Thing number three, COME ON DOWN!!!
Yes, bad things come in threes. We had my wife’s near accident (with my kids and mother-in-law) and then we had Alex’s ski accident, and now we have had a death of my in-law’s Siberian Husky, Tundra.
In the grand scheme of things, this is lower on the scale than many bad things that could happen, but losing a beloved pet really sucks. I know that when Shadow dies I’m going to be a complete wreck. Animals become like family members, and losing one that gives you companionship every day is a hard thing to deal with.
Another bad thing is that he started a seizure and died during it. I have family members with epilepsy, and I know that when anything concerning a seizure causes a death, it hits a little closer to home for them. It’s like they realize that a seizure could affect them in the same way.
So bad things, you’ve had your way with us, now go away…

Hey Greyhawk- This post hit very close to home for me too. We adopted a puppy the week before Lotusphere and had to put him to sleep a month later. The 5th vet (!) finally diagnosed distemper (puppy MS). He apparently was incubating it when we got him. It was heart wrenching to watch him descend into the degenerative depths. Epilepsy is a nasty relative. Pet love is the most unconditional joy you can get. My heart goes out to you and your family.
