I’ve owned dogs for forty years.

They die.

Get over it.

This is likely to get those who think there is a "snowflake" generation howling in an apoplexic rage but is there a case to be made here? Personally think the lady should have just rung in sick but a bit of compassion from her employer wouldn't have gone amiss.

Always been happy to hand out bereavement leave in these circumstances, it can be every bit as upsetting as losing a human family member. What's the point of forcing someone to work when they're obviously not in the right state of mind?

Now the argument becomes any pet or just dogs?

Where will all this bereavement madness end?

I went away last weekend. I think maggots escaped from a bait tub sometime last week. When I got home my house was full of flies. Fuckin' loads of 'em dead now and I'm gutted. They were my pets. I expect at least a month on the sick grieving for each and every one of them: /

If I get an ant farm I could take a year out

I think you're barking up the wrong tree mate.
