    That is just horrible. I get pretty peeved when people bring animals to the shelter along with the excuse 'I don't want them anymore', but I suppose at least they're giving them a shot at a better life. How harrowing for you to have to witness irresponsible ownership in full swing. I found euthanasia surprisingly easy to bear witness to whilst I was working at a vets, but I know that if I'd have seen it performed on perfectly healthy animals, then I too would have felt horribly guilty.

    Oh I do feel guilty. It was the last thing I wanted to do.

    That is the saddest story I've heard in a long time. RIP sweet pups. I hope you find peace at the rainbow bridge.

    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    Our dogs are considered "property" under the law & Vets sometimes have
    no good options available. Yes, there are some Vets who refuse to put down
    a healthy animal, it won't stop stupid people who want to end their lives.
    There are others Vets who will do it.

    In a perfect world, every pet would have a loving home & a place to grow
    old gracefully. Maybe someday.
