Suela, you gave him a good life, and a good end.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

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?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I wish I had seen that earlier, Consuela. I would have gone. If you don't go, and want to go tomorrow, let me know.

I'm so sorry about the Beast, Suela. (But 15 is a very impressive age for a big dog, right?)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Consuela, my sympathies. Losing a pet is always hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
'Suela, you did the responsible thing. That's the problem with being a grown up. But--you also know you did the best thing, and the rest of you will catch up with that knowledge before long.
