I have been present at the euthanasia of 7 of 10 previous pets, and it truly was a "gentle death" - but that's another debate.<br />BTW, one who died "naturally", of a massive stroke, was Max the amazing dachshund, who was in a wheelchair for 10 of his 13 years. <br />Still, besides personal POA's, what is the advice for providing for those pets who survive us? We currently have 3 dogs and two cats. One of the dogs was an unexpected "inheritance" from a deceased friend for whom I am executor. He did not come with a trust fund. We do not want to repeat that favour, though he is a sweet dog.

But on the side, this will surely help those who are deciding whether or not POA is suited for personal and health care.

Wh...Thx Denis,<br /><br />One of my favorite expressions is:<br /><br />When you are faced with decision,<br /> make that decision as wisely as possible -then forget it.The moment of absolute certainty never arrives.<br /><br />While in this case you can leave out "then forget it". But the quote is still applicable. You never know the exact right time to put down a pet and we discussed this decision with several pet experts and friends with pets (not noted in the blog) before coming to the decision.<br /><br /> The Blunt Bean Counterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358868550072516313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-26909385377919777912016-02-16T05:38:17.279-05:002016-02-16T05:38:17.279-05:00Putting down a family pet is a tough decision.I ha...Putting down a family pet is a tough decision.I have been watching cat video channels, (especially tinykittens.com), and have seen a few of the foster kittens not make it. There are times when no matter what, they just aren't going to make it. I thought I would let you know that sometimes despite all, a kitten DOES make it, that the vet suggested putting the animal down, and the kitten goes on to become an amazing kitten. Cassidy on that tiny kittens website is one such kitty, and is a favourite of many a kitten cam watcher. It all comes down to quality of life. The foster mom for Cassidy is giving him an amazing quality of life, and despite missing part of his back legs climbs cat trees, and runs fast enough to be hard to catch! He is loved, and that is what matters. Take a minute or two to watch some of the videos Shelly has made of him and you will see. Your pet had some serious problems and for him, it was a blessing to ease his suffering. No one can fault you for making that decision.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198831112634827857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-46054762907878950182016-02-15T20:27:30.001-05:002016-02-15T20:27:30.001-05:00thx Anon, very insightfulthx Anon, very insightfulThe Blunt Bean Counterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358868550072516313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-2898740342108845462016-02-15T17:23:26.656-05:002016-02-15T17:23:26.656-05:00Mark,
