Nothing Lasts

The vet has told me my dog is just too old to go on and should be euthanized. I know nothing is permanent and I do not fear death, but I do not like it for others, especially a being who trusts me and loves me without conditions.

I had a terrible time with the death of my mother and my elderely father balances on the fulcrum of eternity and none of that is right. My own anihilation is OK, but not that of those who actually have contributed something good.

On the other hand, it is not right to allow a being to suffer when you can end that suffering. In the end, I suppose my pain is selfish. I do not want to give up another being who gives me love. There seems to be too little of that.
