since becoming a pet owner, i have become so sensitive to those tear-jerking human interest stories on pets. the companionship and care that exists between a pet owner and their pets has really changed me. my kitties are part of my family, and it feels strange and difficult to be away from them for long periods of time. and when i see sad stories (albeit with happy endings) about pets, it makes me think of what i might feel like should anything (knock on wood) ever happen with my shmittens. and when i think about that, i get sad and anxious and immediately have to think about something happier, like ice cream or any other good memory, because i can't think about that for too long.
case in point: this story. it was talked about on anderson cooper last night, and i started to cry watching those poor dogs, and how sweet it was that the second dog was watching gaurd over the injured dog, and then my thoughts turned to OMG what about all the other pets who were lost or abandoned due to the tsunami, and is that injured dog gonna be ok (yes, he is in a clinic as is his "gaurdian" dog friend). and then it was about "what about the poor dog's owner, who must be worried sick about what became of his/her beloved pet", etc etc etc.
i am becoming such a softie in my old age, you guys. its not a bad thing, i'm just sayin, is all.
