Loss

Well some people deserve to die and some people don't.

Look, having a monster in your family and living the life he wants you to live is never a good idea.

nope

probably but not because I'm nuts, I can deal with them, but one at the time

look, I'm not absorbed with death, some people are simply a big problem and avoiding problems is a good idea, but the problem is that it does not always lead to a solution, endings are sometimes the sad necessity

what does deserve have to do with it?  it happens & has to happen.

No it does not have to happen, chances for that to happen are actually slim, it happens only once in a lifetime, and anyway it's not that a sick animal deserves to live and suffer till his imminent death.

In the midst of life we are in death  etc   :(  

People sent flowers to the set of MASH when Colonel Blake died.

I've been to a number of funerals during my life... friends, acquaintances and family members, but have yet to blub. Even as a kid, I couldn't drum up anything in the way of emotion. Death seems to me, just to be part of the deal. I put it down to a lack of empathy.

Yes, me too. I remember sobbing for hours about my tortoise dying when I was about 6. 

Maybe the first cut is the deepest ...  

I guess you  toughen up, learn to deal with death, but its still sad sometimes. 

Did that today. (Picture of cat.) It is mighty sad stuff.

yes, very sad to hear that Spud.

That is very sad :( sorry Spudsy

I'm sorry.

Sorry man. I don't have pets but I can imagine.

He was the best kitty ever. Lots of personality. And a bit of a beggar at the dinner table.

Cats are people too.
