It was definitely the right time. I'm glad I waited this long, but not longer.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Awww, Jesse. I'm sorry, and I'm glad that you feel it was the right time. You gave him a good life.

So, what was the worst was that workmen came into my apartment like 10 minutes before we were leaving to install a new smoke detector. And one was a cat lover! So he was petting Homer, and all, "I've never seen such a calm cat." I was like, yeah, because he's going to die in an hour. So of course I started crying. And now the nice, cute building management guy with them has only seen me at my absolute worst -- the other time was when I was home sick. So that's fun.

Because books.
Oh, Jesse. That's not fair. It does sound like you chose the right time to do it, though. I'm glad it was so peaceful for him.
Treat yourself to a cupcake?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe he'll be your Galahad, Jesse? Save you from the monsters?
Nah, I got nothing. But you've got wine! So that's a start.
I just ordered in lunch, and the woman on the other end of the line not so good with hearing what I was saying. The third time she had me repeat my credit card number, she only took 12 digits, and then moved on to the expiration date, and would not let me correct her. Given it took her five times to get the phone number, I had no confidence about which 12 digits she thought she had.
Then she put the phone down and walked away, so I hung up and called back, and thankfully got someone different. Order was placed in one shot, weirdly.

Trust my rage
When we had Toby put to sleep last month, I was really surprised at how sad I was. Like, I knew it was the right thing to do, but it still made me cry.

Yeah. When my old dog died (the Beast, as I used to call him), I sat on the floor of the little cubicle in the vet's office and cried for about ten minutes. He was my closest companion for fourteen years, after all.

It's super sad, you guys! I mean, they aren't people, but they live with you for years and years. And are awesome.

I was just thinking about a cupcake!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wine and cupcakes sound like a good plan. May flights of angels sing Homer to his rest....

Even though I didn't have Dean or Maddie for very long it still hit me hard. It 's always hard to lose a pet
