I just got home from a hard day's work at around 6 pm. My wife called and said we have an emergency. I asked what happened,are you ok? She said it isn't me, Mary's dog just died in the car. We need you to come over and dig the grave. I teach and was in the middle of doing a final exam and writing letters of recommendation for college for students, plus it was dark and cold. I said tell her to cover him and I will come over in the day and dig the grave. Fu*ked up big time. The argument about how insensitive I went on till 1 am then began this morning while I'm preparing for work. I was never so glad to hear my bike fire up and get my *** out of there this morning. It doesn't happen often, but when it does , it's a grinder! Love my Harley, I know I woke all the neighbors up this morning!
Not much to say to that except BUMMER! I can feel the pain, what I cant do is ride when it happens (to cold and icey around here now), on that aspect alone I am jealous! Enjoy the ride!
There was already five people there, I just really thought "why's it got to be done tonight"? I'll do it during the daylight. A mistake I won't make again.
I do the same all the time with my wife.... we just had a kid two months ago... and she is always telling me what I am doing wrong. I can't seem to do anything right. But, here in Chicago it's near 0 degrees out. I can only go into the garage and "tinker" on my ride to let off a little steam. Be happy that you can ride... to let it all out!!!

Too late now, but you could've recovered somewhat by saying you didn't want to dig in the dark for fear of hitting an underground line. I feel for you. There's not a married guy around that hasn't been in your shoes.
Several months ago my neighbors cat was hit by a car. After deciding nothing could be done for it she asked me if I could put it out of its misery. Of course I had to bury it as well. I am not a cat lover but was uncomfortable nonetheless. Now if the same happened to my german sheperd I would be pretty tore up.
