Sounds like a hard choice, but IMHO, the right choice. It still sux. <br /><br />Now, this is a result of a goose attack, yes? So, I totally get why you didn't want to have chicken ala Minnie, but is that goose headed to the smoker?Chancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817696993042085671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-48030097104430762512009-05-28T00:58:36.046-05:002009-05-28T00:58:36.046-05:00I'm so sorry.

And once I name them, well, that sorta nixes the whole butchering/eating thing for me :-). I'm a softie, I know.d.a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10701833441665984965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-54036981500612272112009-05-26T11:32:03.972-05:002009-05-26T11:32:03.972-05:00Not to be callous, but had you thought of instead ...Not to be callous, but had you thought of instead of euthanizing her, of having her for dinner? <br /><br />If it were me, even though I love my girls, if it came down to it, and I knew it wasn't something systemic that was bad for me, I'd feel that eating her gave her a good purpose and a sortof "even though I liked you and cared for you, I'm taking you into myself quite literally."<br /><br />When I thought that Brunch might be on the outs, while she is one of my favorites, I was prepared to put an end to any suffering, but make use of her without any waste. Perhaps it's good I butchered one of the original batch of mine, while I'm attached to them, I've gotten over the first hurdle of their deaths. <br /><br />I'm sorry that your Minnie didn't make it, that totally sucks. You should come have some beer to help ease the pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-86901093587695223302009-05-26T11:18:50.261-05:002009-05-26T11:18:50.261-05:00I'm so sorry.
