I was mortified. I had to plea for them to put away the needle on every mundane checkup (while she growled and howled up a storm). I was so relieved when the record finally got expunged.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Mar 2019, 10:28amMe, I went into full middle-class shame mode that my kid has acted poorly in public and that she'll have that incident on her record.
Incidentally, she bit the tech nice and hard during her euthanization 18 months ago.

Re: Pets.
The day has finally come. We are scheduling Sparky to be euthanized on Wednesday. He very likely has a brain tumor and has begun rapidly deteriorating.
I’m both gutted and laughing bitterly at the way he’s timed this to we had to buy him a 25 dollar bag of his speacial food for two days. A thorn in my side until the very end.
I will miss that hideous bastard eternally.

Re: Pets.
So sorry to read this, Jon. Everything you've shared over the years indicates that he'll be a lasting part of your life. It's all we can hope for that we make those connections that will endure after we part.

Re: Pets.
So sorry Jon. Really hard stuff. At least you know he's lived a full, horrifying life.

Re: Pets.
I'm so sorry to hear you're losing your friend.
Re: Pets.
I'm so, so sorry. Like I said on Twitter, I kind of feel like Sparky was our unofficial IMCT mascot (after Hoy, of course). And, as I always say, no matter how old they live to be, they never live long enough. I hope you are giving him a great last day.

Re: Pets.
I've had to say goodbye to a few friends over the last couple of years (Lucy-furr the cat & Iggy-pup the dog). It sucks, it doesn't get easier but I think we know that going in when we take animals into our lives. It's still worth it. Goodspeed to Sparky. Try to celebrate his life,
