So sorry for your loss. All my dogs go while I hold them in a loving embrace.

I held him closely as the Vet gave him the meds to relax him and put him to sleep and then gave him the second shot. I told him I loved him with a full heart the whole time.

Laid there with him for awhile after it was over and just pet him saying it was all ok now. I love him so much I couldn't let him suffer. And I miss him so much already. Fighting to hold the tears back just isn't working.

It's just me in this house now and I can't stand it.

I personally don't like how they put they down now. I thought the best and fastest way was when the used a rubber tube around the legs, injected Pentothal and when they released the tubing it was instant.

Seriously get yourself a rescue dog of any breed and age you desire (not that it matters). I have put many a dog down and a new one helps me and my wife over the pain.
