Daisy went to the groomer and the vet yesterday. I don't think she's happy with me lol. Set me back $335 
for the office visit, shots, heartworm preventative, eye ointment and powder for an oozing spot on her leg.
It's a good thing she's cute

My brother just messaged me and said they had to put their dog, Snoopy, down a few minutes ago. He had been really sick the last day or so, the vet said there was nothing they could do for him. He was 12.
Goodbye Snoopy

Dogs are “really good at reading our emotions,” says one expert. But we’re not so good at reading theirs.

Hands down, my favorite picture of our girl Penny, always up to something, always a big smile and the photobomb queen. This was taken from a dog daycare when she was less than 6 months old, she`s 5 now. We live on the ground floor of our condo building and the Superintendent calls her "The Mayor" as she`s always on our patio overseeing the passerby's and ensuring they aren`t up to no good

Girl in front is Gracie, 1.5 years old and girl in back is Lola, almost 8. They know where the sunny spots in the house are and when.

I never knew we had a pet thread.
This is my friend Alba. She's 14-years old now. I adopted her from the local SPCA about 18 months ago. Because of COVID you couldn't meet the animals before-hand and I got tired of waiting for them to resume visitations so I said screw it, I'll just take the oldest cat they have and Alba got the job. Best $100 I ever spent and it's not even close. She wanted to cheer for the Panthers in this series but I told her this is a Bruins household.

He was writing a strongly worded email to Sweeney to get some players.. I think. Or getting me in trouble with my boss.

If you don't want to read a sad post about Daisy and my experience yesterday with putting her to sleep, please skip, and don't feel bad for doing so. But I want to get this out and I don't want to do it on Facebook.
This is the first time I've ever had to put a dog down. We had a collie growing up, but my dad took him when it was time.
Let me clarify that this is sad because she's gone, not because we had a terrible experience with the process. In fact, the vet's office was spectacular through the whole thing. They had a candle lit in the lobby with a sign saying if it was lit, someone was saying goodbye to their pet and to please be respectful. We went to a room in the back, they had a table set up with a nice blanket to put Daisy on. There was even a jar with "goodbye kisses" treats, but Daisy wasn't taking any food whatsoever.
They explained the whole process, gave me as much time as I wanted, ensured Daisy was not in any pain. I don't know how I did it but I stayed with her through the whole thing until she was gone.
They clipped a little of her fur and put it in a small tube for me. I chose to have her cremated privately and ashes returned, as opposed to communal cremation. Honestly, it was a last minute emotional decision... and more expensive... but just felt like something I should do.
Around lunchtime today they called and said the cremains were ready. I was shocked that it was so fast as it was late yesterday afternoon when she passed. So I drove out after work and picked it up.
I also paid to have a ceramic paw print made. Boy, did I cry when I saw that.
I stopped at Arby's on the way home because I usually did that when I took her to the vet. She liked their curly fries. Then I cried on the way home because she wasn't there with her head at my shoulder begging for a fry. And then when I got home I cried more because I dropped a fry and she wasn't there to pounce on it.
So basically I am an emotional wreck and I miss my dog. But I would do it all over again in a second because we had a great life together.

So sad, my heart goes out to you.....but your last line is fantastic....the pain will be short but the good memories and the joy Daisy brought to your life will always make you smileIf you don't want to read a sad post about Daisy and my experience yesterday with putting her to sleep, please skip, and don't feel bad for doing so.
