You are clearly a better person than me. I want to be a burden on no one nor do I want my parents to be a burden to me(they feel the same) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to explain what a shtick is. FTR i've been this way since I was a 12-13 yo kid and watched my grandmother live out a slow painful death from cancer. Followed by my grandfather and then my grandfather on the other side and an uncle. I would not allow my pets to go through that pain and keep them alive just because.

When I'm no longer able to live in my own home and take care of myself that's probably it for me. I was a burden on them as a child so I'm just going to try and return the favor if I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
