

I had a dog when i was like..ehh.. i'd say 4, and it was a great dog! very obedient, but one day my dad was cleaning out the garage, when the dog at rat poison. We did'nt see him eat it, but the next few days he was acting very weak. My parants left with my dog to vet, and came back without him... if only we took him to the vet sooner...

Now when summer comes, many dogs will probably die because of the incognizant owners mistakes by putting the dog into a car when parking somewhere. It doesnt matter if you put the car in the shadow or if you crank down the window. After about 30 minutes it will die because of the heat. Its terrible putting a living creature in such a position. Never do that. My uncle did once. He never forgave himself.
