person A: I have to put my dog down_comma_ she's so sick. I don't know how I am going to cope with this.
person B: I have had to do this too with my best friends (My beloved dogs). It is hard. I know how you feel because I have been there more times then I want to remember. 
person A: How do you get through it?
person B: Minute by minute and I remind myself that my best friend is no longer in pain.
person A: That's a good outlook_comma_ at least as good as it gets. I'll try to remind myself of that.
