Ending her suffering quickly when you knew it was time cannot have been an easy call, but sounds like it was the right one.<br /><br />So glad you are continuing with M&T. I read every post, even if I do not comment often. But for a couple of "sliding doors" I might have had a similar life to your own, and as I don't have and now never will I get my livestock fix vicariously from you and a couple of other similar blogs.
