I am sorry to hear it. A few years ago I lost my beautiful border collie dog.

I adore my cat, I'm very sorry for your loss. I love dogs too.

Hi all. I am Maysaa from the Middle East. I really know what you have passed. I also had a cute cat her name was '"Watfa". I missed her a lot, she used to sleep behind me. And I used to hear her breathe. One day I have accepted in the university, it is far away from my hometown 100k.m. so I had to take a hostel with other girls and they didn't allow us to bring pets.Unfortunately, after one month from my absence, she passed away because of sadness. I blame my self for leaving her. when I got back to home. I keep cry for days then I decided not to bring any more cats. Just she will be my favorited one for ever.

Marc and ㅞ 마릌, it would be better to say "I really dislike it that there are people who kill animals for fun." Pleasure would be ok to use also but fun is a little better for this use. Also, using "kill" is better for refering to animals, or plants. Kill can also be use to refer to people but "murder" is really only correct for illegal killing of a person. The word "homocide" is another word you will see and is used much the same as murder. "The cause of death was murder" 'The cause of death was homocide." have exactly the same meaning but "He was murdered" is more specific than "he was killed" but both are correct. þoomÿ, I am very sorry to hear about your dog. It is horrible to have a pet die this way. The only thing I would change in your writing would be to use past-tense when describing your dog. "her name was Ouch" "she was a cute rottweiler" and "she was a funny dog". Past tense is used in this case because the dog is no longer alive. The same is used when refering to a person who has died, no matter how recently, "he was a good man" "he loved his family" "he was a good friend and neighbor". ㅞ 마릌 , you should say "I am not a native English speaker either." Sometimes people will use neither when they should use either but it is incorrect and makes the speaker sound uneducated. The sentence "Neither of us are native English speakers." would be a correct use of "neither". By the way, I am a native English speaker. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

Thank you friends for your concern!!! someone poisoned my dog...he is the old man who hate every pet! he ever killed my neighbor's dogs but we can't do anything! I tried so hard to just accept it! :(
