My last goldfish Silver Rainbow died three days ago. I burried it and then felt depressed all day.
Now three days has passed and I start to feel better. In fact I feel relieved. When Silver Rainbow was alive I was worried all the time. I was afraid my goldfish got infections or illnesses. I avoided making noise by not turning on my speakers near the fish tank. Now I don’t need to worry about my pets. I can sing loud and dance hard beside the fish tank.
Yeah I am always very sad when I lose my pets but there is also a sense of relief because the responsibility is gone. It was nice not to have a cage to worry about cleaning or to have to worry about my dog hearing me at night and barking or just the many other misc things that go into pet care.
Still, I don’t think I can be fully happy without animals around so I will have pets when I have my own place
