my beautiful corgi was dying and I built a shelter on the porch to keep the rain off her cause she didn't want to come inside. When it got worse and it was getting summer and I knew she wasn't going to make it much longer and didn't have a vehicle and a neighbour suggested that another neighbour was a hunter and maybe he would lend me his rifle or help me end the suffering sixteen year-old..but he didn't want to do that, so I laid her beside the tree in the shade and walked 7 km to go to the post office to get a vet number from the bigger town and then got a cel signal and got a taxi 45 minutes later while I was walking back and we got her to the vet's and I carried her in and insisted to be with her ,and they administered a sedative before the euthanasia dose, and I will be eternally grateful that I was with her when she recognized, then passed away. I buried her where I see her grave whenever I go to the creek, and think of her daily

@atlantic59 I'm so glad you didn't shoot her, it would have been terrribly painful and a dreadful way of ending her life. Not only that it might have taken more than one shot and the first one would have been agonising. It's good you got her to the vet to be put to sleep gently.

@Fluffybull No, but it's sad they are left behind as they must miss this their owners and have to try to get used to new ones.

@NativePortlander1970 I could never see the grim reaper as compassionate some how. Good artist, but not the friendly, loving face you'd want them to see in passing.
@SW-User When I was 17 I read the Incarnations of Immortality for the first time, the first book in the series was about the Reaper, called On A Pale Horse, he portrayed Thanatos, aka the Grim Reaper, as compassionate, an Incarnation that brought pain and suffering to an end. For example, when my Grandfather was dying of cancer in 1992 he was in so much pain his dr prescribed lethal doses of morphine that should have killed him within a day, instead it put him in a weeklong coma, to which he eventually passed from it, he had been rendered to nothing but skin and bones. Understandable we were all affected by his passing, but reading that book a few years earlier helped me deal with his death far better than the rest of the family. I was also his favorite grandchild, he meant the world to me.
