  5. Dennis the dog. I cam home from my first term at university and asked where he was. My sister looked at me and did a silent slit throat action. Traumatic. RIP Dennis.

  7. My first pet was a hermit crab that died just a couple days after we purchased three of them (one each for my brothers and I). I was seven or so and my parents said, "It died." *Shrug* I was not emotionally invested.

  9. My first *real* pets were two mice, Cindy (Cinderella) and Snowy (Snow White), that I got for my 11th birthday. My parents didn't have to tell me anything because I was in middle school when they died of old age.

  10. @Seven, thank you! I'm hoping she lives forever, unlike all of the other pets in this post. :/

  11. A little puppy named Barbie. I was 4. She was run over by a car. I saw her corpse on the drive home. I got a nice fairy tale talk which included the all dogs go to heaven bit. I handled it well until I saw my grandmother, then I was uncontrollable for days.

  14. We never had a dog die until I was maybe 17. My dalmation had to be put down for distemper after she attacked our other dog right in front of us for seemingly no reason.

  16. Harry the hampster. He didn't wake up. They just said he died so I buried him in our vegetable garden and no one in the family ate rhubarb again.

  17. Tuffy the cat. I just knew she had died because she was ancient(I was 11 or 12).

  18. His name was Spike. I was 18 so they just told me he died on the way to the vet.

  19. Goldie the goldfish. I wasn't a particularly imaginative child. They told me that her tank mate, Jaws, ate her. She'd died and they flushed her in actuality. Not sure why they thought their story was less traumatizing.

  23. Puggy. And she didn't pass away, in our possession anyway. She got mean because my friend's evil little brother, Terrible Terrence, kept teasing her. She went on a vacation to the pound.

  24. This still chokes me up and it was a long time ago. He was a pure white german shepherd named Saint. He got hit by a car while we were at my grandfathers funeral When we came home, he wasn't there to greet us. I asked where he was, and that's when he told us.

  27. Spunky the cat was my first pet, my parents got her before I was born. Nobody had to tell me anything because I was 15 when she died so I knew what was going on. Spunky was super-old and grumpy by then and people would always laugh when we said her name was "Spunky".

  32. My mom told me he was dying. She was crying when I came home from kindergarten one day. I didn't have to ask.

  33. Goldfish. Our cat at it, so my mom just replaced it. Over and over and over. No need to explain death to a preschooler.

  34. Julie, a cocker spaniel. She was "stolen".

  35. I had a cherry tree, uprooted in hurricane. Me and my dad stood next to and he well thats it sweetheart. We had a puppy ; given away for wetting all over rug. Thats what we were told. We had another dog, a german shepard that was great but just too big for the hoyse. Dug holes the suze of craters, hopped over 6 ft fence like it was a pebble, so we actually did find people upstate with room to run to take dog. I guess im saying, my parents didnt lie. Just told us why and that was it. We were kids and used to that.

  36. Fluffy. She tried to kill my mother whenever my mother came down the basement stairs. So Mom called the SPCA, but told them they had to come while my Father was at work, because he would cry too much.

  37. Another time, my Mom came home from church and found my Dad, my brother and I conducting a funeral service around the toilet bowl for a goldfish. There were a lot of tears shed.

  38. My first pet was a dog, Sandy. We got her when I was about 18 months old. She died when I was 18. My mother told me Sandy had died. Before Sandy died, however, there were assorted birds, fish, and hamsters. From an early age, I was told they had died. There was no sugarcoating.

  41. My parents always told us the truth about what happened with our pets, and I really appreciate that. My first dog was Migo. I have had a million cats and have no idea what the first one was.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I was told the truth. However I was told a horse I used to ride had gone to a farm to be with kids who can't do things I can do. So I thought she's gone to a place for disabled kids. 15 years later...*lightbulb*

  43. my first dog's name was Hershey. I was studying abroad when I got the phone call my dog died. I just remember asking if everyone else was okay. I of course was devasted but trying to be strong. He was the best dog. Nothing can ever replicate your first dog/pet.
