A DIGNIFIED DEATH THE ELDERLAW FORUM ~ Professor Michael Myers My eldest daughter Mary Beth and her husband Larry had a cat named Barney, who had a dark and resentful personality. Larry loved Barney and allowed him free roam of their upscale Santa Barbara, California, home. Mary Beth did not love Barney and restricted his movement. Thus Mary Beth and Barney labored through 17 years of tempered hostility. Shortly after his 17th birthday Barney became ill. Stoically he went to a dark corner of the home's lower level, away from the light and breeze for the sole purpose of dying, peacefully. Mary Beth was comfortable with Barney's choice. But Larry was not. He insisted they retrieve Barney from his deathbed, transport him to a doctor of veterinary medicine and interrupt the dying process through medical technology. Feeder Heifers: Medium and Large Catheters, transfusions, and $1,300 were employed to deprive Barney from a Frame 1-2: 200-250 lbs 113.00-132.50; natural departure from the California sunshine.
