The guilt is too much to bear
Discussion
Make me feel beter.
Gardening today moving plant pots, piles of leaves and cutting back overgrown plants. Along with the way I found a number of toads which I carefully located to the long wet grass one by one as I was shredding and digging.
Then I am trying to lift out a large plant with a fork and pulled the fork up to see a large toad impaled on one of the fork spikes, through the fleshy bit of the back leg. I slid him off and he crawled away spewing blood dragging the leg. I thought it was cruel to let him suffer so quickly desptached him with the fork and placed him, and his entrails over the fence, thinking at least his body wouild make something a good meal.
A few hours later I went across to the fence for something and he WAS STILL ALIVE AND STILL CRAWLING AWAY, and I couldn't get to him. By the trime I got around he had disappeared.
Now feel like a bad man.

It not the first time execution has gonme astray.
Some years ago I had to end it all for one of my Kid's pet mice which was having fits. I moved the kids upstairs so they couldn't see onto the patio and put the fitting mouse in a large match box to keep it still while the garden spade was brought down with much force. As it impacted I was off centre and the box tray was ejected sideways by the compression of the outer box with the mouse in, straight scross the garden. I had to chase the mouse about the garden with a spade striking at it. The deed finally done, red faced and sweaty I turned to get the plastic bag prepared as the container for Mickey's final journey to see two shocked kids at the bedroom window.
