I just hate them. I don't know why. If I see a cat while I'm driving I try to run over it. I just hate cats. To me they are just another rodent

The fact that you would do that to a cat at all, not to mention that you might be killing someone's pet tells a lot about you. I'm glad I don't know you, but I see someone try to intentionally run over an animal, I'll get the license plate and turn their arse in. I hope to hell someone does that to you.

People should quit trying to humanize their pets. It's to the point now where people treat their animals better than their kids or parents.

How old is the dog?

Our dog needed chemo and a leg amputation at 11 years old. We would not have done it, but my aunt (she has the dog now) was dead set on getting it all done. Dog goes through a leg amputation and 3 months of chemo. She had to be put down 5 months after that. I don't understand putting an animal through major surgery followed by chemo (even though the vet swore up and down chemo isn't the same for dogs and humans) at any point, let alone she was 11 years old and feeble.

ever think of just changing his diet?

probably not, nobody does.

Tough decision all the way around man. Even though they are just animals, we become so emotional attached and invested into them as they are with us. Sorry man.

But dat unconditional luv doe!

Your dad's boss is a fricking idiot that has more money than sense.

Yeah I know. This doesn't make any sense to me but the dog was like a daughter to him and his wife. He said he would have spent another 10k to have one more month with her.
