[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746062, member: 18958"] This is what I decided. But unfortunately I typed the words,[I] I had to euthanize Dolly[/I], without sending the text, and I saw the next day that the text had sent itself. Because he had responded. I felt badly. I regretted it. You're right. I had written the words because I did not want to be alone with how sad I felt and then I realized it was selfish, which was why I idd not send it. (Now I know that texts send themselves. I did not know that.) But I also agree with SWOT and Elsi that there were risks of holding back the information. I mean. My son was 21 when we got Dolly together. He lived here with her for half her life. He deserved to know and to hold back the information, felt wrong. But sending the text felt wrong, too. He felt badly. He worried for me. He wrote, "I weep for Dolly." And then he said,[I] this settles it, will never come back [/I](to where I live)[I].[/I] He gets dramatic like that. He said he expected that she would die while he was gone. That she had lived her regular lifespan. (We have had other boxers, and they don't live more than 10 to 12 years. Dolly was 10. (She had a history of bad trauma. I wonder if this was part of it.) But I feel bad, because he is attached to all three animals, and has a sense of responsibility to them, even though he doesn't necessarily meet it. He loves them. He texted again the next day, the Mom? thing, but has not written again. [/QUOTE]
