Guys, calm down!  Angel, can you please stop flipping out everytime someone says something blunt?  I know it can boil the blood a bit, but try taking a step back to cool off before replying.  That way you can go over it again and see if they really did mean to be hurtful or rude.

Brooke, you seem the type to tell it exactly how you see it.  That's great, and I know this is a touchy subject anyways, but you did word your first sentence with a bit of an offensive ring.  That's why she's wigging out on you.

And as to the poll, I agree it's all three.  It's emotionally devastating, it's pure sorrow and agony, and just on over-all terrible thing to go through.

Did you ever stop and think that maybe the other is for if someone would rather say "devastating", or something they feel better represents their emotion, because some terms dont quite get the point across?

I for one cant even think of a term that represents how much luckys tragedy has affected me.

back to the poll.

i can think of alot of diffrent terms. The reason its so hard to let go of a dog, is because a dog is the one thing that loved you more than itself.    And my experiences with Lucky (cocker spaniel 10/8/06-12/17/07), and hazel (rhodisian ridgeback 07/18/05-present), its ENTIRELY true.

back to the poll:

i would have to say other, because there are so many emotions you go through.devastation, sometimes remorse. Its a whirlwind of emotions.        From my experiences, the reson its so hard to let go is because they love you more than themselves.
