Please pardon me if this is just silly but I am so tired of constantly seeing commercials about cat food, litter, etc! "It's the good life, full of fun, blah, blah, blah". Since Mama has died it seems like this is all that is on tv. It makes me cry everytime. I'll be doing fine and blam! Damn commercial comes on and I'm blubbering again. Ok, I think I feel a little better. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hi K.L., don't apologize for your feelings...its those strange experiences that bring back the pain, sometimes out of nowhere and unexpected...we have adopted a new puppy this past month after 6 months without my boy, and part of me still doesn't feel right, I am blessed to have this little fuzzy love to care for again, thank god for that, but it will never be the same as it was with my boy, still that hole in my heart, it can never be filled..sigh! I guess thats life...I am sorry for the raw pain you are dealing with its terrible, and even after 6 months, although thats seems so amazingly short since he was with me for more that 14 yrs, anyway...I understand, there is one dog food commercial that really makes me cry, the one that talks about stages in life, puppy, adult, then senior, and that just rubs the salt into the wounds about the aging process and life cycle...it always makes me cry...what's the matter with these people, to me I think thats the worst thing to be reminded about eventually they die...sorry if that was harsh...I do understand.

Hi Kittylove, I know what you mean, for me T.V. is like a escape from reality. Something to keep my mind occupied so I don't think of my furbaby.But then dogfood commercials come on and I'm back to reality. Don't feel silly about it because we all do it. We just miss our friends. Take care

I get upset every time I walk down the pet aisle. I force myself to do it and then I start thinking of how many times I bought special food for my baby...and now I don't.

Thanks everyone.

John, you are way more brave than I am. I avoid the pet food aisle like the plague!!!

Kittylove--

I understand completely--I just lost my Missy yesterday--she jumped into my clothes dryer and I did not see her this time--

I replaced the dryer today--my husband's suggestion--and now when I go to do laundry--WOW!!!!!!!--as she loved to sit in my baskets of dirty laundry--and she's not there--so everytime I go into the garage--I come out crying--and still can't beleive what happened--

My thoughts are with you!!!!!

Oh those darn commercials! I so know what you mean! The evening of the day I had to put my sweet Murphy down (two weeks ago), the TV kept playing the same commercial on every station I switched to! The one about "the good life, etc. etc." It was ripping my heart out to see those happily prancing doggies and know that mine was gone!

The one that kills me is the one with the dog singing, there ain't no bugs on me.

It just makes me think of my cat being so infested before he got to the hostpital.

nope its not silly . i cry everytime i see a cat commercial. i cant even walk down the pet isle . all i see is the kitty food.toys. etc...i avoid it . its like i have to put blinders on. my dtr has even re directed me when we start to get close to it in the store.. i completely understand.
