Brownie, our oldest dog, died today. Euthanesia was better than letting lymphoma kill her.

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you.

Thanks. She was getting old and crotchety, and was losing her eyesight and her earing. My one wish is that, when those suspicious lumps appeared on her back, we should have waited for the test results before having the tumors removed. Because we didn't wait, she spent her last days sore and drugged out.

You did what you thought was best at the time. At least she was in the care of people who loved her.

My condolences. It's always hard to lose a family member.

Oh, Serge, I'm so sorry. She's beautiful, and was clearly a joy to share your home and life with.

Dammit. I foresee the day we'll face it, but it never gets any easier. I'm sorry, Serge.

My thanks, all of you.

My condolences to you and your family. She looks like a lovely dog.

Even though it was for her own good, I feel like I betrayed her.

don't

I know the feeling (my dog Phoebe, acute hemolytic anemia, 2 yrs ago)--but you didn't betray her. It just hurts, even when you do the right thing. --Lila, from Making Light

I know. It's one of those situations where you mind says one thing, but your heart says otherwise.

Belated condolences, Serge. She looks like she was a wonderful companion.
