How do I kill my dog?

[discotex]

She was a Kelpy-hunterway cross but was the Kelpy chocolate brown with white pores the size of huterway feet and a white tip on her tail.
A true cross-breed with a big personality. Right to the end she was silly as a puppy, and had a nice feed of mince last night for her last supper.
She has added to my heart beats, and has given me a deeper empathy for anyone who has to let go of a good mate. I had a drink in her memory tonight.

I love kelpies. They're almost as cool as blue healers.

Sucks to have to make the call between natural causes and being humane when it comes to pets. So far I've been lucky they all died happy in their sleep or ran away.

Interesting thing about mates, even when they are far away they still have influence. I am sorry you had to say good bye to her today, very sad mate. Take care.

Minor thread hi-jack: Yeah, he was meant to appear in Ch-ch court but srprise-suprise, he never fronted up.
One .22 bullet waiting at Chez Scumdog for him should he re-visit.

JOKING of course SD ya forgot ya winkie smilie... remember the pigers with stripes and pips are watching at the mo.
ps: Ill hold em down for ya bloody

Normally appreciate your humour, but think this was not a good place to display it. Fucken disgusting thing to say!

Not impressed at all!

Point taken and I agree but with less agression and more understanding... could you handle SD's job? I couldnt so slack needed at times Mom, read between the lines, SD wouldent do it.

Injection is the correct answer, some older generation would use a gun, in there eyes its the most humain means and has the way they grew up... the poll speaks for its self.
Anyone taking the resopnsability of owning a pet has to relise responsability goes right to the last day, so enjoy every day inbetween.

I am sorry to hear you had to put her to sleep.

[revvinkevin]

Had to have my 13 year old mutt put to sleep around a year ago, still miss her every day but on a lighter note




A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet.
"My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?"
"Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him".
So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down."
"What? Because he's cross-eyed?"
"No, because he's really heavy"

Good one Kev, a bit of light humour always helps

[vifferman]

My condolences, Unit.
Dogs are the best - so loyal and accepting. I still miss mine, and he died nearly 9 years ago.

I had to get my girl (dog) of 11 years put down 3 weeks ago as her hips had gone. Watching her trying to walk really hurt. I took the day of work and spoilet her big time all day. Got her cremated and got the ashes at home. The boy of 8 years really missed her, but he he has being getting lots of cuddles. he got the cat to anoey or vice versa.

yeah i'm also glad you chose the vet... poor doggy...

a dog of ours a few years back had cancer of the eyes, but it was all started by a huge brain tumor poor old german shepherd cross Jen-Jen... she was a sweet old biddy... When she got put down i cried for an entire day...

I'm just scared about my rats now... I only just got them, they're still young and I want them to have the best life possible... they're not a dog... but them being my only pets... Pinky and Goliath mean the world to me... pitty they only live on max about 3 years

The most humane option I am aware of for small animals is gas followed by an injection. Gas costs extra but the fact that the last thing the animal is registering is sleepiness rather than a needle in the stomach makes it worthwhile.

yeah, i couldn't have a snake.. only because i'd have to feed it mice/rats and things... i couldn't do it... I'd cry every time!!...

*doh* I'm too soft for my own good.

Bullet the only way to go my friend. Had a few dogs and stuff, always loved my pets, but when it comes down to it they are only a animal. Injection costs heaps and you take your dog to the vets and they freaking out, then they get jabbed, some more freaking, takes a few minutes before it works and then they gone.
With a bullet the pets happily having a feed or a walk and then BOOM.
Know which way i would rather go.
Each to there own tho, and i do live in the country.
Interesting to see peoples views tho.
