When one of our dogs died during surgery several years ago, I made myself a promise that when the time came and I was able, I would always be there with them at the end. Our oldest dog came down with diabetes about 3 years ago and it caused her to go blind and deaf. So I got pretty good at doing the insulin shots twice a day too. About a year ago, other body functions started to go and we knew it was time. I find comfort in the fact that she literally put her head down and went to sleep. No quivering, no convulsions, no pain. The drive home alone was tough.
Again, my thoughts are with you.
