Sometimes compassion takes a little extra courage. You are a brave lady.
@casportpony recently started a euthanasia thread ... you might want to share more there.

Thank you, I will check it out.

Very Sorry for your loss. It is never an easy decision. Know that you gave her the best life she could have. And when the time was right you helped her finish that life with kindness and dignity.

Thanks so much

Off topic...Is there a trick to peeling fresh hard boiled eggs? Lol I swear I'm losing half the egg trying to peel the shell off... I thought I remembered reading somewhere that it's because they're so fresh & they have to sit for awhile, but it was several years ago and I really don't trust my memory, lol. With store bought eggs, I'll rinse them with cold water immediately after boiling and then peel and that always used to work, but these just don't want to cooperate! We also have wayyy too many eggs! I've started giving them away, but we are still over encumbered! Lol

I steam them and then immediately put them in ice water to cool quickly. The steamer works great.

I also want to say that I know what you went through. I spent 2 solid months caring for and tube feeding a sick hen (my favorite one of course) and in the end I had to end her suffering. She'd get better, then slide backwards. I tried everything I could think of to save her, but then she told me she'd had enough. I had to listen and it really sucked. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Yes, it's a learning experience, but damn, it's a painful one.

Hardest part was that just the day before, I had to say goodbye to my oldest German Shepherd, who suffered from congestive heart failure. They are buried next to each other in our back pasture. Was an awful week.
