Hey. A week or so. No, short story is my neighbor took his life (still shocked in our convo that day all seemed normal) than the next morning my dog got hit by a car or truck (he's lucky no broken bones but when it hit the sound had me thinking dead. He's recovering fast) now back here and there lol
Understandable. My mom's dog passed away recently, and while it was her dog it was hard on me. I think humans are wired to be more concerned about the demise of the 'lesser' species then their own.
Animals are presumed to be in a state of innocence. Humans, as rough as it sounds, may have done some ill deeds to lead to their misfortune, but pets are our better selves made simple. It's a normal reaction.
