sorry, hunny.


when i took Bunyip to be put down (kidneys failing 15 yrs old, wasting away)... I was not expecting the girl to offer to just take him, and see to it... letting me off the hook of watching my friend die... and I got the vibe that they prefer to handle it without you there... so I agreed to just leave him....

I felt like such a shit after. You did the right thing, no doubt. When Banzai was put down (same thing as Bunyip) I held him as he died. It was much harder... but it was not about me... it was about him. This is not a fun thing to go through, shaw. People can be kind of glib about the loss of a pet... but fuck them this hurts like hell. Really Really sorry you lost your friend.
