I have better pics, just can't find them right now.

This is the first time I've said goodbye to a pet this way. When I was very young, my parents gave away two dogs. One because it would snap at my baby brother (good dog, just not good around young children), and another one who was always full of fleas no matter what my parents did to try to get rid of them. Back then I was just told that both ran away.

I guess I'm lucky. Both my parents, all four of my grandparents, and one great-grandparent are still living. I know people who have died but wasn't super close with them. So I'm not used to the whole death thing.

Although there's been a lot lately, one gal in OOT who put her horse down, that NVG where the guy disappeared and ended up dead, the whole Benoit thing.

And this guy in a 12-step meeting I was at had a seizure during the meeting on Thursday, had a heart attack shortly after and died Friday night. I didn't really know him or anything but still sad.

I guess death is part of life.
