Music: Witty lyrics-> I used to love her (Guns n Roses) What does it mean?

When you read or hear the lyrics you think the singer had killed a woman and buried her in his home's yard as in horror stories. Listen & read in the link below:

This witty song with lyrics was composed by Slash, one of the band members.
It's about his dog (a bitch). She was ill and suffering a lot. So, he used to love her, but he had to kill her for piety. Then he buried her six feet under in the yard.

Here you are the lyrics:

I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
I had to put her 
Six feet under 
And I can still hear her complain 

I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
I knew I miss her 
So I had to keep her 
She's buried right in my back yard 

I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
She bitched so much 
She drove me nuts 
And now I'm happier this way 

I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
I used to love her, but I had to kill her 
I had to put her 
Six feet under 
And I can still hear her complain
