Duke's Last Day

Duke's Last Day

A friend of mine had to put his dog down a few years ago. He said they spoiled her rotten on her last day, letting her eat a steak and as much chocolate as she could gobble down before the vet came by to euthanize her.

While Duke had a great day, I wonder if he knew it would be his last.

Same here, Tom Gehrke. My Rufus is almost 10 and I've wondered if he'd make it to the point where I have to make this decision. I don't think I could. As soon as the vet came close to him with the needle I'd probably hurt the vet.

We actually have cats that my wife had from before we were married. The older they get the closer I know we're coming...

Don't care what the animal is, the attachment sure can be deep.

A grand-dog was just put down earlier this week - the big C got her as well.  Bella was about 13.
Yes, I sobbed quietly as I read this story later that evening.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
