I had to say goodbye to the goodest boy last night, my little Peanut. He was a Dachshund mix, 10 lbs. of love and unfailing good nature, but he was 14 years old and had all sorts of health issues. At about 6:00 PM he started seizing and I took him to the vet and they were so very kind and now he is gone. My hand keeps patting the bed next to my bum leg where he snuggled. Good night, sweet Peanut, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Sure does. I'm grateful for the time I had with him and for the supremely thoughtful vet who ended his suffering. Not my first rodeo, but it still sucks big time.

People are so weird. If you put a suffering animal to sleep, you're humane. If you put a suffering human to sleep, you're an animal.

Over the Rainbow Bridge, to where the toilet lids are always up, the cats are all lame, and Pupperoni bushes are ever blooming. Rest in Pooch.

He will be greeted by the many Wonkette kitties and dogs at the Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sorry. It was 7 years ago last week that Prudence left us, and I STILL look for her sometimes.

Love and hugs.

They burrow themselves so fully in our hearts, it feels like they become a part of us.

I actually equate it to losing a limb - you lose a part of your being.

I compare it to losing a finger - such a small thing, and yet you miss it like crazy when it's gone.
