I would rather... put down something I loved too early, before it's time, than too late, when they'd have to suffer because of my inability to let go.
Sometimes it's okay for me to be selfish.. but when I've had to give my parents my opinion on putting down almost any pet...
I would rather do it too early.

I'm letting them go with dignity. I'm trying to keep them from hurting any more. That's what counts.
