Pet Euthanasia
When do you euthanize a pet? For my writing professor, it’s when you want to piss your readers off. To my sister, it’s when cancer grates a body and livers fail. When dogs fight and clients don’t pay. Intra-muscular Telazol and six minutes to fade. Leering over, the vets pierce the skin soft as mushrooms and inject the pink juice. Too much Euthasol for you? You grab the splintered foot, shave the patterns and press into a paw mold. Try not to overheat the kiln, or you’ll have to make another Christmas ornament from a boarding dog. Toss the body into the fridge next to Tuesday’s sandwich and the Cerenia. Scrub the table with Roccal-D, sign a client condolence card. When the pudged cremator comes, laugh every time he says It’s a dead dog in a feigned British accent. Wonder why poor humor helps him with his job. If carrying carcasses to the oven every day helps him overcome death.
