I'm so sorry for your auntie's loss
Only another pet owner that has lost a pet can understand. I can bet that the stupid person who made this comment has never lost a pet of 10 yrs! My sister inlaw had a tiny chihuahua for about 16 yrs. She was like 1.5 lbs. everyone called her Chiquita (spanish for tiny) She had no real attatchment to the chihuahua. She fed her and cleaned up after her, made sure she had little blankets around the house to nap in. But not like us here. She woke up one morning after having this dog for almost 16 yrs and found her stiff on the floor. She has never been able to talk about it without breaking down and crying.After losing her she realized just how much of a bond she had with this little dog for all these yrs. There is noway you can explain to a "stupid" person what it feels like emotionally and physically to lose a pet.
