Even with her I’m sure trying to paint the situation in a manner that put herself as the good guy, it was still really suspect. That says a lot. She’s a politician, so it’s not a far stretch that she’s also a psychopath. |

I'm not horrified but my husband and I had to put down our last two dogs. They both had seizures and were in pain, there was no emergency vet so I had to put down one (my husband was working) and he put the other one down about a year later for the exact same reason. It was awful but I would make the same choice again if needed.

I was able to give away one kitten, then I learned it was also my job to kill the remaining kittens. From then on I made sure our barn cats were boys to eliminate the kitten issue. I wonder why anyone, much less a politician, would include details like that in a book. It doesn't take a genius to know that such a story from a politician would not be well received. Then I remember that she's a female politician and that explains everything. View Quote |

End of life, it sucks bad, because you second guess yourself on, it, is it time? Hit by a car and in pain on the side of the road? No question, it's going to hurt emotionally, but you'd do it for me!
Do it, Sandy I'd do it for you! It's especially hard when you kind of trade humans for live stock(pets). Other than children they are the only thing that are capable of unconditional love. I have seen animals live in truly deplorable conditions, and still seek out truly sadistic masters approval upon a save/ Rescue. And I'm not talking crazy Karen, Cynthia, Sharron and Kelly, like puppy mills and fight mills. There are some truly evil people into blood sports just for their own personal gain. |

I have had to put sick or really injured pets down since I was like 10. Never liked it, but I hate to see a dumb animal suffering.
Last time was like 20 years ago. A stray cat that kinda adopted me and my neighbor. When the weather would turn cold, we would take turns putting the cat up every night. Anyway, some dogs got ahold of the cat and tore him up pretty bad, like dragging intestines bad It was in town, I didn't feel comfortable discharging a firearm. I used a shovel. My neighbor was horrified, didn't talk to me for awhile. Meh. Did what I had to do. |

I was raised in rural Utah , we had chickens, rabbits, cows, pigs, horses. I grew up hunting Deer , Grouse , Doves , rabbits. I was raised as a hick from the sticks.
I am also a Dog person. I get a Dog they are there until one of dies. My dogs are part of the family. You raise your kids to grow up , become strong and independent. Then leave and go on their own. My Dogs are there until the death do us apart. I take control of their lives , and they are well taken care of. They go to the Vet for their medical needs. In my world, notice I say my world, I will not allow an animal to suffer. I take full control of their lives and deaths also. If you need to get a Vet to provide services, that’s okay with me . But I won’t put my responsibilities on a Vet . Is this easy? Hell no , but it’s my problem and will be dealt as such. They’re a lot of tough things in the world to deal with, this is one of them Brothers. I guess my entire point is not to let your pets suffer. When it’s time, get it done. My latest Yorkie just jumped up on my lap, got her for my birthday last year. Her predecessor went her way in April of last year. She had a collapsed trachea and was drowning in her own fluids. Remember life isn’t measured in years, it’s measured in dogs. Treat them accordingly. |

They just stated how they preferred to put them down. I just had to put my best friend of 17 years down. She was part of my family. I had a vet put her down. I've put down my stepson cat. A cat that I actually liked. I told him later if he ever needed it done again he could do it. I have zero problems hunting or fishing. But putting a bullet in the head of a dog I've had in my lap for 17 years. No I'm not doing it when there are other opinions. Hell I had her cremated and she will be buried with me. I have no intentions of replacing her either. I thought of her as more than just a dog. She was family and she earned that spot. I was in the Army and FRS and I've seen a lot of death in my life time. But that does not mean I lost my empathy and made me a hard ass. I felt for every life I lost in FRS. I cried like a baby when I had to put down my friend. If left with absolutely no choice and had no ther opinions. I'd do what I had to do and it'd break my heart. Also does not mean I'd not kill a violent or sick wild animal of any kind either. That includes the worst kind to that walks on two legs. |

Don't think, for a minute, that everyone who puts a poor animal out of it's misery doesn't feel bad about it.
I've cried over dogs I didn't even like. Real PITA dogs that constantly caused me problems. I still cried after burying them and thinking about them later. When I come in the house in the evening I speak to each of my dogs and tell them good night. Four and five years later I sometimes still tell one or more of them that are gone good night before remembering they've been gone for years. Sometimes I still grab treats from the box for a dog that is no longer with us. Then I feel bad and put that treat/biscuit back while wishing that dog was still around, and healthy so I could pet them, give them a hug/squeeze and talk to them. I sit around and remember the day I got them from the dog pound/shelter or got them from someone who wanted a puppy, but not a partially grown dog. I talk to my dogs like they were people and I hate it when they're no longer here. But, everything dies sooner or later. Old age, cancer, accidents. We do, the dogs do, the cats do. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking we don't care or don't miss them. |
