My heart and prayers go out to you...My lovely Lola died in august of this year and I put a tribute up on Freeper to her...in it I described how she died quietly at home....

The unbelievable meaningful and compassionate responses I received from Freepers was the most comforting to me, along with my close friends. I am now at a place where I can begin to Freepmail and thank them.
Do not rush...take your time, make your beloved Person in a Fur Coat as comfortable as possible...You will know, I never thought I would know...
I had arranged—asked—2 years ago (Lola was 13 y/o then) my vet who was wonderful, whenever it might be needed when the time came, would she come to the house. She said , of course yes. When Lola’s time came I called the vet that morning, but pupster quietly slept into heaven 2 hrs before the vet came. Please Try to set it up now..to at least prepare and get agreement for the vet to come to your house, if needed.
The doggie will be there with you, and then he will go to Doggie Heaven. I also will be glad to recommend some books if you want to deal with all this.
But mostly, know that your soulful companion loved you very much and had a wonderful life and you will meet again, somehow. He trusts you now to care for him and help him on his journey. Feel Free to freepmail me if you want.
who has the doggie ping?
