Thanks bxgrl. I’ve never had a real pet (with all due respect to my goldfish) but can empathize with those going through the emotions of having to put one down. I’m sure your cats were/are very well taken care of, as was CDog.
biff- I think anyone who has had to put down a pet, especially one they have had for years, feels what he is going through. I know I get called a crazy cat lady but when you’ve had an animal for years and years, while they are not “people in fur” they are companion entities and they mean a great deal. My sister and MM both had to come with me when I had to put down my 2 18 year old cats- it’s a good time to have a good friend like you there.
I’m actually going with him tonight to be there for him when he puts down CDog. I’m sure there will be a few bar shots afterwards to numb his pain.
According to CGar, “we’ll be sitting Shiva at Montero’s on the 11th. In lieu of flowers at the Memorial Service, donations to North Shore Animal League.†He’s trying his best to keep up his spirits, but obviously he’s extremely distraught.
He expressed his sincere gratitude to PLUSAs for their thoughts here and private emails sent to him today. He was very touched by everyone’s kindness.
DIBS,
would I have to dust off my “Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!” again? mkt looks like it could be another -200pt day
I am so hoping for the unrest to get to Saudi.
Anyone want to take an over / under on when Ghadaffi is gone?
DIBS, what other saying are appropriate for condom wrappers?
“Friends don’t let friends drive drunk”
“A penny saved is a penny earned”
“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”
Actually just about any old timey folkely saying is funny on a condom wrapper.
Cripes, I go out to lunch for 2 hours, get back and only 85 comments??????

I’m not touching the dog conversation with a 10 foot pole.
You’re welcome.
I think a condom wrapper is a good place for “Keep Calm Carry On”.

We’ll drink a toast to CDog at Monteros.

Bxgrl, I passed on your thoughts to CGar.
