  aye. made the torturous (but morally sound) choice to kill her humanely. and while it was the right thing to do, i will never forgive myself.

  thanks. and agree. i'm not sure i would change that, though; their relatively brief lifespan is part of the special sauce. their death /should/ be tragic. george carlin understood this. and now... so do i. because the grief is proportional to the love, it should hurt like a mother fucker if you did your job right. and... it does. because i did. no regret. only grief.

  I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been through it also and it's brutal. The vet said that people often wait too long the first time they have to make the decision. Even though you know it's the only option, it's still so hard.

  i probably did wait too long. but without an obvious tell, you do the best you can. reconciling my commitments to "best life" and "dignified death" took... work and... bitter honesty about what she had already lost. life isn't always worth living and that makes me sad.
