I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've had to have quite a few pets put down and it is always the worst thing I've ever had to do. I always tell people who are faced with this, "It is not the death you would wish for them, but it is the best death you can give them." Best wishes, Annie

thanks, Annie. That's a good description of it. I'm a firm believer in "better a day too early rather than a day too late."

I would have liked to have had 24 hours alone with him to spoil him and fuss over him, but I know he was in pain, and I couldn't run the risk of him breaking his leg when I live 30 miles away from my vet.
