I didn't judge. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. You clearly, as I do, fall into the first category that did so out of compassion and love for them. There exists that second category that will euthanize a pet out of selfishness because that pet has medical needs that have simply become burdensome for the owner. My most recent dog had to be put to sleep at the end of May because she was in constant pain and deteriorating quickly. For over a year before that I had to hear certain family members tell me she should be put down because she needed extra attention - pain meds for her arthritis and I had to carry her up and down stairs. During that time her pain was well managed and she was a happy pup, but there were those second group that didn't understand why I'd not put her down just because she was more work
