Chloe, my 16 year companion of the JRT persuasion, has been getting weaker and weaker. She could barely stand this morning and I owed her the kindness. Farewell my sweet girl, you were the epitome of a good dog.

The Last Battle.............

If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from my sleep, Then will you do what must be done, For this — the last battle — can’t be won. You will be sad I understand,
But don’t let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn’t want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where to my needs they’ll tend, Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don’t grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We’ve been so close — we two — these years, Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
 
Last night

The way to an animal's heartis through the stomach. Keep it up and you'll have a pet fox.

My wolf dog does it the same way. Even though she knows me, and knows its for her, when i give her a treat the first thing she does is runoff a ways. I reckon it the wild portion.

these days though she'll run 10 feet and drop it and loo at me like "I dont want this crap" so I go to get it and she;ll grab it and run 10 feet and do the same thing. finally after a bit of that she'll gobble it down. Makes me laugh every time.

Or she'll ignore me until I throw her treat over the fence to the neighbor's border collie, then look at me like I had betrayed her eternal soul.

I think it just comes down to an age old control of the food mechanism.
 
I cut the meat off to lure them close, then use the bone to spring the trap.

I at leat hope you remove that spike, bone tendon that lays against the bone before giving it to them.

No joke, I've fed hundreds of drumsticks to my yard foxes, always making sure to remove that splinter bone, I saw one kit with something stuck in it's throat. His father brought him up to my deck to try and get him to eat the catfood I tossed down. It was heart breaking.

Grey fox fathers are the best parents.
