My mother, unable to afford the 80 dollar fee to have her dog euthanized, much less the far more expensive tests and treatments to find out and cure what the fuck is making him refuse to eat and slowly starve to death while vomiting, asked me to shoot him.

So I did.

friday you're more of a man than I ever will be

Okay yeah both our mothers are horrible bitches.

I've done that personally for a friend's dog once, as well as a deer that got hit.

The closer you are to it, the harder it gets.

There's a good line for this for the purposes of bragging rights:

"so i ended up shooting the _____"
"wow... what did you feel when you shot it?"
"recoil"

Still, props on you for doing the right thing. Chances are if you ever get to know any competent doctors, they would tell you their preferential way to go would be buckshot to the head - less chance of being able to feel a thing when all your nerve centres are disconnected.

There's been more than one occasion when I've been too squeamish even to put a small animal a family dog had fatally injured out of its misery.

I didn't offer to go with Dad when he took his dog in to be put down -- would have if he'd asked me to, but I think it was something he needed to do alone.

You did right, and I wouldn't have been able to do the same if it were me.

Offed a baby chick today for this reason.

Went down better than the cats & possums she's crippled (due to their antagonistic actions).

I remember them, but am thankful I don't remember them.

Life experiences I never expected to have:

Being told I have pneumonia; being relieved by this news.

At a young age my dad taught me the importance of pain management. He took a rabbit (that had been mortally wounded on a wire fence) behind a shed and chopped its head off. He was crying (as was I), but it was important, because I know that if I ever had to do something like that, I could. Not because I'm callous, but rather for the opposite reason. Witnessing it really helped me understand that point without having to have it articulated to me.

Please explain. How is having fluid-filled lungs a good thing? I had it once, and it was horrible, I hacked up a gigantic blood-soaked wad of mucus that was of such a strange consistency I couldn't help but wonder if it were in fact a piece of my lung or brain. The brain bit is a bit less ridiculous given the context that I was coughing up shit from both my chest and nose, and it was such a violent round of hacking, I couldn't tell where exactly came from, though I'm pretty sure it was from my lungs as I think my nose wasn't bleeding...

Presumably Thad was worried he had something worse?

Though that's really rough regardless. Goddamnit Thad, what the hell did you do to yourself to catch Pneumonia?

Büge · « **Reply #416 on:** June 23, 2009, 06:44:46 PM »

In Arizona of all places.

Cannon · « **Reply #417 on:** June 23, 2009, 06:45:49 PM »

Get well soon, Thad.

Brentai · « **Reply #418 on:** June 23, 2009, 06:52:57 PM »

Pneumonia's a symptom of respiratory illness, like for example a viral infection. There's, uh, at least one pretty good way to get a viral respiratory infection in Arizona right now.

Which makes the question of "What the hell did Thad think he had" a lot more interesting.

(Unless you meant you very definitely have just pneumonia, in which case okay.)

Ugh. Went to book two tickets for a late July flight on friday, but for reasons beyond my control I had to delay and wait until today to book it. Between then and now the price went up $100 per ticket.
