I totally know how you feel. I had to do the same thing for my Buzzy last month. Like easttxchick said, you didn't kill Nosey Nellie. You took away her pain. You let her get away from it to a better place. It will hurt you -- I still get choked up thinking about my girl. But it helps to know that she is not hurting anymore. If she could, I'm sure she'd thank you for what you did, and that you had the heart and compassion to do it.

I am so sorry for your loss.

She must have known that she was loved so much.

This isn't about a chicken but about a dog I loved dearly. She came into my life when I needed the comfort and she stayed by my side thru everything. I took her everywhere. Even to work at times. She was loving and loyal and never asked for anything but to let her be my friend. She was more than a friend. She was part of me. Everywhere I went she was right with me. As she got older it was harder for her to follow me around but she would find a comfy place where she could keep an eye on me. She ws my best friend I could ever have. The best dog anybody could have. She wouldn't let strangers near me and always remembered friends even if it had been years. She would greet friends with a smile. Everybody always says they remember her by her smile.

She was having a hard time with her artheritis in her hips and legs so I was helping her get around and giving her pain meds to ease her pain. Till she started vomiting and couldn't poop. After many tests at the vets office it was determined she had cancer in her bowls and was in horiffic pain. She wouldn't survive surgery and wouldn't live much longer and would die suffering. So I had to do the responsible thing and it was breaking my heart. I prayed this day would never come and it had. I wasn't ready for her to go. She was still at the vets office and I made sure I took care of all the business I had to take care of before I went to be with my friend. I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything when I left. My friend and I had a connection. We didn't have to be in the same room to communicate. She was talking to me, she wanted to be with me because she knew she was dying and I explained to her that she was going to a better place. The doctor will give her a shot and she will drift off to sleep and when she woke she would be in heaven. And that I would be there when it was my time to join her. She won't be suffering anymore and she will feel young again and run and play with the other dogs while she waits for me. She let me know it was ok, she wasn't scared and that she loved me.

As she fell asleep I hugged her and told her I loved her very much and I was sorry she got sick but it will all be alright now. When she was gone I'm sure everybody in the vets office heard me wailing. I was so heart broken to have lost my friend. As of Sept 13th it will be a year since the worst day of my life. My heart still hurts talking about her and the tears fall all on their own still. My grandsons don't even talk about her much because they loved her very much also. She is my Avatar. Her name is Sissy and she was a chow mix I got from somebody that brought dogs to the walmart parking lot to find them homes.

When I looked down into the pen she was in, she looked as lonely and broken as I felt. So she came home with me. One day, I'll go home to her.

I understand how you feel. Everytime I think of her still, I cry. I am so so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry. I'll be facing that dreaded moment very soon... I think my Dixie has Marek's. She is one of our first two chickens and she's not doing well.
Hugs to you.
