Euthanasia: A Loving Choice

[Guest guest]

Mark,

You wrote, " My Siberian Husky is sick and we are going to have to

put her down. She has Liver cancer and I don't want her to suffer

anymore. "

I am sorry to hear that your beloved Husky is so ill. Thank God that

you have the ability to allow her to die with respect and dignity. I

was caring for our family dog when everyone was out of the country

and was in a position to make this decision. Though it was hard, it

was the only loving thing to do.

All I can make that decision on is my own opinion of what her (my

dog's) quality of life was then and would subsequently be, had she

continued living with cancer. There is an unspoken language that

tells us when they are ready.
