I'm about to take my dog to the vet.
There's a good chance he won't come back. (His kidneys are failing, he won't eat anything, and everything he's eaten in the last 3 days he's vomited up.)
I am, oddly, not weepy. He's been ailing gradually for the last year, so I've had lots of time to prepare for this. And he's 15, so it's not like he didn't get a good long life.
But it's sad.
Later.
Oh, Consuela, I'm so sorry. Let me know if you want to go do something mindless/distracting tomorrow.
Connie, I'm so sorry.
Sending warm thoughts and Peace your way Consuela
Poor Suela and dog of Suela. I am sending dog~ma your way.

It's done. I was okay until the vet started tearing up. And then they did it, and he just put his head down and now I can't stop crying.
I feel like I did something horrible. He was 15 and his kidneys and liver were failing and he felt horrible and going up and down stairs hurt and I still feel awful.

You didn't do anything awful, Consuela. You gave him a great life, and an easy and painless end. I know that doesn't stop you from feeling awful, but it's still true.
I know you didn't do anything terrible - he knew it too. {{Consuela}} and now I am tearing up too.
