So, I am reading a microblog, and the author has written that a puppy has died.  

So, the first person responded with a picture of Olive Oil, slapping her arm across the air, and yelling "YES!".  This is totally true.  You can't make this stuff up.

The second person responded, by showing a cartoon cat, weeping two fountains of tears.  Like I said, I am not making this up.

The third person responded by writing "Painted Orange!".  I really wish I was making this up.  

Am I missing something?   I wrote "I am terribly sorry".  Was I wrong to do that?  Granted, people should not communicate on hear as if we were their close relatives or friends.  Still, do we have to make a big joke out of a dog dying?  

I really hope I was missing something.
