I love my pets just as much as I love my friends and family members.
In fact..... my childhood cat (whom I had to put down when she was 13 - I was 21)... was the hardest thing I've done. I still dream about her (I'm turning 30 in a few months) and wake up sad and crying. Keep in mind, I didn't shed a tear over either of my grandma's nor my aunt. Yet I still cry about my cat.
The hardest part about having pets is knowing that you will definitely outlive them. They'll never abandon you and you won't drift apart - you'll always be together, which means that you will still be in their life when they die.
