Thought I should share an incident that took me off pets. I was babysitting my nieces and one of their bitches just had a litter. In the middle of the night one of the puppies managed to crawl through a small hole in the chicken wire around thier doghouse. It went missing the whole day. When I found it the following day in a small hole (in the neighdors torn-up yard) it was covered in ants and maggots, but still alive.
I cleaned the bugs off but saw there was a gash running the length of the puppies back (probably from the chicken wire) and the gash was crawling with maggots and ants.
The puppy was feably yelping in pain. The nieces we distressed. I called my brother and asked what he wanted me to do and he told me to put the puppy out of its misery. So i broke its neck.
Haven't been too big on pets since.

Why not?:confused:
J/k. I can see how that would traumatize you. A friend of mine flipped a dead hedgehog over with a stick once when i was 11. the underside was crawling with maggots. scared the shit out of me and i have had a fear of dead things ever since. Even dead bugs freak me out.
