[quote=Anonymous]I always felt like I had been traumatized by the death of my childhood dog. Full disclosure [trigger warning -- pet death -- maybe stop reading now]: he was hit by a car and died in my lap en route to the vet. So, pet death has always been one of the main reasons I've cited for not having pets for my own kids (other than scooping poop... I'm not sure I can deal with scooping poop... we lived in a very rural area and our dog had a large chunk of forest at his disposal, so to say, but we live in DC, so it would be a stinky litterbox or sidewalks and plastic bags for us) But then I just had this thought... maybe the trauma of losing a pet has made me better prepared for the human losses of real life.... I had never considered this before. What are your thoughts?[/quote]
