I'm sad

My mom just called me. Lucy, our dog, has to be put down because her jaw won't open and she can't eat.

I'm really, really sad right now. When my mom told me, I started crying in our copy room at work. A co-worker came and hugged me.

I've never had anyone close to me pass away. Even though she's a dog, Lucy will be the first. As I type this, I just want to cry.

But on a side note, I think it's good that I'm finally experiencing death.

I'm flying home to New York tonight to spend tomorrow with her. We'll be putting her down on Friday.
