I had to put my 13-year-old pug to sleep today, and damn if it didn't bother me a lot more than both my parents going within six weeks of each other. That doesn't make much sense to me. But no more pugs for me. That's the second one I've had to down.

Our furry friends grace our lives for too short a time.
They bring out the best in us.
They give us unqualified love all the time - no expectations - just love.
I hope your pain diminishes over time. It will never go away completely.
They are your children and that's why you grieve their passing more than that of your parents.
It's expected that you would outlive your parents. You and they prepare and understand that eventuality.
But parents never want to outlive their children.
That's the pain you are feeling now. That's how I felt when I was in your position and that's how I came to understand why it was so.

No they're not.
