I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words about Murphy’s passing. I also wanted to put in a plug for at-home pet euthanasia. What a different and wonderful experience. No stress for Murphy at all, he just slipped away on his favorite rug. Here’s a funny photo of him from the vault. #dogsofmastodon #dogs #petloss #euthanasia
@madrobin condolences, but it is nice to hear that your pet passed peacefully and in a comfortable place.
@madrobin we used an at home doctor when our German Shepherd was at her time in 2015 and as terrible as everything was, it was a much better experience for all of us. When her sister passed two years ago, she passed naturally, but we still had the doctor come and take her for cremation. Again, a much better experience. If it’s within your budget, I highly recommend it. And I also recommend scoping out options well in advance of when you might need it.
@madrobin we’d never do it any other way. A wonderful service.
@madrobin May Murphy's memory be a blessing.
I totally agree about at-home pet euthanasia. That's what I did with two senior cats a few years ago, when their times had come. After going this route with the first one, I had zero hesitation about doing the same with the second one, about a year later.
