I wasn't saying it's wrong NowhereMan i just mean i didn't know it was done, also i didn't get te part in your post where you said you'd rather shoot me than him, sorry, just didn't get it lol, but yeah, i understand where you're coming from, as lethal injection is a slow death, whereas a bullet to the brain is instant, and you can be there when it happens, rather than watching your best friend slowly shut down and slip away.
That was quite a sad story, felt like i knew the dog
i'm the way penguin,but it's more because they're going into the great mystery of afterlife,maybe they've got it better,maybe they've got it worse,either way passing on is a natural part of life,if we all say marijuana should be leagalized be cause it is a free growing natural plant why should we be scared of something as natural as death?it's going to happen wether i'm 20 or 159 but to be honest,i'd rather it happen at 159 ;) why go into the unknown while your still exploreing the unknowns of life
People used to put down their own pets a lot; not so much any more. The vets make it east, maybe too easy. I always think of the movie Old Yeller.
Once a girlfriend asked me to shoot her cat. I felt she was just trying to save the odd $40.00, and examined the cat myself and determined it didn't deserve being shot. Paid half the vet's bill (to have the cat tended to, not put down), and re-evaluated the relationship with the girl. I figured, if she'd have me shoot the cat just because she wasn't willing to care for it, what if I got a cold or something?

when I reach 77 I want my kids to finish me off
lol
couple bags of smack and a clean point will put any small critter down fast and painless..not as messy either but if you are out side the city in an area that you can still discharge a firearm with out the gestapo swooping down on your house then a bullet is just as good
Whats a clean point?Quote:

As for my animals, they all get very anxious & scared when it's vet time, so I'd prefer they just passed all comfy at home. My vet intern friend told me that when the time came, she'd come over with the necessary things (not a gun, but the injection or whatnot) & help me out. She's married & moved away now though, so she doesn't keep in touch. But ideally, that's the sort of thing I would want for my babies when they are too old & sick to enjoy their happy lives.
Ugh, this has made me sad. :(
