I was listening to this yesterday while in my workshop and had to change the station. I am a Beck fan but, WTF?. I put down two great dogs in the past year, said my goodbyes in the veternarians treatment room, and left it there. I couldn’t figure out what the point was in him blubbering on and on. There will be time enough for mourning if our country stays on the path it is on and it won’t be for pets.

My apologies inadvance for those who think I am insensitive.

I won't let another person, a stranger, put down one of my pet.
Every watch "Of Men And Mice", the original?
The dog trusts his owner, and it must be done with compassion.
It shouldn't be done sloppily, causing more pain than necessary, but quick and painless.
Only the owner of the pet should do the task.

I'm with you but it's not just Beck. We have to put up with Savage, Levin and Limbaugh's endless yammering about their pets and how they suffer or their stupid pet stories.

I, too, have had to have dog put down. It's sad but sheesh, how are their pets more important than ours that we have to listen to this?

[fortheDeclaration]

Agreed. There seems to be this view today that every emotion has to be made public.

Mourning is very personal and should be private.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I don't think you are "insensitive." You are NORMAL!!!

The cult of animals makes me sick. Lord there are many people who care more for some animal than they do for their children. Sometime compare the fee charged by a Pediatrician with the fee charged by a veterinarian. Such difference illustrates the relative value placed by many people on their children and animals.>P/ By the way I have owned and cared for many dogs in my life. None of them ever suffered by my acts or inaction.

[Paradox]

The internet and mass media have made us all these incredible, navel gazing narcissists.

[hinckley buzzard]

I have had to say goodbye to numerous pets all my life. I never felt compelled to make a histrionic display of it in public.

[SgtHooper]

I turned away from it for awhile simply because most of us pet owners have gone through the same torment—why relive it again. Tuned back in after awhile.

I'm a doggie guy...click on my name to see my crew.

I like Glenn, but, I also had to turn away...it was just too much too long.

[Fiji Hill]

Amen, brother! Preach on it!

I tuned into Glenn Beck yesterday, and he was boo-hooing. I didn’t stick around to hear what he was crying about, but turned in disgust to another station.

Grown men who experience sadness should have enough self-discipline to refrain from airing their feelings in public.

[rabidralph]

I agree with you. Maybe Beck is hurting for ratings.
