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.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's super sad, you guys! I mean, they aren't people, but they live with you for years and years. And are awesome.
Treat yourself to a cupcake?
I was just thinking about a cupcake!

Wine and cupcakes sound like a good plan. May flights of angels sing Homer to his rest....

Thrive to spite them
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

Not sure what "a" cupcake is. I thought you had to eat them in pairs and to do otherwise is a faux pas. Do I misunderstand?

Much love to you, Jesse. I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh askye, I think that would be even harder. I had the consolation that at least he was old.

Hee. If I can make it out in public, I will take that under advisement. I mean, I wouldn't want to do it wrong.

Time spent with cats is never wasted. - Sigmund Freud
I don't think our society properly respects the grief of pet widows. If your mother lives out of town, you may see her 20 days a year. You spend 24 hours a day with a pet. They are far more part of the fabric of everyday life.
I know you and Homer will miss each other, but never regret the days you were together.
