    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God? - Epicurus

        Look on the bright side; you can now make a few bucks at the local Korean restaurant.
        I didn't get it at first.

        Sorry to hear about your dog, I have one too.

          Sorry for your loss - looked like a nice family doggy.

            Well look at this way, if somebody said that about a korean restaurant to me face to face, I would send them to the emergency room.

            I'm still sad.. but I'll move on with great loss..

              Are you going to bury the dog at home? That can be comforting.

                Well since my parents are always moving every three years, I'm not sure. I am most certainly going to ask. My parents currently live in Italy and I'm in LA... I'm still sad I wasn't there when my dog died...

                  My friends in VA had a wonderful Westie named Madison. I passed through the state and dropped by for a visit just after they had found out he was terribly sick. Later that week they found out it was liver cancer. Through it all Madison kept acting (or later, trying to act) as though nothing was wrong.

                  As they say, the plans of [dogs] and men oft go awry, but only men know that they must die.

                    You could have the pet cremated and take it with you.

                    What do your parents do?

                      I'm not sure what we will do. We will see.

                        When my first dog was dying he was so bad off he didn't move for 12 hours. It appeared he had chosen where to die. But, with the last of his strength he got up and slowly walked to me. He laid down near me and closed his eyes.

                        You have my condolences.

                          I find that people generally undervalue the grief associated with losing a pet - Christians especially. They will emphasise that there is no place in Heaven for pets - animals just aren't as special as humans. Yet if you spend as much time with a pet as with a person, it figures that the loss of that pet is going to hit like a train.

                          At least we have the option of minimising the suffering of an animal.

                            If I were God, I'd let animals into heaven before humans...
                            To us, it is the BEAST.

                                My sincerest condolences, Fez. My dog is my best buddy, and I know how much it hurts to lose a beloved pet. Just take comfort that he had a good life, and was well loved; so many in this world aren't.
