{{{{{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.

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?

{{{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.

I'm feeling a bit better now--as I go around the house straightening up, I'm finding more evidence of him vomiting in the corners. He was very uncomfortable for the last few days.
But I'm still sad.
Lee, some friends of mine are going and I'm meeting them there, so it looks like I'm going today. But the show is still going for another few weeks, and they do fun performances. It's an old WPA-era outdoor theater, with live oaks overhead and big stone steps to sit on (I bring cushions).

{{Consuela}} Everyone has already said anything I could add. It's a sad thing, even if it's the best that can be done. Our pets are so dependent on us, and they can't tell us what they're wishes are so we don't have that comfort, but I know you made the choice with love.
