We had an acre fenced with chain link and converted more than half of it into lawn grass. The true good heart was our wonderful Vet! He refused to charge us office visits, I had his home phone number since we would usually have a least 1 dog who was in end stage cancer. It was a fine line to decide when quality of life was too far declined to continue. Dr. Fox was the most compassionate Vet I have ever worked with...he's retired now.
For the most part I have more compassion for animals than I do people LOL...present company excluded of course!
