When is it OK for a grown man to cry?

If you don't cry when your dog dies, you're either a rock or you didn't love the dog like a friend. But then, most people really do consider them pets and not friends. Goldfish, hamsters, birds. Those are pets.

Almost. Right at the end when he sacrifices himself to save the kid. But I stopped because I realized he was saving all the cocksucking warmongering assnecked army guys too.

Now excuse me while I go hug a tree and stick my dick in some tofu.

I can't imagine coming home from work everyday and not being welcomed by my golden. If all your dog is to you is a pet, maybe, but ours is truly a family member.

Dude,

You are -RONG- you are allowed to cry when your dog dies. The one movie that these guys forgot to mention (probably because they are either too young, or they are bitches posing as men) Old Yeller!!!

Dammit!

I agree with the Old Yeller comment, but most dogs these days (especially pampered, city/suburban dogs) are not Old Yeller!! How many of your dogs would attack a wild bore in order to save you?

Maybe it is because I grew up on a farm and have a different understanding of animals than most, but I haven't cried over a dog dying since I was 12. Sure, animals can be awesome pets and I believe dogs in particular are a gift from God. However, I would not elevate them to the status of the family and friends in my life...I choose not to degrade the people in my life to that status.

Its too bad I am moving this week and my books are packed in boxes because there is a wonderful passage by Tolkien in his essay "On Fairy Stories" which brilliantly states what I am trying to say, but much more eloquently.

of the entire family, I try to be the one who 'professes' to not be as attached to the dogs as much as the others... but when I'm alone with my 15 yr old sheltie and know he might not have too much longer... but he's been a damn good pet... not sure how I'll react... but pretty sure I know... badly

Man.........ya'll are a bunch of homos.


I hate dogs. People who like dogs are pussies.


Wait what was this thread about again? I am confused.

Oh I thought of one. How bout if you're a siamese twin, your brother is gay, has a date coming over, and you only have one ass.
