losing part of your family, even a pet, can be tough. I've had a few rabbits, and after the years of getting to know them and seeing them everyday, losing them doesn't get any easier.But please don't hold anything against the staff, yes they've hit a raw nerve but you can't ask them to be permanently in a state of depression. Their job would be untenable if people weren't able to distant themselves from the work they do, especially over the most important parts of life. | ||

Edit: As my cat gets older and lays around more, I dread the day when I go to pet him and he doesn't respond. | ||

They obviousluy don't need to mourn your pet but I think they need to respect you and your family enough to not laugh during the procedure. They should know that is part of their job description, dealing with people in distress. | ||

My first cat died out of the blue last year in January and it took me very very long to get over it and I still get emotional (read: cry) when I think about him. I have a few pictures of him but I wish it was more. Watching those is still hard for me though. Also about the forgetting how she looks.. sadly that will happen unless you make a habit out of thinking every day about her from now on | ||
