Piecing - Round 1

[Denver_2010]

A quick response to my post about my moral dilemma...

I absolutely support my W when it comes to this. If she is not comfortable with it, my friend will not be in our fantasy football league. I don't have even the slightest desire to NOT take my W's side on this. I threw the situation out there more to see what others might think.

Update:

So my dog and best friend for the past 15 years passed away on Monday. She got really ill early on Sunday morning and quickly went down hill. I had to put her down on Monday evening. It was the hardest decision that I have ever had to make. But on Monday afternoon, after me asking her to tell me what to do, she told me. She could not lay down on her own. She was almost literally sleeping standing up, and leaning on things. Late on Sunday I was able to lay her down and get her to sleep. She would lay there as long as I layed next to her, which I did for much of the last 24 hours. I laid her down on Monday at 2:45 and she was not to get up again. When I tried to get her up to go to the vet, she was unable to. I carried her to my car and laid her down on her dog bed. She was awake. My W drove the car. I sat in the back seat, petted her, and repeated what a good dog she was the entire trip. When we got to the vet, they had received results from blood work that had been done on Sunday evening. The conclusion was that she most likely had liver cancer. I decided to put her to sleep. My W, SS and myself sat with her for a while and said our goodbyes. I laid down next to her as the doctor did what he had to do. She was the best dog ever.

My W and SS both cried over her loss. Obviously I did as well. I have been devestated. But I know that she lived a long, great, life. She was 2 months shy of 15 years old. I will miss her dearly.

W left work early on Monday and took Tuesday off to spend with me. Today she left me a card with the sweetest message. That she loved me and that she wished that she could take away the pain that I am feeling. She also sent me flowers this afternoon.

I'm grieving. But I am okay.
