| do you cry I cry when I read about a lost dog or an injured puppy. I can't read a sad story about a dog with a dry eye. I try and avoid anything on YT that may make me cry. I don't know why, I don't cry about sad "people stories", just animals. I stupidly read about the puppy that was steped on and paralyzed and have not been able to get that out of my head. I guess I am just nuts.. . Fine vet I would be........... |

| I know what you mean......I just can't make myself go to the "In memory of" section. I'm on YT a lot a work, and have had people ask me more than once what's wrong because I'm sitting here boo-hooing over the post about Yoshi, Minnie and all the other sad stories. It just hits too close to home I guess; our babies can be so fragile.

| I am "bad", too, about crying when reading/ hearing about stories where an animal is hurt or has passed on. And I try to steer clear of any kinds of adoption places as I have a hard time NOT bringing them all home with me. We went a couple of years ago to a local animal shelter to help my mom pick out a cat and came home with two ourselves. Mind you, we already had two at home. My two sons are the same way.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Some stories I don't read past the headline. Like the one on YT the other day "Dog Set On Fire While Giving Birth" or something like that. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it.

| I'm the same way!!! I cry over the animal stories. They're just so innocent and love unconditionally. They are your friends no matter what! They don't talk back or say mean things to you! People are different. They can be so mean and not even know they're doing it!

| I'm the same: anything to do with animals or children.....I think its because I always imagine how I would feel if that was my child or dog or cat.....

| YES!! I am the same way with children, too. Oh and the elderly. Hubby is a nurse and comes home with some heartwrenching stories of patients from nursing homes who have been abused or neglected...makes me bawl like a baby!

| I am very mushy too. I cry when I see sad stories and wish I could help every dog and people in need. Its just hard.

BANNED FOR NOT SENDING A GE GIFT! | Crying I feel exactly the same way. I can deal with sick and injured PEOPLE much easier than sick and injured animals. Any animal, but especially cats and dogs. I think it is because they have no control over who they are with, or what is done to them....I even feel terrible when I hear about pit bulls being raised to fight, then the group being busted and the dogs being put to sleep. It is not the animals fault. I think there is a special place in HELL for people who are mean and abuse animals. |

| I not only cry but worry myself sick when I read those stories. I read them and often times cant post as I am lost for words. However they never leave my thoughts and it makes me sick. I feel so bad for those who lose their beloved pets too.

| I'm trying to stay ayaw from the really sad ones too. I worried about the Yorkie in a shelter that kills, an he had one day left to live. It was in another state----too far away for me to even attempt to do anything about it. There was a picture of him behind the fence at the shelter. I was so happy to read that someone adopted him.

| I'm the same way. I try to stay away from the upsetting stories but sometimes I start reading one before I realize where it's going. I also can't watch the dog rescue stories on TV. I can't get the horrible pictures out of my mind after I turn the show off. |
