I was the only person who didn't cry at my grandpa's funeral, and I was worried people might think I was a sociopath or something.
Is it weird that I was more upset about my dog dying than my grandpa dying?

Idk it depends. I didn't know one of my grandpa's very well so I didn't cry when he died either.

He had dementia, and once he forgot who I was, I realized he was already gone. When he finally passed, I actually felt relieved.
Seeing him decline in the nursing home was way more difficult for me than him dying.
Maybe this is a bit heavy for an rDrama comment.

my mother said that watching his terminal lucidity was a massive kick in the guts.

Yeah, he suddenly remembered everyone when he was on his deathbed.
My dad was really upset over him passing and I kept trying to remind him that my grandpa wouldn't have wanted to keep living confined to a bed anyway.

It's to be expected that your grandparents die before you. And most likely you knew it was coming, unless it was some accident. If they're in a nursing home and need more and more help you know it's going to happen eventually. And you do prepare yourself for that.
Pets are a bit different. Though most people overdo it with the "fur baby" shit, they are dependent on us and are more like children. You see them grow and while you do know they will die before you, it's still a bit different. It's usually also more random - while you know they're going to die eventually of old age it can happen fast within 1-2 weeks.
