Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. I have that coming up soon - Max is on her last legs - and I'm dreading it. Still bright eyed and all - like the vet said though "it's a shame when the body falls apart around the brain".

I've told myself for a few years now that I should hope for the opportunity to put Max down. Dogs don't just die in their sleep anymore - if you don't put them down it's probably because something much worse happened like hit by a car or worse, gets lost and disappears. So I thought putting Max down would be the best of all possible outcomes. But the closer it gets the harder that is to remember.

I'm really sorry you had to do that. I don't think I can imagine it.

But ... I like the prime rib idea - I think I'll do the same.
