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.
{{Consuela}} I'm so sorry, that was a hard choice, but a wise one. May he find many rabbits to chase and bones to gnaw, whatever it is dogs dream of.
I'm so sorry, Consuela. He was a good dog.
Oh, Suela. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how difficult it is, but you made the right decision.
I'm sorry for your loss, Suela. You did give him a good life and a peaceful end.
I'm so sorry for your loss Consuela.
Oh, Suela, I'm so sorry. It must have been awful to see such a sweet, good-natured boy as your Beast was in such pain. I'm so sorry for the hole he's left in your life, but so glad you were able to give him release from that pain with his loving human by his side. And I'm glad you have friends right there to be with you this afternoon.
