*** begin quote ***
Nobody says, “I hope I die in a hospital bed in the ICU in a lot of pain.” If you were to query your friends, most people would probably say, “I hope I die at home in my sleep.” (In fact, according to some surveys, as many as 70 percent to 90 percent of people would prefer to die at home.) The uncertainty of knowing when and where we will shrug off the mortal coil is a great source of angst for many of us humans. Dogs and cats have it a little different.

Agree. Dying in a hospital is barbaric. Being in a hospital with little hope is pretty bad.
Maybe it’s the time of year or time of my life, but these thoughts are troubling.
Hope people make their pets comfortable.
Losing a pet is hard; losing a spouse hardest think I’ve ever endured.
Argh!
Maudlin.
But this is an excellent idea for the ETHICAL treatment of pets and animals.
