It's only fair, don't you think?

Must remember to hug my boss. He really understands his staff and always says to us "take as long as you need" no matter what the circumstances. Tends to have the effect of making us feel better and actually want to make the effort to come to work.

I couldn't agree more. It is like a bank account, generally, if you (the employee) makes lots of deposits into it, when it comes time for a withdrawal, the bank (employer) approves or authorizes it. Not all the time, but, most of the time, IME.

Yes, I agree that we should be able to take time off after the loss of a pet if we feel we need to. In the past I've just taken one day off for my RB Pepper and my RB Starr but that was also the same day that they were PTS which just happened to be a work day. I still wasn't ready to go back to work yet but I did. I also used a vacation day for this.

Since my current vet works on Sundays I decided that this would be a better day to have Sunny PTS so I didn't have to miss work. I really should've taken Mon. off because I was still in a lot of pain. Work does help me keep my mind off of things but on my breaks or even while driving to or from work I'll catch myself thinking about Sunny and I'll start getting all teary eyed again. My boss is understanding about this because he too has lost some pets before so he knows the pain that people go through.
