My son has a 150 lb. American Bulldog. It is 14 years old and has had one blown out leg operation. He has some cancer bumps on him and some days his arthritis makes him hobble. Every year my son says "Mom, he is really bad, I don't think he will make it the next three months". That was 3 years ago and he is still happily around for us all to enjoy and he enjoys us. He has a snotty wife who is not patient with the dog. I told my son if he cannot handle himany more (the dog, not the wife) give him to me.

I think I view things differently than most here. First, I understand the financial issues and the sometimes wait and see stance you have to take because you can't afford something. But more importantly, here, I see God's hand at work. See, I do not believe in putting an animal to sleep...for any reason. I know alot of people would give me flack for that, but it is how I feel. I feel that when the time is right for a beloved pet to go to the bridge, God doesn't need any help from man. In HIS timing is my phylosophy. This scenario would have worked great for me......I would not have been faced with the agonising position of everyone telling me the only humane thing to do was put my baby to sleep. God took care of that himself. When I have a pet that everyone else feels should be put down, what I do is ask the vet to give me whatever pain medicine is needed to keep the pain down...doesn' t matter if the dose is way too high if they are gonna pass anyhow....and then I pray for the Lord's will and that he not let my baby suffer and that he give me the stregth to deal with the inevitable loss. I know most people do not see this the way I do. I simply can NOT take a life...any life. (I am a vegitarian, refuse to buy animal skin, ect) BUT, regardless of how any of us feel on this issue, I would beg everyone to keep one thing in mind....we are talking about a pet that has been with this family for 15 years. They must have done something right along the way to have kept her with them for so long. And after all these years, you know this family has to be suffering a great deal. Now is when they need some compassion.. .rather we agree with their actions or not, they are still suffering and deserve our compassion and sympathy for their loss.
