    This is bringing up too many painful memories.

    That’s a tough call Dean but if you don’t go, you’ll never forgive yourself.You have to be strong for both Spock and yourself.Glad to see Heart is by your side to help get you through this.

    It’s tough, but when one cat of mine was sick and depressed, I had the option of leaving while the procedure was carried out, or staying. I’m glad that I did, and that the vet was compassionate and explained what was going to be done. I kept my composure until after I got in the car with the empty carrier, then I totally lost it. It’ll be OK, Dean. Just remember the love, it’s all you can do.

    Must we continue this Death of Spock plotline for another week? Dean is my favorite character in this strip (nerdy cat lovers have to stick together!) and I HATE watching this unfold! Real life is one thing, but well-loved cat companions should never have this happen to them in the comics.

    Please, Mark: Spare Spock.

    oh, come on, Tatulli. PLEASE don’t do this. I read the paper at work, and don’t want to have to explain to co-workers why I’m sniffling over a comic strip character.

    If – as some have suggested – this storyline is a take on your own recent, sad loss – would it not be a greater tribute if Spock were to survive and continue to bring love to his humans?

    Please?

    My husband had a similar epiphany. I’ve always like dogs and cats, but he was a staunch dog person. Then this little 8 week old grey tabby somehow ended up in our back yard. That was almost 3 years ago. He’s been smitten ever since.

    I really hope that everyone who is predicting Spock’s recovery is right!

    life, It’s either mean or it’s arbitrary, and either way I’ve got the heebie-jeebies. I still miss that racoon.

    Dean should not have to make life or death decisions. Where are his parents?

    Poor Dean. That’s rough to go through for an adult. For a kid, it’s much worse.

    I don’t like to deal with real life when I’mreading the comics. I will skip the rest of this week here.

    This is sad, but it is better that Dean has this choice. I had to watch my dear cat die sans medication. It was not a pretty sight. It still haunts me.

    I guess that almost every one has had a pet and then it gets old or sick. It’s something we share as caring people.

    I bawled both times I had to put my cats down. The one was ready for it, and seemed to want it. The other was so scared to be at the vet, all he wanted was to go. I felt absolutely horrible, and bawled each time. I can relate to what this character is going through.
