This article was linked to on MSN tonight and I thought it made for some interesting, though sad, reading about putting a dog down. http://slate.msn.com/id/2090327/
We've not had to cross this road with our dogs, and I dread it when they finally go. But, like the author said,
It is the nature of dogs to live much shorter lives than ours—just eight years, on average—and it has always been my belief that to love and own a dog is to understand and accept that along with loyalty, love, and devotion come the ever-present specters of grief and loss. This is as integral a part of the dog-loving experience as going for walks.
What are your thoughts, if this is not too painful a subject?
When is it time to let them go?
