I hope Moose forgives me when I get to the other side. Dave, What is there to forgive? Moose died in loving hands and it was the only humane way for him to depart. You saved him from a painful death and he is now free of pain and suffering. You gave him a gift, not something to be ashamed of. I too am a christian, and I too honor life but there comes a time when the best we can do is to offer a painfree end to this life and move on to the next. I have had to do this many times since I choose to run a Rescue. It isn't ever an easy decision to make but it is the right one in times of pain and suffering. Take comfort in knowing you did what was right for Moose. He is not free of pain and he is waiting for you on the other side. Best to you and yours. Fred Hurd Reno Ferret Rescue [Posted in FML 5680]
