My beloved fella died tonight.
I know a couple of people on these boards are wrestling with the euthanasia question so I just want to share my experience. I got to sit with him for several hours beforehand (vet gave him stuff to keep him comfortable) and then I sat with his body for a couple of hours after. I think not being rushed was a big help.So my two cents is, if you decide to do it, take all the time you need. I have some small sense of peace from having done that.
Now to go cry for many, many days....
