When I lost my first dog, insensitive comments were upsetting and made me feel guilt over mourning my dog for so long.  Comments like: "You're family is healthy, be grateful," made me wonder if I was selfish or stupid feeling so sad over her loss.  Of course I was not wrong.  She was my best friend.  Our family member.  We had the right to mourn her.

So today, we have listed some hurtful comments mourning pet owners hear.  We have also provided alternate responses people can use when comforting a pet owner who recently lost their four-legged fur baby.
