So /m/, my dog is dying. She started bleeding all over the floor earlier tonight, and we just got back from the vets. Even with highly expensive blood transfusions and treatments, she'd still only be looking at a 10% chance of surviving through the end of May, and after that the numbers get even more grim. We decided to put her down, but not before my younger sister gets a chance to say goodbye, first; pic related, it's the dog in question and my sister.

Still, even while getting the results of the blood testing and everything, my inner /m/an couldn't help but chime in; consider it my way of dealing with stress, I suppose. I almost shouted "10%? With us, that's practically a guaranteed success!" at one point. Also, a line from the theme for Kuuga of all things popped into my head, and wouldn't leave: "A reason to stand strong! No pain! No fear! As long as he stands for love!"

So yeah, was using /m/ things to help me handle my grief. Anyone else have similar stories?
