thanx for bringing back fucked up memorys for all us former and current dog owners dude...putting down a beloved family member sucks ..there is no way around it IT SUCKS ..but sometimes its got to be done ...it dosnt matter how you do it as long as its quick and painless to the animal ..its always painful to the person who is stuck with this chore .i know when my times up i would rather be surounded by people who i love and to be some place familur preferably out doors ..i would never want my or my pets spirit left in some cold and lonely clinic
