May have to put my dog down today, I dread things like this...

@Nomad7 her heart is failing. Shes old

@Sunnykel76 Sorry to hear that, she won't suffer anymore. Get a new one soon

@Nomad7 I'd personally caution against getting a new dog until you've at least properly mourned and grieved your dog.

@basilfawlty89 there will be no dogs in the near future

@basilfawlty89 Why? Everything is replaceable

@Nomad7 far from it. Pets and people aren't objects, they're family members.

@basilfawlty89 Not the exact person, but the role they play

@Nomad7 that's like saying if your child died, just get another child.

@basilfawlty89 It sounds cruel, but it works. That was the whole premise behind people having 10s of children back then

@Nomad7 okay, let me ask you this. If your mum or dad died, would you look for a replacement parent?

@basilfawlty89 No, but if my child or dog died, I would get another one
