My dog and EverQuest

[Sage Truthbearer]

Sucks.. I had to put down my beloved orange tabby a few months ago due to some irreversible health issues that left him on death's door. You just have to remember that they lived a full, happy life during your time with them and you gave them the most love possible.

Putting down old pets sucks. We lost one this past year that passed in its sleep 2 days before we were going to put it down.


And for all the people either trolling or being crybabies because they aren't old/mature enough to have ever had pets, understand, or have to make that call... I feel bad for you.

It's a tough thing to have to do but it is often necessary as pets age. They weren't intended to live that long, and are one of the few animals who probably get to enjoy over extended life expectancies in good homes over being wild animal.

I'd like to offer a bit of advice.

Two things:

* Make really damned sure you have a vet who knows what (s)he's doing and gives a shit. I speak from personal experience here... I saw a vet not sedate a dog properly before administering the drug that stopped his heart. They're supposed to be unconscious first. He suffered before dying and it was awful to see.

* Stay with and comfort him until he's gone. It's hard but it's the least you can do for a pal.

I'm sorry about your dog. It's amazing how attached we get to our pets. It's really hard to say goodbye. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Would you be ok if someone killed you because they decided you were too old and not worth the trouble of caring for?

All you people who never had to endure something difficult and awful, I feel bad for you.

I just dropped a grand on medical treatment for my dog, so nah.

I would never have him executed for personal convenience, as I am not a garbage person. Find a different apartment you fuck.

Please. When I am mostly blind, deaf and have growths I hope someone does it for me. Death isn't an end just a gateway to my bind point.

Sweet Jesus find a different apartment to live in you selfish prick. Rationalizing it as you did in the post won't make you feel any better.

If only the dog could put you down

[zanderklocke]

Well. It was not a decision I wanted to make. After visiting with the vet, he indicated that my dog will constantly be in pain until he passes away.

While you all can debate and think less of me, I'd rather my friend not live a life in pain until his heart gives out.
