First he does it when I'm not near the office room, so I have to come rushing from wherever I was just to hear him in the first place, and then I find out I did that for this entirely time-wasting thing on his computer screen that does not interest me in the slightest. You would think, after doing this several hundred times, they would begin to have a concept of what we do (or do not) find interesting, wouldn't you?

I think the issue is with US feeling brutal, when it is kindness, empathy and sympathy that brings us to the deed. I understand it, I just don't think I could ever do it. Larry had to shoot a puppy once that was dying from heartworms. The poor thing was bleeding from every oriface and was suffering. One quick shot later and it was put out of it's misery. But just the thought of shooting a puppy. What's next Larry? Colicky babies?<BR/><BR/>Just kidding. I have to yank Larry's chain every chance I get. It's my duty as his wife.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for your candid explanation of the process. I know it wasn't easy for you. And I know Nougat was your baby. Please know I grieve along with you.

We do what we have to on our farms. <BR/><BR/>I like Vista, however, I do occasionally have problems with it and when I ask for the error to be researched I get the canned reply, "There is no known repair at this time." <BR/><BR/>We purchased an HP PC last year, had to return it after several repairs were made.

I just feel sorry for Mike; I don't think I'd have the strength to pull the trigger.<BR/><BR/>I worked for a vet for a little while, and had to assist with a few euthanasia. One thing he told me was he gave the animals a calming drug beforehand if the owner wanted to be there. That way, they were completely oblivious when the fatal drug was administered. Worth it, to me, for those of us without the means (or guts) to do it your way.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-48012387349126080342009-02-22T11:47:00.000-08:002009-02-22T11:47:00.000-08:00Not shocking at all - it ends it faster for them t...Not shocking at all - it ends it faster for them than sticking a needle in them and have them fear what is going on. A bullet to the head is MUCH faster and they feel nothing. Euthanizing them is not as 'painless' as everyone thinks, in my opinion anyway. I had 1 horse uthanized and I would NEVER NEVER NEVER do it again. She was gasping for air for 3 minute before she died - and was in complete state of fear. Never again.... You guys did the right thing and dont second guess yourselves at all... **hugs to you both**Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327157455249207495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-25489043501829210332009-02-22T10:57:00.000-08:002009-02-22T10:57:00.000-08:00We use the same method to put our animals out of t...We use the same method to put our animals out of their misery. It's not shocking and I actually think it's the most humane method. It takes courage to do it though. I think you and Mike did the kindest thing you could. {{{{HUGS}}}}Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534106679136054532noreply@blogger.com
