Damn. Never did it before.
Vet squeezed the syringe, and she was gone in 15 seconds, eyes open,
not a sound.
I won't have another dog I can't keep outside and let die when they
say so. I don't want to make the decision for them.
She was only about 12 years old, and the muscles in her hips were
almost gone. A big mutt. Smartest dog I've seen.
The meds didn't seem to slow down her deterioration.
She was ****ing in the house, and couldn't walk good.
Sure, they say dogs don't show the pain, so you have to put them down.
Doesn't matter. She didn't want to go.
I killed her. It ain't right.
Damn, I miss her.

Sucks, doesn't it? I've had to put two pets down so far because they got
old and sick. My condolences.

Thanks. Yeah, it sucks.
It can hit harder than you expect.
Damn dogs.

I did that with an Irish Setter we had many years ago.
It was tough holding the dog as the vet did his thing. Hard to believe how
fast and quite they go. Sure hope they don't feel any pain.
