I took a half day personal time after we had to euthanize my cat, Bogey. Barfing in the parking lot of the vet's carrying my empty cat carrier home pretty much helped me make that decision.
Tommy, I'm sorry for your loss.
My head hasn't stopped hurting all day, hasn't responded to painkillers and now nausea is setting in.
ita, I have no idea how you cope with this day in and day out.

Wow, maybe it's a sign that it's bedtime when I read the word
ageless
and pronounce it aga-LESS-ee (yeah, I don't know where the extra ee sound on the end came from either) in my head. Maybe it's because I had to tilt my head sideways to read it. That's my story, anyway.
Happy birthday , Sean.
and take the day off it it makes sense to you, tommyrot. When our Bert died - I don't even remember what I did. I know I left early from work. for his last day. But there is no point being at work if you are falling apart. Both Matt and I still choke up when we think about him.
I'm so sorry about Senor Sock, tommyrot.
Also, they gave me a little clay pad with his pawprints on it.
That is really sweet. And, take the day off if you want/need to. If you don't feel comfortable saying why, lie. My former workplace would have been very supportive of taking a day off for a deceased pet.
Ginger's former supervisor, however, needs Aimee-level smiting.
Also, happy birthday, Sean!
I'm so sorry Tommy.
Clio is here sending her condolences too. She wants me to say that I should tell you to take the day off, and then I should go upstairs and feed her.
