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.

I was speaking metaphorically in my post to turtle.

However, new research shows that the bond between humans and their pet dogs in fact emulates/parallels the bond between parent and child.

...What are the roots of the intense bonding that occurs between humans and dogs? Scientists at the University of Veterinary medicine in Vienna have found that the bond between dogs and their owners shares striking similarities to the relationship between human parents and their children.

...The relationship between pet owners and dogs parallels the deep connection formed between young children and their parents. The Vienna veterinary study was published in the journal PLOS ONE on June 21, 2013. This is the first study to trace the roots of this bonding between dogs and their owners back to the “Secure Base Effect.”

Secure Base Effect is a fundamental part of parent-child bonding. Human infants literally view their caregivers as a “secure base” when it comes to gaining confidence for interacting with the environment inside and outside the home. Until now, Secure Base Effect had not been thoroughly examined in dogs and their owners. The Vienna study provides the first evidence of the similarity between the Secure Base Effect found in dog-owner bonds as it parallels child-caregiver relationships. The researchers intend to follow up this investigation with a direct comparative study between dogs and children...There is no denying that pets become like family to their owners and that the family dog views his or her caregivers as surrogate parents....

It certainly does for a fraction of single white women.

It's a form of mental illness.
