I know he doesn't believe you are equating animals with humans. I think he was trying to convey a point. And that point is, don't try to put Visine in your eye while blasted! I love this site! As a woman I can hopefully get some insight into sports while at the same time get a laugh. I can't wait for your next article. Can I contribute a thought or am I restricted to just commenting? I'm not the most computer savvy so pardon my ignorance. Anyway, love the site! Is Kid stoned?! I know he doesn’t believe you are equating animals with humans. I think he was trying to convey a point.

Thanks for the the props... And let me tell you, by no means am I equating animals with humans. Literally, I was upset enough to say I didn't want to write about sports b/c the loss of my cat was on my mind. And I'm with you... Let's talk sports!! See you 'round! Hey Kid!!

I’ve seen it before with a couple of friends of mine who lost dogs after having them for many years. When I first witnessed it, it really stunned me of how emotional the reactions were. With my initial instance I had to reach out and comfort my friend because she was so distraught over it. Gone were my thoughts of “what is wrong with her, it’s just a dog?!” and replaced with my genuine desire to support and comfort her. Like you her pet was with her through a lot of situations and even divorce. When disputes would occur between her and her ex-husband, her dog would quickly stand by her and defend her if the arguments got too intense. Another friend the same thing when her dog was put down. She was distraught for a couple of days and even a colleague who had to put his dog down. He was constantly apologizing because he was crying at work so I bought him a card! Waaaaaaay out of character for the kid! So I do understand even though I still posses my thoughts and views about the value of pets versus a human. My mind flashes back to the days when I was in college, (even though it was a hemp induced blur) and I worked as a bellman at a hotel. There was a pet funeral convention with all of the caskets and funeral brochures by pet funeral home owners. It was a trip and for the life of me I couldn’t understand it! I thought the people putting it on and those attending it was nuts! I could not grasp it, but then again, I wasn’t really trying! After partaking in some cannabis on my shift, and taking almost an hour just to get 2 drops of Visine in my eye, I really couldn’t grasp much of anything except for a napkin to get the Visine off of my face. But I digress, it was a trip then and it took me well over 25 years to understand what pet owners were going through when they lost a pet. So this diatribe is merely to say, I understand and sorry for your legitimate loss. Now let’s talk sports… I find your feelings very sincere and interesting.

I couldn't ever imagine that losing her would hurt so much. It is beyond words... I really owe a great deal to my mother and husband b/c I would not have been able to make the decision on my own. I know its so selfish of me, but I'm telling you, it was the hardest thing I can remember I've had to do. Man...

I know all too well the loss of a beloved pet. Each one is as special as a person, each as wonderful, and as loved. I chose to put my dog down too when he had an infecton, it was not an easy decision. My heart is deeply deeply with you. xo VeRonda, I am so so sorry to hear of your cat’s passing.

I know it's a tough decision but it was her time. This is the third post I've read today about pets dying. I hope this isn't a trend.
