Look. This is the deal. I grew up on a beef farm. Been around animals all my life. As bad as it sucks to put a beloved animal or family pet down, it is a necessary part of farm life. I don't enjoy it but better to end their suffering than to prolong their life for my own enjoyment.

I'm sorry! I only thought I grew up under those circumstances.

Well the dog isnt dying for fuck's sake. But I agree with you for the most part, I just don't want to be the one to do it.
My grandpa has a farm, don't think I didn't eat a tear stained pork chop or two.

At least I tried.

It's the right thing to do. My ten year old Weimaraner is paralyzed in half of her face. All three of my parent's past German Shephards had hip and spinal problems, and were paralyzed later in their lives. Some get stuck with it early, some late, and some get screwed throughout the dog's life. Fortunately, the companionship aspect far outweighs all of this.

To be clear: the dog is no pain right now, she just doesn't have full range of motion and left untreated, her hip will degenerate into an arthritic nightmare.

Back Story: The asshole that dropped the dog at my neighbors house put a boot to her hip/leg when she was about 6 weeks old. Broke her femur and shattered her hip socket. I don't want this animal living a life of avoidable pain because of some redneck fuckstick. I have the means and I can fix it.

Call me a softie if you must.

I'm going to call you my new hero. Period.

Just a difference.

The cattle we were fattening up for our own use I named while I was fattening them and while I was getting fat from them.

Unfortunately I do not.

If I find out who he is, however, I'm finding a way to cost that motherfucker $1K.

wes, I hereby take back everything I ever said on this board or any other about you being a crotchety grumpy old fart. This is one of the kindest, sweetest things I have ever read. Annie will love you unconditionally either way, but you are doing the right thing by her. What a good man you are.

Merry Christmas, wes.

Change her name to Lucky.

Post-op update:

Monday night Annie was pitiful. Couldn't move, pissed on herself, lots of whining/pain.

Fast forward to Tuesday morning and she was a new dog. Tail wagging, running around and generally acting like herself.

Those little pups are so fucking resilient it's scary.

Annie also has a Santa in our own Harvey Birdman. Thanks for the gifts, Steve.
