Losing any pet is a terrible thing, they become part of the family.

 

It was particularly upsetting because she was just a baby...

My last dog was 15!

 

Sorry about both losses, I was really tore up for awhile after my last cat died.

 

Molly didn't bother me as much. She literally died in my arms, and I cried uncontrollably, but she was old and not enjoying life. She was really suffering due to kidney failure and arthritis, but she was over 100 in dog years. She lived an unusually long life for a Lab. Mandy was started to suffer too, but she was only like 6 years old in dog years.

 

Mom shot one of our cattle dog pups when I was 4. The dog was not even a year yet and got bite by a brown recluse spider. It was flopping around for a bit so my mom had to end it. Funny enough my first childhood memory is around 3 1/2 my mom put a slug in the head of one of our horse cause she broke her leg in the pasture. A purina dog food truck came in picked her up

 

Note to self: Don't feed Purina to next dog...

 

Horse meat is good meat. The Japanese eat it raw(horse sashimi) French and Italians eat it too.

 

I guess it's not as messed up as eating dog meat...

@El Duderino

Why specifically did your mom shoot your Cattle Dog? It got bitten by a Brown Recluse and was seizing?

 

Its amazing how our pets become involved in our lives, my cat loves to come in the garage, she is not afraid of loud noises or any power tools and is right there by my side.

 

Have had that too in Vietnam and the Philippines. Chewy didn’t really like it and didn’t know I was eating at the time.

 

I could never eat a dog; I respect other cultures, but what gets to me is how the dogs they use for meat are tortured prior to consumption...

 

Yea. They have killed a few of our dogs before. They don’t come out of that shit they end up suffering for a bit.

 

Agreed but I eat veal

 

So if my dog gets bitten by a Brown Recluse spider, we have to take him/her on a one-way trip to the vet?!?!

 

Good point...

The thing is that I see something different with dogs! I am borderline carnivorous, but I could never knowingly eat a dog. When my dad was on deployment in South Korea back in the 80s, he believes the staff of a restaurant used the language barrier to serve him "Fido".

 

Depends on the size of the dog and how far. Our ranch was no where near a vet.

 

Does it always mean the dog will have to be put down? I consider shooting a suffering animal to be a humane coup de grâce, if you know where to shoot the animal...

 

Back of head, base of skull. Cuts the cranial nerves they don’t feel a thing.

 

To be honest, I wish it were legal nationwide for terminally humans to be euthanized like a dog if they so wished, especially after witnessing the last few months of my Grandma's life...
