I love Skye Terriers. RIP Poppy!
Dunno why, but I'm deeply touched by this one.... Yes!... RIP Poppy.
Thank you so much. She was a great dog! Means a lot!
Ye know!... I was involved with the SPCA for more than 12 years, (running it non profit) and every month, when the vet came through to our little village, it was my decision, which dogs & cats has to be put down, cause it's unlikely that we will find a home for them, and yes!!!!!!!!! I am guilty of making the decision on the lives of thousands of dogs & cats, but on average, we had an influx of 26 new strays every month, and we could not keep them indefinitely, so the decision had to be made.....to make room for the next month's influx.....
It is not easier to to decide on the first one as opposed to the hundreth one, but somebody has to decide...... I'll probably go to hell one day, but those that were in my kennels waiting for new homes, know me, and we were great pals..... I was compelled to euthanaze some myself. (i have sleepness nights over all)
I can elaborate on this extremely, but I feel it is not fair that the general buplic shares the trauma experienced by any SPCA worker.....(although, in most cases, they (the general public) are the reason for it).
Many of the animals that I have put down personally were as cute, and as faithfull as Poppy was..... RIP Poppy, and Flame, and Rambo, and Rover, and Lassie, etc. etc. etc. etc.
In afterthought here guys..... go to your local SPCA tommorrow, and adopt something from them, or make a donation to make this charity thing more barable for them........(just say you're donating to the Poppy fund, from 50p to whatever, will be appreciated)
