Euthanize It

I found her abandoned in the bathroom outside of Lovelock, Nevada. Waiting in line to pee, shifting from one foot to the other so that I didn’t tinkle my pants, I see this little puppy, the cutest fur pattern like a tuxedo. She was panting and came over to me. I cupped my hand, filled it with water and gave this poor thing a drink. We fell in love <3.

Six years later, my dog, fittingly named “Nevada,” is the best thing in the world. I love her more than my boyfriend, and don’t worry, he knows that and feels the same way. I raised, trained and cried about heartbreaks with this dog. She always licked the tears off of my face or rested her head on my lap, as if she too knew what it was like to suffer through a break up. Bottom Line: I can’t stand the thought of losing her. If you have difficulty understanding this, pop in the  Marley and Me DVD and call me when you are through watching it.

Unfortunately, my dog has developed early onset of arthritis, which makes it difficult for her to get up or walk. It is heart breaking to see your once active energetic dog be forced to short intervals of walks around the park. What a down grade from the Ididarod. Needless to say, my week has been very stressful and I am concerned, frustrated because she can’t communicate with me. I don’t want her to be in pain and there isn’t anything I can do. FML.

At work, I have been looing mighty haggard. Upset and tired, I told my boss today that I didn’t sleep well because my dog fell trying to jump onto the bed; her back legs just gave out. I was up all night crying over it. So, she expressed her sympathy and went through a similar situation with her own cat. In order to console and remedy the situation, she calmly expressed to me, knowing the severity of my emotional state, that I “should probably consider putting her down soon.”

WHAT?

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

AFTER I HAVE BEEN AWAKE ALL NIGHT CRYING OVER THE THING I LOVE MOST IN THE WORLD, YOU TELL ME TO KILL MY DOG?

Way to go, social skills! Who fucking says this? Would you tell the family member of a cancer patient that you should consider euthanizing your child soon? What fucking asshole, black hearted cunt would EVER say this to anyone? Evaluate this situation: this heartfelt comment is coming from a woman who has spent 30 years of her life educating CHILDREN. I can’t even imagine she has lasted this long working with people when she has the common sense of the most useless inanimate object on the planet. Eat a dick, you filthy sperm burp.

I didn’t even know what to say. It was one of those moments when the conversation was so fucked up that you just agree, walk away, then reply what you should have said while you have the conversation, alone, in the faculty bathroom.

I hope something stupid happens to you or your family, something like a bus accident or AIDS. Then, when you get upset, I will tell you that your best best is to euthanize the son-of-a-bitch. We are all going to die sooner or later, theirs should just be sooner.
