Marley and me
Just finished reading Scott Adams (Mr Dilbert) blog about having his cat put down. Blimey. Think I might need to update the 'When did you last cry' question.It's the idea of holding your pet's head in your hands as the vet administers the lethal injection that really gets me. Looking at his face for the last time, desperately hoping you've made the right decision, knowing just how big a hole he'll leave.
One commenter quoted Richard Dawkins saying: "If you don't think a pet could be loved as much as human being, you don't know what love is.". I'm not entirely sure that's true, but I do know I love my Marley.
Now if you'll excuse me I think I need to go give him a big hug.
