Thank you, that was a typo that has since been corrected.

Sony condones rape and abusive behaviour. Good to know. #boycott Sony

Our 13 year old lab just died a few months ago. I haven’t lived with her for years, and really only lived with her for 3-4 of those years, but I cried off and on all day. The first time I went back to visit and didn’t hear her nails tapping on the floor I started crying. I’ve lost 3 and it never gets any easier.…

My older dog Bailey is ten now and really starting to act like an old lady. (Physically, that is. She’s always been a cranky old bitch in temperament.) A few weeks ago the vet suggested doing her “senior” blood work, and I nearly freaked out because calling her a senior dog means I have to consider her mortality, and…

He’s doing much better! I worked from home Wednesday and Thursday to stay with him (he spent 24 hours in the hospital before that), and he was noticeably improved each day. Wednesday he was trying to chase squirrels on our walks, and yesterday he was back to bouncing with joy whenever I picked up his leash and…

Oh jeez. Second round of tears now. :(

This beautiful boy was a major part of my life for almost 15 years. I was a lonely, friendless child, and he made me happy. When I was fifteen and he was only five, someone kicked him; rupturing his chest wall, breaking his ribs, and displacing his vital organs. Somehow, he survived the thirteen surgeries that…

I am so sorry, I don’t know if it will help you, but we have put three cats to sleep over a decade, and it has been heartbreakingly sad but so loving, if you think how few people are held and whispered to while they die, being put to sleep while you are held, snuggled in a warm blanket is far better than what most…

I would echo your comment - a year ago in December I had to face the fact that my 20-year old baby girl had had enough and was ready to go. I found a service that came to our home to do it, and it was a very gentle and loving experience. The vet could not have been more caring, and it meant so much to say goodbye in a…

Right? My dog is getting up there in age, and my parents let it slip that they’ve started putting aside vacation time every year for the impending massive meltdown I’ll have. I think Louis C.K. called pets a heartbreak waiting to happen.

Thank you.

I’m so sorry. I put my cat down a year and a half ago. My advice— be there when they do it, because they will look for you if you’re not. Hold him and tell him how much you love him and pet him in his favorite spot. You will be surprised how ready they are. You will cry your face off, but the vet doesn’t mind. It’s…

JUST GONNA SIT OVER HERE CRYING GUYS. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve owned both cats and dogs and losing them opens up a hole in your heart that can shock you, especially if you aren’t prepared for the pain. You did a great thing by providing him with a home while he was here. You’re good people.

As someone who owns an incredibly annoying, vocal, face punching, smothering, Siamese cat...I feel you so hard right now. She is the absolute worst and we call her bitch kitty. We love her...and can’t stand her. We adopted her, and love her, and pledged our lives to her so she’s going to be with us until the day she…

How painful that you couldn’t be there at the end. But your writing is wonderful. Give yourself some downtime; it takes the pain a long time to lose its sharp edge, but it really never goes away.

It’s a good thing my dog is going to live forever and I won’t have to go through this.

I am in tears at my desk reading this beautiful eulogy for your beloved pet. There is nothing that compares to the death of a loved one, be them human or pet, annoying or loving. Even with knowing that a pets life expectancy was typically going to be less than yours facing the reality of it is always the hardest…

This made me ugly cry.

Tomorrow AM I am putting my 19 year old cat to sleep. He’s been sick for almost a year, and lately he has gotten so much worse. I’ve been looking for any excuse to not go though with it, but his pain is getting harder for him to hide and it’s time. I’ve had him all of my adult life and he has…

all I got out of this : Emma Thomson and Watson are awesome !!!
