? The hell

With the courage it can take to open ones heart and share such feelings or the obvious regarding such a loss. The last thing anyone expects, is for someone with a point, besides the one on top of his or her head, to inform you in an extreme overstatement of the obvious, how much worse it could be, who couldn't have known what might happen instantaneously every second. Logically your suggestion would then be: Wrap yourself in an invisible sheild of absolute protection from any accidents or misfortune and live as a framed picture. If you cannot say something nice, don't say anything at all Thumper.

Sorry

About your loss and week ending badly.

That is why

I like dogs more than most human beings.

So very sorry

to read of your loss. I was totally suprised several years ago at how I reacted when I had to put down our family dog of 16 years. I had a really tough time so I know how you feel.
As for fyi and his comment-consider the source.

I do have to say it is refreshing in a wierd way that someone is using this list in the manner it was intended versus throwing crap at each other.
