I'm sorry to rain on that parade, but that last paragraph is really glued on there. I don't disagree with the sentiment, but that exposition went straight in to a brick wall.

#32I tried. I tried really hard. I really wanted to see it this way. But hey. Sorry. I can't. This is just a mockery to me. I can't stand it anymore, happy faces, banal everyday stories "what are you doing tonight? I am… blah blah!". So you are happy, you are doing fine. Great. I can't help myself. Sorry. I don't mean it, you're fine person, I am sure you are. But I hate you. (Pardon me, HN. I don't feel good after read…

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Having been present at my own dog being put to sleep, I can say being put to sleep can be pretty awful for the animal, too. My dog had terminal cancer, and was clearly suffering, but given the choice, he would have chosen to live. He certainly struggled to live as he was dying. I don't profess to know what the right thing to do in these situations is, and I am not saying that you are wrong, just that it is not so cle…
given the choice, he would have chosen to live How would you know something like that?
I too would feel far to guilty keeping that poor animal alive, for my own enjoyment, while he suffered so much. This is not a feel good story to me.

#40Domestic animals give love freely to the least deserving, but their lives are short and their ends are often brutal. And it’s worth it. It is all worth it. Every day, even a sad day blurred by headaches and filled with business meetings, is magical and infinite. I know this is hn, but thanks for the great thoughts. This is the first time I have talked about this... On October 8, 1991, we found a box on our front porc…
My dog died on March 30 and I had a new puppy by April 21, despite the inevitable feelings of guilt from doing it so soon.
