RIP Dart

Dart passed away yesterday.

I mentioned a few entries back how Dart was acting funny. I took him to the vet and turns out he had Stage V Lymphoma. The vet said we could do treatment, but it wouldn’t stop the inevitable. I had to make the call: put Dart down now or watch him steadily and painfully decline into death.

Told Stu about it when I got home from the vet’s. All the bastard said was, "Christ, Harlow. What is with you and death?" 

Fuck you Stu.

And you know what? Fuck cancer. First you take my dad, now my dog.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK YOU!

Cancer-2, Harlow-1.

Cancer took my dad, too. And my mom. Actually, that’s not quite true. The chemo killed her before the cancer had a chance to. Who in their right mind gives an 83 year old woman chemo? Her insane doctor, that’s who. It took everything within me (and maybe outside of me, I don’t know) to not meet him in the parking lot with a baseball bat. And I’m not a violent person. I’m sorry for your loss.

Aw man, that picture of the kid is gutting! Sorry to hear about the dawg. I must ask, cancer scored 2 but harlow scored 1? How did you notch one up against cancer? Please tell me you kicked some cancer in the face.

I’m so sorry honey. At least you COULD make the call so he didn’t have to suffer.

That is fucking shit.

Oh that is such shit. But, I’m one of those assholes that think most things happen for a reason. Maybe you and Dark were meant to help each other. He helped you thru your dad’s passing, and you gave have a loving home to spend his last days in. But that aside this is so fucking awful. I’m sorry. (Here we go again with the) Creepy internet hugs.

Poor baby Dart. You did the humane thing by putting him down. He had a comfortable and loving home for his final days on Earth. What more could a dog ask for? Also appreicated you clarification on Seattle in the previous entry. I have long suspected that city to be full of pretentious pseudo-bohemian assholes, and it sounds like I wasn’t far off after all.
