-to decide to euthanize your favorite pet.
Grayson was not even a year old but the best little silkie rooster he could be. You could see the pride he took in taking care of the flock even though he was the youngest. I raised him from his second day of life and from then on he wanted nothing more than a good neck rub (which he received every evening as he sat on my chest and extended his neck over my shoulder).
I did my best to provide a perfect home life that was secure and healty.

When he first got sick I started searching for answers and did whatever it took to try and make him well, but to no avail. This morning he lost control of both legs and I knew it was the day. To prolong it would be nothing more than selfish. I thought I would be OK as I knew that it was the right thing to do, but as soon as the veterinarian did the injection, a sadness came over me in a way that is indescribable. The tears still roll down my face.
It is a terrible thing to choose for something to die when you want it to live.
Goodbye Grayson
