Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

{{{Consuela}}} I'm so sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I know you didn't do anything terrible - he knew it too. {{Consuela}} and now I am tearing up too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aw, Consuela. You did right by him. It's so hard losing a pet, even when you're prepared for it.

Suela, you gave him a good life, and a good end.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's never easy and even though it's the right thing to do, it certainly isn't the easiest. Losing a pet sucks hard core. Keep strong and have some drinks.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

{{{{{Suela}}}}}} I am so so sorry. You did the right thing for him, but that doesn't make your loss any easier. He had a good life with you and you made his passing as easy and painless as possible.

{{{Consuela}}} I'm so sorry. It's the right thing to do, but terribly hard.

Thanks, folks. I'll try not to weep all over the thread.

Any Bay Area-istas interested in some free theater this afternoon? Shotgun Players are doing Ragnarok in North Berkeley, and I may go. Battles, giant snakes, and genderbending gods, what's not to love?
