I cried when I learnt of the death of our dog Oscar when I returned from travelling a few years back. He was a border collie, a rescue dog. and the most wonderful friend. Couldn't have another dog now.
My wifes cat is now 14. Our house is up for sale. and she's sad that she'd allways thought the cat would live out her life in this house and be buried under the apple tree at the end of the garden.
I told her this could still be arranged.
Only joking.
