re: Anyone here ever personally put down a pet

When I was in high school, my mom accidentally ran over the family cat. We thought it was dead and my mom and sister just couldn't pick her up and bury her. Dad was at work so I was left to do it. It was very sad.

Picked it up, placed it in an old grocery bag, and dug the hole. When I placed her in the hole, she meowed again. I was shocked because I thought she was dead. So in an instant, I made the executive decision to not bury her alive and put her out of her misery right then and there before burying her.

I still am haunted by having to do that. Sometimes I even have nightmares where that little bitch comes back and is a demon, terrorizing me and my family.

True story.
