i believe you have every right to die if you want to, and even take out someone who is willfully, intentionally, unrepentantly evil with you — BUT– you really shouldn’t kill your dog!

What did he do?

I share your personal story of misery, and completely understand YOUR wanting to die, but you and I must admit that we feel like this because we aren’t quite right, that we are emotionally ruined and dysfunctional… that being said, what makes you think your dog can’t stay behind and be happy with someone else?

Unless he constantly pees and craps in the house, or is really a crummy kind of dog who tries to bite everyone who isn’t you, regardless of your love of a dog one can still know that a dog is equally dysfunctional in dog terms that you could never find a decent home for, THEN I think you’d be justified in doing him in with you.

But if he’s a perfectly nice dog you need to find him a home first, or make reasonably sure he’s taken care of.

And don’t try driving the car off the road! Especially with a dog! That is the worst way to attempt suicide (unless you live in Glacier National Park) with any reasonable expectation of dying.

The dog will be horribly mangled, die in agony after hours or even days of dreadful misery, and you — well you will likely have a couple of cracked ribs and a bump on your head.

No, if you are really going to do it sally forth alone (unless you want to take my evil ***** ex-wife with you? Let me know and I’ll send you her address.)
