(Anonymous) 2012-03-10 03:23 am (UTC)(link)It's my favorite book, but I always have to skip that bit. Sometimes when I feel like I can handle it, I go back and read that one part, but I always get angrytears.
Of course, I know they put a lot of pets down during the Blitz, but Gyp was put down out of selfishness (or maybe old age, as the whole thing is told from Laurie's perspective part of the fun is picking out what REALLY is going on). And my father refused to put my dog down even though he was dying slowly of liver cancer, and was clearly very unhappy, 'until the dog can't walk anymore'.
As a direct result of that, my dog fell down the stairs one day when everyone was out because he'd lost all his muscle mass and couldn't even lift his head anymore. I'd never been so furious at my father in my life. My teeth were chattering, that's how angry I was at his selfishness over a pet's health and happiness.
But it was the best way he could have gone, really. It was a very sunny, warm day and my father finally took in enough of my incoherent screaming to have the vet make a housecall and we did it outside, and it was over so quick. I dug the hole, and just felt relieved that he wasn't hurting anymore.
TLDR This book makes me have Feelings.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-10 03:57 am (UTC)(link)Awww, don't feel bad!
If a pet isn't in pain or sick and can still get about and do that big doggy smile at you, then I see no reason to put that pet down. I fear pain more than dying, which was definitely influencing my reasons for wishing to put my dog down. When my spaniel gets sad and skeletal and won't eat and just poops and poops... I think it's time.
It's also helpful to remember that everyone has different perspectives on death, and different reactions to it. If your pet was just elderly, you were not being selfish in kicking up a fuss like that.
I think I've actually read more Charioteer fanfic than the amount of times I've read the original book- does Laurie get a puppy by the end, or is that just fanon's opinion?
