Tell them. I’ve had dogs come and go, closure is the best thing that you can do for the owner. Once they know that he’s gone they can move on with their lives and remember the good times, as opposed to 3+ continuous years of sadness and a lifetime of periodically wondering what happened to him
I might do that tomorrow (11:02 PM now, they’re probably asleep). I know that it’s the right thing to do, but it’s such an unpleasant experience telling someone a loved one is dead, I can only imagine the guilt doctors have to go through when telling family and friends of a patient that their son or daughter or whatever is dead.
Plus, you never know how these people will react. Will they be calm? Will they cry? Will they get angry at me for whatever reason? Fuck, will they think I killed it? I’m not exactly ready for such a response, although I don’t think anyone is.
find an identical dog and give it to them
Nah, man I am telling you they suck. Find a better dog and give it to them.
Tell them the dog was abducted by aliens and you witnessed the event from afar.
Haha. Well, I’ve made up my mind, I will call them tomorrow, although I may walk back to the railway tracks just to confirm the yorkie is still there. I hope I won’t find some smelly half meat half skeleton thing there (when I first saw the dog, there was little to no decomposition and no odor, just flies). Thanks for the advice.
EDIT: Okay, I called them and told them that I may have found the dead dog. They took it rather well actually, and said they’d check it out. I later got a text message from them telling me that the dead dog is theirs (the collar had it’s name and address) and thanked me for letting them know. I feel good that I did this, albeit it was still awkward as hell telling them that I saw their dead dog. I still feel awfully bad for them though.
Change of plans. Summer holds 2 weeks of Spain for me.
summer for me will hopefully be starting a new job and preparing to get a place of my own
and generally starting my life from scratch again 
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Where are you going in Spain, Bolteh?
Costa Brava. I think the exact town is called Calella de Palafrugell.
head up to Portugal and pay Maxey a visit
I hear that Marzipan is really fucking delicious.
I want to suck your cock so much right now daniel.
I wouldn’t mind paying Bolteh a beer or two while we talk about the middle east.
I’ll pay for the airline tickets
marzipan is fucking disgusting
Today I couldn’t find a torrent for an album of a lesser known artist and to be honest,
He deserves my money. Too bad I don’t have any right now, but eventually I’ll buy it.
no no talk about certain subjects, the middle east conversation is too big and tiring for you, try talking about the argeeleh perhaps
Moonshine does the body good.
I wouldn’t want to talk about trivial nonsense anyway. I’d rather discuss the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest with Maxey.
Alas, Elvas is a 10 hour drive from where I’ll be in Spain.
That + I don’t trust Maxey.
