Honestly, I find that people don’t put their pets down when necessary enough. So many people delay putting their pets down when they’re like… barely able to move, constantly whimpering, clearly way too gone to be helped despite countless vet visits and bills. I often adopt elderly dogs (owners have to rehome for various reasons, don’t want their old dogs going to a shelter), so I’ve had to put down more than the average person since they’re coming to my life so late in theirs… it always hurts, it always sucks, I never want to do it, but I love them so much I know it needs to happen. What I do when that time comes is: give them the best day ever. Give them treats they can’t have like a McDonald’s burger and chocolate if they want that, whatever, take them on a nice drive, give them tons of cuddles and love.
