agent, not really a dumbass thread, i was considering what would be the fastest, most humane way to put down a dog, and wondered if anyone had ever done it themself...delta was put to sleep at noon today, peacefull, but a bit too long for us who were at her side.a 13 year old doberman has lived a long time for the breed, she was a parapeligic for the last few days, but when we started to carry her to the office she decided to walk! almost made it !i believe she had some understanding of where she was.. p.s. all of our dogs are creamated and returned to us in a small cedar box. too many boxes...we are busy keeping our other dogd occupied as they do not yet realize delta is gone.. they will, been through it before...p.p.s. my kids never had a toothache, as thier old man was a dentist !!!
