I just put my dog to sleep and now my family is mad at me?! Now what?
Our dog was 4 years old and she had recently started to limp. I hated to see her suffer anymore so I made the difficult decision to bring her to the vet and had her put to sleep. My family is very mad at me but somebody had to make this decision. I probably should have told them that I was going to do it and let them say goodbye but I did not want to make the decision any harder and I did not want the dog to suffer any more. They said that the reason they are mad is that I did not try to get the dog treated for the limp and that I just went and put it to sleep. They say the limp was not even bad. Well what was I spose to do I made the hard decision so the stupid dog would not suffer any more and this is my thanks? Should I by them a new dog to replace the old one or just tell them to go to hell and get over it!?
I can not believe that you would say that I should not have another dog?!? I was very good to my dog she had the best food and a nice bed. I miss her alot also you know! It was a hard decision for me to make nobody should have to make that decision. I had to get extra drunk that day before I brought her to get put to sleep just to be able to make the decision thats how hard it was for me. It was not easy.

I say troll, many can be found in this section. Don't get worked up kiddies, the troll is seeking attention which you will give if you lose the plot and become a keyboard warrior.

Probably trolling, but I'll answer anyway. By the way, the whole *getting drunk* part was a pretty clear give away, unless you're just a horrible person.
"Wait, she started to limp so you killed her? DOGS AREN'T HORSES and even horses can be saved when they go lame!
"Stupid" dog? What is WRONG with you? Please, NEVER own another animal. You killed this dog simply because it had a hurt leg?? How would you like it if I shot you in the head because you sprained your ankle?
You are an idiot plain and simple. You murdered that poor dog unnecessarily. A limp is NOT a serious affliction for a dog. You should have had more testing done to determine the problem. People like you disgust me. Murderer."

**I'd like to address the fact that while this does seem like a troll, people like this DO exist. My time working in shelters and with a rescue is what make a part of me believe this could actually be real. There are people who have given their dogs to the SPCA (basically to be killed) because they peed on a rug twice. And the stories only get worse..

Your dog had a limp. So you put it to sleep? What the heck. I'm sorry, but your poor dog! If she was only 4, she wasn't suffering! You could've just gotten her a brace or gone to the vet to see what caused the limp! For heaven's sake, she might have just had a rock imbedded in her paw, your family has every right to be mad at you. Go buy your family a new dog, this was not your decision to make.

Honestly if this is true and you're not just trolling I wouldn't get another dog. It sounds like you didn't even consider having the vet evaluate the problem and have it properly treated. How about your car? Do you just toss it because you get a flat tire?
It seems like you're better off without a dog. Your family has every right to be mad at you.

You're fukkkkn stupid. Why would you out a dog to sleep or limping??? Would you put your mom to sleep if she started limping??? The dog could have just injured itself temporarily. Those kind of things can heal. You don't deserve to lay a hand on an animal again. I'd hate you too if I was your family.

Can not decide if just stupid. Or troll. On the safe side in answer to your question... You are a idiot.. And you should get a new dog. But the same breed. And maybe different gender.

You should have at least tried to treat it, unless you could not afford treatment, or the vet said there was nothing that could be done, there was no reason to but the dog down..

putting to sleep is only to be used as a last resort...
when every single option is exhausted
