I had to euthanize my baby last year and it was the hardest, shittiest, most loving, and most devastating thing I have ever done

I think this: when we agree to be an animal's companion through life, the biggest, most important, most serious thing that we are agreeing to is that we will be there for them in the end, and make the decision that they can't make without you, but that spares them pain and suffering they can't understand.

I support you. I'm sending you and B all the love possible.

life is:
quality not quantity.

at least to me, thats whats important! and to realize when *quality* it minimal and suffering/cronic discomfort has taken over takes a very very caring, tender, in-tune person. never beaet yourself up over having to come to such a decision. put yourself in his paws! I, persoanlly, dont want the end of my life to be in pain or without dignity. Ive already told D and my mom pull the chord if need be. do NOT keep me alive if I cant function and am not happy. period.

this kind of decision is so difficult but comes from love. I support you in any decision you make, and being a "parent" myself my heart breaks for you.
hugs

I know how hard it is to euthanize a loved friend--but sometimes it's the kindest thing possible. I had to do this with my cat Kitty a couple of years ago, but it was different from your situation because she was already dying. If anything, I waited longer than I should have...just by a matter of hours, but still. I told myself I was giving her one more afternoon in her sunny chair. Actually, I was giving myself and Rob one more afternoon with her. She was past the ability to enjoy the sun
