I had the most annoying conversation with somebody a few days back. I was talking to some friends about pets, the demise of pets, so on and so forth. How it is going to be so painful when the time comes to say goodbye. Then this bitch pulled a chair in and sat by my side, with just a sentence, "It's just a dog, get over it!". The time seemed to freeze at that moment she said that, I can still remember hearing her slurping her finished Coke from the cup noisily, a small gust of wind as the rest of my friends leaned back unconsciously to their seats. I can remember feeling that nerve tick on my head and I gritted my teeth before I said, "You know, saying it's just a dog who died to me is the same as saying it's just your daughter who died, get over it!", she stunned with her eyes wide open and I continued, "So why can't you just give birth to another daughter and rename her the same name as your current one?". Tell me if I am over sensitive, nobody has the right to say whose whom is just a whom, don't be so cocky to think that only your people is important.
Anyway, I think she got what I meant when she actually apologized and acknowledged that she has blurted things out before thinking. This post is meant to all of you who think a pet is just a pet. My pets mean the same thing to me as my family. A part of me will be lost, too if I lost them. Get it?
