Yeah...I agree Stam and Irie! I had to tell the 5yo today when I picked him up from Kindergarten for his week with my wife and I. A life lesson I'm sure he'll never forget. I remember being 5yo when my old man put one of our retrievers down.

It's about as simple life can get...have fun young, grow up and start work, "figure life out" and enjoy it for awhile, then die.....at least we get to get another pet in the future. This one will sting for awhile.
