When Was The Last Time You Cried?

I get choked up at sad movies that are on TV. I usually avoid them. I refuse to watch any of those animal shelter TV commercials. The gf and I quickly change the channel. I never cry over real life situations. I found, long ago, that crying never changed anything, so I decided it wasn't worth it. When my Mom passed away, over twenty years ago, I knew that if I started crying, I'd never stop, so I simply went on with my life.
 

Do you cry often or rarely?

I don't think too often, I cried hard over the loss of our friend a few days ago. I imagine many folks did.

But I do notice I sometimes cry over the silliest things. I can't remember exactly what the last thing was that was silly to cry over, but I've cried over burning a piece of toast. I beat myself up and even call myself a name like "you dummy". A gal-friend once asked me if I'd be that hard on anyone else burning a piece of toast (just an example, the toast I mean) and I said heavens no. Then she said than why be so hard on yourself.

I really don't have a good answer why I do that, I suppose I can blame it on hormones, or lack thereof, lol;)

Sometimes I think maybe I or someone else crying might be very healthy, sometimes. I feel like it's almost cleansing, sort of just letting it all out ya know. I feel better after I've cried over something, then I feel like I can carry on, like I dumped a load off, LOL!
 

I left the vet several months ago with my 13 1/2 year old Beagle in tow, after they told me he had liver cancer that had spread and an enlarged heart, but healthy heart, they said. Those days after that I couldn't think, eat, sleep, or care about anything. He is my best friend in the whole world! Well, it's been several months and he is still with me, Thank God!. I believe, at this point it is a benign tumor. They had only done an Ultrasound at that time because a biopsy would be too risky.

So....I live every day now like he is fine and continue to love and treat him like the "king" he is. :dog:

I don't know what it is about a dog (any pet) but I can still tear up when I remember my Toney-dog:) I don't know who's luckier, your doggy, or you:)
