Topic	My coworker's dog has cancer. It's bad, and he still won't do the right thing.
Oubliettes 09/30/21 9:10:47 AM #8:	ScarfForLife posted... You'd be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't) how many dog owners cling to their dog with every last ounce of their strength. My Mother-in-law is that way. She had a previous dog who had cancer that she spent a lot of money to have the dog's leg amputated, knowing it wouldn't only give the dog maybe 6 more months to live. Now she took in a new dog who was old and unhealthy when they got it a few years ago. Now the dog has tons of different lumps, her teeth are falling out, she's partially deaf and she has trouble staying on her feet on slick surfaces. She still won't put the damn dog down. It's insane to me and my wife. is it in pain or just a pain in the ass? my dad's cat is 20 and it's mostly deaf and has like cat dementia or something, kinda just paces around in circles, has a big cyst on her face, and has to be spoon fed. he told me he won't put her down because he thinks it's fucked up to just kill something because it's old and has health issues. compared the cat to my 92 y/o grandma who is in a nursing home and basically the same way (dementia, etc.). tbh i'm inclined to agree with him. if the animal is still eating and ambulatory why would you just kill it? --- https://imgur.com/ozVGOuh <cite>Oubliettes posted [p:958555557] in My coworke...
