Pedro (Siamese) loved the heat of the sun and after he was too sick to go out followed the sunlight around the house and layed on the floor wherever it came in. When the time came, my mobile vet came to the house and I held him in my arms in the sunlight when the anesthesia was administered until he fell off to sleep. The the chemicals that took his life were injected and I held him in a towel until it was over.

Best thing I ever did for him.

I envy your having a mobile vet. You did right by your Pedro.

Years ago, I took my mother's Benji whom I grew up with as a brother. He's the one pet we've had that was terrified of the vet, and hers wanted to subject the dog to an exam first - as his patient of many years, Benji's age, arthritis and fright were known/i> to that jerk!

So I took him on his final ride to my vet. Had I known how quickly the drugs would take effect, I'd have asked at least to do it outside where he wouldn't be so scared. He was always so relieved to walk out of there, ya know?
