The Hardest Decision

(This is the translation of Miss Dolito’s blog. I stands for Miss Dolito.)

The last thing I want to hear is when the owners take their severely sick and dying pets to me, and ask me if they should have the pets put “to sleep.”

However, it happens a lot. Whenever it happens, especially when the pets start with “I can’t make it. I don’t have much time to spend with you. I’m so worried about you,” I try to hold my tears but the owners can’t stop crying already, and I end up crying with them all the time.

I’m not God. I can’t decide whether and when they should live or die. All I can say is: “Don’t let them feel the pain. If you can ask the vets for some pain-killers and make them comfortable, that would be the best for them.”

When humans are dying, they have hospices to be taken care of  for the rest of their time. I hope there can be hospices for animals as well. A place where the owners can spend their casual time with the dying pets can certainly make both the owners and the pets feel better. Isn’t it a good idea?
