We had to put our dog down yesterday. I've never been an animal person and might never be. We had two dogs growing up, one accidentally killed by my dad and the other got away and never made it back. So Callie was the first pet I had to see through this end of life process. She had fought diabetes and blindness for 2.5 years now yet somehow just kept going. The last several days, the infections she had been able to fight off the last several years just couldn't be fought off. My wife bought her three months before she met me and I will always remember when I sat on Callie's seat on the couch when we were first dating. She was just so mad at me -- staring at me saying to get my ass up out of her spot. Without kids, and very likely never to have them, this is tearing my wife up and it's definitely hurting me more than I might have thought.
