Subject: RE: BS: Help: Time to Put the Old Girl Down
Jed, the best vets understand not only the animals they treat but their human caretakers' love for them as well. Vets keep them alive when it takes a level of skill above what most people possess. Ending their lives compassionately also requires skill. If you took Maggie in when she was sick, you fulfilled a responsibility to do what was right. If you take her in now, I believe it fulfills your responsibility in the best possible way for her.

Oh well, by now you've probably made up your mind. Whatever you do, I hope her passing is swift and painless and your memories of good times are strong. I'm sorry for your loss, Jed, but 'there are no roads that do not end'.
