Problem: Article: Veterinarians are taught to consider the quality of life of their patients when considering euthanasia. This means that they should present to you all treatment options that they think could help your pet before suggesting euthanasia. Ask your veterinarian any questions you have, such as what the process will entail and what makes them sure that euthanasia is the right choice. If the veterinarian does not believe that there is a reasonable treatment that could help the pet then they will suggest euthanasia as a compassionate and caring option. Ask questions such as "Will I be allowed in the room with Rufus?" "Will he feel pain?" "How long will the process take?" A good vet will take the time to explain the process to you. Take time to consider your options. Deciding to euthanize your dog is a very difficult decision that requires some contemplation. Think about your dog, whether they are in pain, and whether they have any quality of life left. Use these questions to think and debate your options. In some cases you will not have very much time to debate your options. If your dog is in an emergency situation you may be required to make the decision quickly. Discuss the situation with those closest to you. Ask them if they have any experience with euthanasia and how they dealt with it. They can help console you and, in some cases, they can help you to make the hard decision to euthanize your dog. Small children in your family should be told that the pet will be gone soon. How you do this is up to you but it should take the children's feelings about the pet into consideration. You can try saying, "Sam hasn't been feeling well for a while. We don't want him to be in pain, so the vet is going to give him medicine that will ease his pain. Sam will die, but that is what is best for him."

This is a time to make some wonderful memories with your pet before you have to say goodbye to it. Quality time with a pet that is ill could just mean quiet times together. Pet your dog softly and keep it nice and warm. Feed it food it loves and pamper it in any way that you can.

You do not need to prune the tree since the harvesting process will take care of that. You'll know when the tree is ready for harvesting when the bark turns brown and the leaves grow firm. Choose 4 to 6 straight, healthy-looking stems, then use a fine-toothed saw to cut them down until they are 1.5 to 2.5 inches (3.8 to 6.4cm) long. Make sure the cuts at 30-degree angles, slanting towards the middle/inside of the tree. It would be even better to do so during the rainy season as the bark will be easier to peel away. Something between 3 and 4 inches (7.6 and 10.2cm) would be ideal. Use a sharp knife to slice the bark apart lengthwise (from top-to-bottom) on each mini shoot. If the harvested stem was older, you may have to cut a little into the wood. Use your fingers or a knife to pry the bark away from the wood. Once you have the bark peeled off, set it out in a shady area for about 4 to 5 days so that it can dry out. The bark will start to curl up naturally on its own after you peel it. This is your cinnamon stick! like many other spices, cinnamon can last a long time. This means that your original batch of harvested cinnamon should last you until the next harvest. You can harvest 4 to 6 stems every 2 years. If this is an indoor tree, you can cut the stems shorter if they are growing too long. Left to itself, a cinnamon tree can grow up to 8 feet (2.4m). Don't harvest the same stems each time.

One-sentence summary --
