...to be fucking Horrified that my neighbour Killed His Dog??

[ahhyesiseeyouvepooedonyourfoot]

Was chatting to our next door neighbour who is ok (I thought), in his late 40's with a lovely family and his own consultancy business. He mentioned that his dog was incontinent and probably dying and how sad his daughters were about it, all innocently I said 'Ahh thats sad when will you be taking him to vets' he said 'I'm not paying any bluddy vets I'll take him out and shoot him' (he does have guns for hunting)...cue stuttering WTFS??? from me..

He was quite indignant and said 'With our last dog me and a friend took him to a forest and injected him with ketamine, he went straight to sleep its EXACTLY what the vet would do'
I said I'm pretty sure it WASN'T exactly what the vets did and bluffed a bit about knowing they used a cocktail of drugs for different things - which in fact don't know - can any vets confirm for me?

Anyway I asked him to leave my house, I wasnt being all 'PC gorn mad' was I??

hiijack away :) am interested (in a horrified kind of way)

My partners dad did the same with their dog many years ago. As an extra layer of weirdness his dad is a vicar. His attitude was that it was his loved companion, he had been responsible for his life so was also responsible for his death. I think he saw it as the last loving thing he could do for animal that was in pain. He didn't want a stranger to do it, he wanted to do it himself as an act of loyalty.
My partner was shocked but could see the logic in it and had a kind on admiration for is father that he was able to do it - I know I couldn't.

Is the dog actually dead yet?

I’m thinking about why you’re digging up posts that are almost 7 years old to be outraged about them

If he is an experienced marksman, no problem with shooting the dog. It would be quick and painless. A lot of country/farming people do that quite efficiently.
