This thread is making me want to go hug my kitty. He wouldn't like it though.

[Frumple]

You all... you all seem so lucky. Sounding like only lost one or two dogs you were close to.

Have lost over dozen in life time, I think, with similar number of cats. Have buried two dogs m'self (which, let me tell you, skirting heat stroke when emotionally distressed does nothing to help situation), and two cats. Had one dog die with me beside her (simple old age); two cats (One snakebit -- watching an animal die to neurotoxin is pretty fucking horrible. Just sayin'. Other kitten, just didn't make it. May have been multiple of those, actually.). Day woke up to kitten bits spread around living room was particularly horrible; almost killed dog that did it with bare hands Wasn't really dog's fault, t'be honest, but we got rid of dog shortly after.

Most kicked it to cars. Still cannot express emotional reaction to that without vulgarity. Incidentally one of the other reasons I have a frothing hatred for people who speed through residential areas.

Anyway, down of the day. Too many lost pets. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbit, chicken (Oh gods... that last two They did not go prettily.). Not even carelessness that causes it all, it just... happens, and then bad luck of having some fucking bastard going 70 through 35 zone not looking where going. Good thing there's not many kids on my street, I guess

Or ants eat them alive or they run under a running lawnmower or something. Poor chicken. Poor rabbit. Such a mess... wish was joking. Not joking.

Moral of the story?

It may sound cold, but don't get so many pets.

Children make the best pets. You usually die before they do, and they're so fun to mess with.

I'd say so. I'm only 20 and hence don't want to have kids for at least ten years yet, but I've got lots of little cousins who are still quite young.

[Descan]

I... don't like kids. Like, at all. :/

[Reudh]

Each to their own, Descan!

Some don't, some do.

[Knight of Fools]

You could always fire up Black and White and mess with the creatures. They're kind of child-like, they don't die (Permanently), and you don't have to clean up the mess, either!

At least, not if you don't want to.

Well. My dog just died today, at 1:30 AM. Despite the rain, me and my family manged to bury him.

I have an emptiness inside.

[Frumple]

Moral of the story?

It may sound cold, but don't get so many pets.

Executive decision, not my own, and many of the cats were strays of varying stripes or descendants of older cats (getting cat fixed is expensive, bluh.). I've personally chosen, captured, and housebroke one animal, and it was ultimately lost (after a year or two) when other domicile resident let it run off while I was living elsewhere for a bit

I do miss You, she was a beautiful black cat and very loving once fixed of being feral. Would sleep on top of me. Caused some trouble with breathing, but very warm.

Condolences Phantom. The emptiness will pass, eventually. Mostly.

It won't ever go away, you'll just forget it's there. Then something will make you remember and you'll be sad forever all over again.  :'|

Oh great and now the bakery's not selling chocolate rolls because pretzels.

The day's started with a fantuckingfastic start.

Rest in peace, my little kitties.

The family dog had to be put down earlier this year for quality of life reasons after 13 years. Pancreatic cancer the vet said was the most likely culprit, we knew she'd been having a lot of pain lately and she just wasn't herself. I think of her every time someone drops food on the floor, and she doesn't rush over to try to eat it. ._.

SO I had a really awesome game of Dungeons of Dredmore going. Had a pyromancer with leylines and blood magic that had four mastered skills and was completely demolishing the dungeon. I was on about floor 10, game crashes. Goddamnit. That's the most bullshit way for a game to end.

I do have a question for anyone that might have the answer. I was fireball spamming into a monster zoo, and all of a sudden I level up three times in a row. Like, you leveled up! Pick a skill. You leveled up! Pick a skill. You leveled up! Pick a skill. Back to back. I don't think there's anything in the game that gives that much experience, but I'm not sure... is there?
