Well it cost me thirty bucks to fix my budgie
When the little blighter only cost me five
And the bludger wakes me early in the morning,
It's got me puzzled how he survives.
One night I'll feed him to the tom cat.
Instead of worrying about him when we go away.
No-one wants to feed a shitty budgie,
When everyone's on holiday
“- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
One hell of a ride.
Bad cow pun.

A little story (I will cry during this)
When I was about 10, friends of the family gave me one of their old station hacks (horse) called Suzy. She was about 18 and no good for farm work anymore and I had been on and on at my mum for years about getting a horse of my own (I had to prove I could care for my own horse by working school holidays at the local RDA (which I loved BTW)). Anyway, old Suze was a faithful friend and bombproof, yet still had enough life in her to do a decent buck now and again and eat dad's roses.
Anyway I had Suzy for about 5 years before she started to really go down hill and I couldn't ride her anymore. She'd had a hard life on the farm, her teeth were bad and she starting to have trouble eating, no matter how much hard feed and suppliments we gave her and she was getting really skinny and looking quite sick and generally miserable. We got the vet out to see her and he suggested the kindest thing to do for my old mate was to have her put down. My heart broke and at 15 I agonised over the decision that I had to make about my friend for weeks. Finally I decided I couldn't bare seeing her like that any more and the kindest thing for her would be to let her go.
Now comes the bit that rips my heart out even now thinking about it..... I told my dad my decision and he arranged for my cousin to bring his drain digger out home to dig the hole and after I said my last goodbye to Suzy and gave her a sugar lump I was taken off to my Aunts until the deed was done. Naively I thought my dad would get the vet out to give her an injection to put her to sleep, but it wasn't until I got home and went to see where they'd buried her that I saw the blood around the freshly filled in grave of my pony that I realised something was up.
I asked dad what had happened, why all the blood? My brother blurted out that that's what happens when you shoot something!!I know that if you hit an animal in the right spot with a bullet it kills them quickly, but I felt decieved and couldn't help wondering if whoever had fired the gun had made sure they had killed her cleanly and she hadn't suffered. My poor pony. Enough to say I never forgave my dad for not getting the vet to put my friend down properly and how I wanted it to be done to be sure she died quickly and cleanly.
Anyway, that's not a happy story, but when I had to have my chinchilla put down I made sure I held her until the vet checked that her heart had stopped beating to try and make up for not being there for Suzy.

we put our last cat down because it was absolutely riddled with cancer...i think the tolerance to pain etc is well above what we humans can tolerate.By the time we realised something was wrong(besides being a bit slow and not eating quite as much(previous vet visit)) it was too late.Quality of life = zero

Doin my head in i tell ya
It's a waiting game, you wait with clenched hands for the day to come ! It's like, will it be today ? No ! Then the next day you look in the back yard with loving eyes and think tommorow the suffering will be over, i cant wait any longer !
Here is a short vid of her in the back yard ! Excuse the beginning
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !

i dont know how you can complain when society treats its animal pets better than our fellow man. our old people are lockedup in homes and forgotten about, while we lead our selfish and busy lives, an old lady walking down the street just had her face smashed in by a full beer bottle deliberately thrown at her from a moving car, i saw an 80+ y.o woman with a zimmerframe and hunched back being challenged, or "stepped out" to a fight from a knuckle dragging "crip" gangsta in ngaruwhahia, whilst backed up and egged on by his 6-7 homies, all aged in their teens.
There definately needs to be a town in NZ reserved for where old people can go to live in safety and peace.
Fuck the animals, we eat most of em.
"I saw, I came, I conquered".
Fashionably late.
Um..
I've got pet insurance, 100% cover and costs $17 a month, even includes vet visits.
Kindly inform yourself before putting the needle in your pet crying "I'm sorry, I just can't afford you." You shouldn't have gotten a pet in the first place.
As to why we put down our animals? Have you seen any old folks homes or hospices for animals? Any animals with crutches and wheelchairs around? The only humane, sane, and most of all, logical approach is to end your companion's suffering. You can't shift them to an Old Pet's Home when they become senile and deprecated. I'm reiterating other posts here but the fact of the matter is it is because you love them, that it would be pure selfishness to keep them around if they were in so much pain and suffering that being put down is an option.

Aww what a cute little Vegie patch you have Sinnie!
The only stupid question is a question not asked!
The 2nd-most bad arse KBer.
I don't kill my pets, i kill my neighbours pets.
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
