Is it wrong to cry if your dog died and you've known her since you were a toddler? My friends would think it's silly, and when you think about it, it kind of is. Does anybody else think it's silly?
Advice-Babe answered Sunday February 20 2005, 4:01 pm: no it is perfectly natural and if your friends laugh at you for crying then they are not really your friends they are just retarted jerks!!! [ Advice-Babe's advice column | Ask Advice-Babe A Question ]

Hair93 answered Sunday February 13 2005, 10:51 am: Hey,
This has happened to me before too. I had this dog for nine years and then died of bone cancer. I cried for about 4 days because i was so attached to that dog. So, no I dont think it is silly to cry. I didnt go to school one day because i cried so much. Just tell your friends about your problem and they will understand.
BloNdieSs_Kic_AsS answered Saturday February 12 2005, 1:15 pm: Yea, i mean you have kbnown the dog since you were a baby and no its not silly to cry. I mean if you were close with it and it was an inside dog and u played with him alot of caorse you are going to be sad, when anybody does its sad, and dogs are like human almost.. they are really smart and im sure if i had a dog for that long id be realy sad, ive had my dog for like 2 yrs now and if she died id be depressed for awhile becuase we always take her to the lake, and i always play with her and she keeps me company sometimes so dont think its silly!

missxabercrombie answered Saturday February 12 2005, 1:02 pm: There is nothing wrong with crying over your dog, especially if you've known it since you were a toddler! dogs are just like family, you grow up with them, you see them, you live with them, you play with them. It's not silly! I would cry if my dog dies! which i hope my or yours won't! [ missxabercrombie's advice column | Ask missxabercrombie A Question ]
xoPandaBabyxo answered Friday February 11 2005, 8:01 pm: Of course it's NOT silly!!! If you've known her since you were a toddler, than your dog is like a sister to you. You know, part of the family. If your friends think that it's silly than they got somethin else coming to them because it's the same as losing a family member. So dont be ashamed to cry, ok? I hope you feel better about it.
EpAsh2010 answered Friday February 11 2005, 5:32 pm: omg!! NoWay!!! It's very sad when you lose an animal you loved so much! I can't imagine losing my dog, but when i think about it I wanna cry!!

Brittany13 answered Wednesday February 9 2005, 5:08 pm: No, I don't think it's silly. If my dog died I would be crying my eyes out. And if anyone makes fun of you just say "Hey! What would you do if someone really close to you died?" Thats what I wold say.

Karen answered Monday February 7 2005, 3:57 pm: It's definitely not wrong to cry if your dog died that you have known for a long time. It's alright to cry if someone in your life has died. It's not silly at all and you just need to ignore your friends. Hope I helped :)

Zoinatrobe answered Monday February 7 2005, 3:38 pm: No way! If my rabbit that Iv'e had since I was 6 died I would cry! A dog is like a friend or even a family member, especialy when you have known it for so long. I'm so sorry- you will get over it. However, don't cry in public places about it. Your friends oviously don't see how important your dog was to you- it is not them being horrible. Lots of sympathy, hope your dog goes to doggy heaven.

XxKaTiExLeIgHxX answered Monday February 7 2005, 2:54 pm: no i think its perfectly ok...if my dog ever died...i would be so upset for like weeks...im very attached to my dog...at times she could make me mad and i could say i hate her but really...i love my dog and that might sound silly but its the truth...so dont be afraid to cry its always good to get out your emotions...and if your friends were real friends they wouldnt think thats silly because something that gives you pain is not something they should laugh at....im sorry about the dog.... :`(
Itsallkaitlyn answered Monday February 7 2005, 1:48 pm: No its not wrong to cry when your dog or any pet dies, you become relly close to animals as you grow up with them, its not silly, don't worry what your friends think.-Kaitlyn [ Itsallkaitlyn's advice column | Ask Itsallkaitlyn A Question ]
bAhAmAmA0250 answered Monday February 7 2005, 1:35 pm: Yeah i admit it kind of is to cry over a pet. I was talking to my boyfriend about this i said if any of my 3 pets died i would be crying like a big baby. So its perfectly normal i think its just like a little bro or sis you have around. And you are just used to it being there and it gives you the love and attention. So its perfectly normal!! Isn't wierd how we can get so attached to something thats not human and cry over it? I think so but its how life works and its not silly -trixx [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

LostAngel answered Monday February 7 2005, 12:05 pm: OMG no! your dog is like ur best friend to u, who u can tell anything to and know she wont say anything lol! but anyways the dog i have no i had since 99 and i know when i lose her im gonna feel like my whole life has changed bc she is soo gr8...so no its not silly, just remember she is past God's Gates now and she knows shes still loved on earth
jazziewolf answered Monday February 7 2005, 11:46 am: Of course not! Cry away. Your dog was your best friend, and don't you worry about your friends thinking it is silly. If they have pets, then they will go through the same thing. I have two guinea pigs, and when they die, I will cry myself a little river, so don't worry about being sad about your dog.

Melanie4981 answered Monday February 7 2005, 9:18 am: It's fine to cry, if my dog died I would be inconsolable!! You get close to your pets and they become like a friend.
A friend that loves you no matter what, a friend that you can talk to and they won't repeat what you're saying.
They live for you and they would die protecting you.
So no, despite what your friends might say it is not stupid to cry over a dog dying!
martita answered Monday February 7 2005, 8:54 am: No, it is not wrong to cry over the death of a pet you loved.....they become a part of your family! I lost my dog last November due to heart disease, and I cried as though he was my child! Pets are friends to us, when no one else is there, or has time. They love us unconditionally, and carve a special place in our hearts. I think what you're feeling is normal.....
