I don't eitherMy dog is nearing the end of his life, we've had him about 12 years, I've grown up with that mutt!
I know it's not the same as a person but I've been really surprised how badly it's hit me, the idea of him not being about any more? even just seeing that he can't do the things he used to.
I actually studied Death in Society at uni, and logically I'm right up there with the reality...but emotionally I've been completely blindsided and I think that's because I've not had experience of death.
A couple when I was too young to remember, one I never got told about (and hadn't seen her for years anyway) and a few pets I'd not really formed that kind of bond with.
