We have had to put down 3 of our beloved 4 legged family members in the last 25years and those expereinces have been the most heart wrenching things we have had to do in the 40 years we have been together. All 3 died in our loving arms at the vet, which is even harder at least on us, but we owed them that and wanted it that way. We now have two more and it won't be any easier when their times come, but we just don't think about that.
We already had abundant tears before the vet even got back with the dreaded needle.
