Pissed off at my parents - would you tell them?

I'm going to be contrary to everyone else.

I certainly know EXACTLY how you feel. We love our dogs like they were our children. Boney is nearly 17 years old and his health is starting to finally fail. Over the past 10 days... he's had 3 teeth pulled and he suffered enormously during the recovery... he's had updates on his shots that caused an allergic reaction that made him a nervous wreck... and now he is suffering from and eye infection that has caused his eye to nearly seal shut. We have spent almost $1000 on him in 10 days so you know we love that darned mutt.

So... you want to tell your parents (who treat the dog like a piece of meat) how you feel? They will NEVER understand how you feel. They probably can not conceive of how someone can feel the way you do about your dog.

The world is divided into 2 parts as far as pets and animals are concerned... those that treat all animals with love and respect and those who think that they have dominion of all creatures on earth. Non-pet lovers think pet lovers are crazy for caring so much about an animal and they cannot grasp the concept at all. So if you expect your parents to show you any sympathy or express any regret, you are going to be horribly disappointed.

and that i agree with! i think thats very true.

That's why you have friends like us! We understand how you feel.

When i was a kid my dog benjie died. I went mute for a week, no school no nothing. Thats why i cant have a dog again, hurts to much to loose a pet.

Dude, if i was you i would tell my perants. Not for sympathy but to make them realise.
