Is it normal to take time off work to grieve for a pet?

My guinea pig died but they won't let us take time off for that so I told them my mom died.

    I had a college professor take off a semester because all his cats died

    Sorry about your loss. Cat or dog works much better I've found out in my years. Good luck
