Long time no see! That's sad to see your pug die at a mere 4 years of age. That's really rough, but I know how you feel at the end. Thanks very the very kind thoughts too. :) Hi Rory!

I had a little pug Cecily who was dying at 4 years of a degenerative disease. When the vet, our friend, came to put her down, we were all basically crying, but I held her on my lap and chanted Nenbutsu to her. It was the only thing that gave me strength and I chanted the Amida Sutra at her graveside. I love Buddhism as it recognizes the buddha nature of all beings. I'm going to include Napoleon tonight during Eko at my altar, so he's born in the Pure Land. Namu Amida Butsu Doug;

I had a "Buddhist proverbs" post recently, and the one I still remember most is that meeting is the beginning of separation. :-/ Indeed.

Impermanence is inescapable, what a cruel reality.
