recoatliftI’m reading my future and the kind & understanding sincere replies, big pain & reality coming up.
Our Maggie is going on that journey tomorrow @11am. She’s 14, we’re going to hold her til the vet tells us to leave. I’m sure the vet has seen & heard a grown man break down, lump in my throat now. Boy, oh boy, hurt city U.S.A.

NMPinNYCThe House Dog's Grave ( Haig , an English bulldog )
I've changed my ways a little : I cannot now
Run with you in the evenings along the shore,
Except in a kind of dream : and you, if you dream a moment,
You see me there.
So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door
Where I used to scratch to go out or in,
And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor
The marks of my drinking-pan.
I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do
On the warm stone,
Nor at the foot of your bed; no, all the night through
I lie alone.
But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet
Outside your window where firelight so often plays,
And where you sit to read -- and I fear often grieving for me --
Every night your lamplight lies on my place.
You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard
To think of you ever dying
A little dog would get tired, living so long.
I hope then when you are lying
Under the ground like me your lives will appear
As good and joyful as mine.
No, dear, that's too much hope : you are not so well cared for
As I have been.
And never have know the passionate undivided
Fidelities that I knew.
Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided....
But to me you were true.
You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend.
I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures
To the end and far past the end. If this is my end,
I am not lonely, I am not afraid, I am still yours.
Robinson Jeffers. 1941.

Rey HRHThat's a good decision you made. I can't see making our pets suffer beyond their normal cycle just for us. My dogs are 7 years old now and I do think about that.

irreverentI’ve read the words: “grief is love with nowhere to go” maybe here, maybe somewhere else. It made sense to me.
I’m sorry for your loss.

I wish I had the words.
I think only Time can be given. It's not fair.
