The Best Dog A Guy Could Want R.i.p Options

[shane meyer]

I had to let my little yoda go today 17yrs old. 5th dog I've had to put down in my life. I spent half of my life with him, none have hurt this much. He JUST had a check up and blood work done 5 days earlier. Heart strong, kidneys, liver working "great" then outta no where he had a stroke. He was always there for me. Through all my personal problems in life. Kills me to know I'll never rub that SHIH TZU pot belly or hug him again. He was Blind from birth and depended so much on us, I think thats why this hurts SO MUCH MORE than my other pets. My soul is fractured, at the moment I dont know if I can get over this. My Birthday was monday, the day of the stroke. Now i'm cursed with a birthday that I lost my most loved buddy. I hope I succeded in adding his picture. I love you yoda PLEASE R.I.P

Maybe you could just DECIDE to be "wrong." I was trained as a chemist and if I had a dollar for every time I so glibly said that "Dust to dust" covered the sitution completely - the first law of the universe being "Matter is neigher created nor destroyed" - I could at least buy my city block!! Then one year my sister became critically ill and spent 8 months on the edge of death. After a short while, there was nowhere else to go - nowhere to cry to - so I decided - against alll my intellectual brain - to just 'act as if". If I were wrong, I'd never know it. If I were right (which I very much doubted - and am not so sure I actually "believe" even now), at least I had a story to cling to. Invented by man, that's for sure. Can man live without it? We're living proof that we need a story to cling to - or we would surely die of grief.

Please don't take this as preaching or an attempt to "convert" or anything ugly like that. I just know I need to cling to this Perfect World story in order to live on in this one. If I'm wrong, I'll be a little happier in this world and it won't make any difference after that.
