I figured it looked pretty bad off and contemplated shooting it, to put it out of it's misery. But I decided it was on it's last breaths anyway. So this morning, there it was all splayed out. Dead as a door nail.
I buried it in a sleeping position out by the tree line. So it could watch over the meadow....

Thank you very much for that heart warming post!
I had to do the same thing to a gray squirrel the other day. He evidently got hit by a moving vehicle and couldn't move, he was conscious but just layed there. I put him to sleep and then gave him a proper burial in the woods near an oak tree.
I love animals and don't like to see them suffer.
