Well, you realize that we're all going to die, right? And any time you get a pet, it'll probably die before you do, right? But that doesn't help, does it?
Yeah, I've been there myself. Had so many pets die it's not usually a big deal any more. But there was one...
We had a St. Bernard. He had a gift for making the hurt go away. If I came home from work frustrated or disgusted, or if my wife was hormonal and I couldn't do anything right, all I had to do was take him for a walk down to the pond and the stress would melt away. He also had a gift for choosing people. He was normally pretty amiable to everyone, but there was one guy that he just did NOT like. Always growled at him, and almost even bit him once. We couldn't figure it out until months later when we found out what this guy was really like. He wasn't just a snake, he was evil. We learned to trust our dog. And yeah, when he finally died, that was a sad day. Like you, we knew it was coming, and it was better for him he was hurting so bad. But that only helped a little bit.
Ever thought of turning him into a diamond? Seems there are several companies that will take his cremated carbon and compress them into a diamond. It's not cheap, though. Here's one:
