The daily writing prompt asks – What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make and why?

Wow, the first few I thought of are very personal and I don’t care to share them here. But another very hard decision that has come about a few times is when your pets time has come. Deciding that is horrible if you are faced with it.

I’ve made the decision twice to have pets put down. I made those decisions out of compassion to end suffering. I’ve also had a few that I let go naturally. Either way is very difficult. Pets become family members so it’s an extremely personal thing. Sometimes though I believe we are more compassionate with pets than we are with people.
