I work with a lot of injured wildlife. Also not wild animals that are just in a lot of pain. Sometimes I have to euthanize them. I decided to record each animal I euthanize here.

An old golden retriever who was in chronic pain. It was the first house call I'd ever gone on and was less traumatic than expected.
Our vet is a vet on wheels, and consequently, all of our animals at the end have been euthanized at home. I cannot imagine having to bring in a dying pet, particularly if vet-phobic. He even brings the body to the pet crematorium as part of the service, and sends a sympathy card. I know, we are spoiled. Having a caring vet makes a hard task easier.
As I sit here this evening with a 13 year old Golden that's not doing so well, I am reminded of how thankful I am for caregivers like you who make a difference for pet and owners...thank-you for that.

A big thank you for people who have compassion for the little things.
I love animals so much. So glad that you love them too and are able to work showing compassion for them.
