On Losing a Pet

When I lost Stella nearly two years ago, the grief I bore was immense. There were the people who get it (pet owners, all) and those who don't. The ones who don't seem stymied why you would get all bent out of shape about a dog.

I found this captivating and raw documentary entitled "Last Minutes With Oden" by Eliot Rausch, Lukas Korver and Matt Taylor of Phos Pictures. It details the painful process of euthanizing a trusted companion whose best years are behind him. Narrated by Oden's owner, Jason, this six minute piece is worth a watch and your eyes will not be dry by the time it's over.

I still miss Stella, especially when I see that Thisbe shares some of her best traits.
