[quote=Anonymous]Imagine if you had no control of your bowels anymore, and couldn't move your legs to get yourself to the bathroom quickly enough.   Sometimes a nurses aide would pick you up and get you to the bathroom in time, but you're at the mercy of their time schedule so there will be lots of times when you will wet/poop yourself.  And that will be horrifying, because you KNOW better.  And it's wet, squishy, acid eats at your skin, giving you a rash....  You'd be put in a diaper and parked in a chair or bed - and you'd pee and poop yourself and be so unhappy.  Would you honestly like to live like that for days, weeks, months, years?

But we CAN do better for our pets, and we SHOULD do better - and that is the gift of euthanasia.   It isn't because you threw your back out, it's because your loving, sweet, wonderful dog has lived a wonderful life but now is living in pain (trust me, he's in pain even if he's not showing it - but does he lick his lips a lot?  lick one area (like his legs?) alot?  that's because he's in pain and that's one way they show the stress of pain.
