2013.04.10
One weird, ugly detail about considering putting a pet to sleep: remember all those time they *hated* going to the vet? This last time makes all the previous vet fear and loathing somehow justified, retroactively.
It is human nature to look away from illness. We don't enjoy a reminder of our own fragile mortality.
Kinda poignant for today. (2019 update: this was about the day of his death.)
