Reaction
I’d like to thank the world for the large round of indifference regarding Kitt’s death. Somehow the fact that she was ‘only’ a guineapig makes people seem to think this invalidates my love for her and the deep pain I feel now she’s gone. Yes, she was a guineapig, but I loved her all the same, she was as much my family as anyone else. How can you put a value on love? Who is to say a guineapig is less deserving of love than humans? For that matter, who’s to say she wasn’t more deserving than a lot of people? My guineapig was loving and gentle and innocent and never hurt my feelings, did cruel things or behaved badly. From that perpective she’s better than a lot of people. Why shouldn’t I grieve her, she was important to me and I built part of my life around her and I loved her. Every time I walk past the pig cage it hurts to not see her little face looking up at me hoping for my attention. It’s like a gnawing hole in my chest. What I’d really like is to hit somebody, it makes me feel so angry that I couldn’t protect her from this.

I talked about it on my blog, PD.

Sorry if my silence due to reverence and respect for Kitt and your grieving process was in anyway mistook as indifference, when one chooses to say nothing it is hard to tell why
one does so.
You have every right to grieve and no-one should take that away from you.
If you want to hit somebody, I would recommend some deep breathing and relaxation.
Crying over spilt milk doesn’t it mop it up. Alternately hitting a punching bag or pillow
attached to a roof beam with rope may help relieve some stress.
Best wishes

I wasn’t necessarily talking about bloggers; more the people who go “oh, how sad” and then start talking about something totally superficial and stupid.
Thanks, Apple.

I change the subject because I don’t want whoever it is stuck on nothing but sad things >_>
Different people deal with different things in different ways.
