    So sorry to hear that Arlen. In the photos you have posted Pip always looks so very happy to just be with you, I know it must not have been an easy decision but it does sound like you've made the best of a bad situation. I wish you a safe flight my friend one of these days perhaps, you and your lovely bride will come to Canada.

    Aw, man...
    That really saddens me.
    My dogs are my fuzzy children... I can't imagine having to make a choice like that, about a family member.

    Arlen,

    I am so sorry you have to leave Pip behind. I hope that he can be found by someone he can love as well as he loves you. I understand that he is not as important as your wife, but that you are torn by this decision.

    We look forward to meeting you.

    Be well,

    Star

    As a veterinarian, I resent the implication that we "murder" pets. I feel that allocating funds for the care of 10 or more, young, healthy, good-natured pets rather than one older pet with ill health is a wrenching and horrible decision for those who work in these so called "murder" adoption centers, and judging them as murderers is hasty and cruel.

    I also feel that euthanasia of vicious or unsocializable animals is appropriate, rather than putting people in danger. Maybe I'm a bit biased as I was bitten in the face by a dog today, but I hope some can see my point.

    Arlen, I'm sorry if I hijacked this thread in any way.

    Be well,

    Am I hi-jacking a thread already hi-jacked? I hope not, so:

    Arlen, please know that most of us understand the heart-wrenching grief that comes from having to choose. Our thoughts are with you.

    F-H.C.A.G, rest easy, please. Euthanasia is a wonderful resolve for those who must watch -- but not intimately experience -- never-ending pain and, perhaps, for those who are living it. Capital punishment for humans and other animals is anentirely seperate issue. I am absolutely certain you will agree,and propose a seperate thread if you think that is appropriate.
