I know right? I never owned pets until recently...though, to be fair, I'm not sure I really "own" Damien so much as he just lives here....still, I'd be really sad if he disappeared like that. He may use me as a chew toy, and destroy some of my stuff, but he's been a pretty faithful companion otherwise. If I went 14 years without him thinking he was dead in a hurricane only to be reunited with him, I'd be a mess of tears and happiness.
