Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 5285677, member: 70"] I got nothing to add but condolences. I've been through this with dogs and cats and it's never easy. I was an avowed cat-hater until we had one and I loved the guy as much as any dog we've ever had. I cried like a baby when he crossed the rainbow bridge. I remember a vet telling me once that nothing made her madder than when people wouldn't be in the room with her when the pet was euthanized because it was "too hard." I don't know if this is scientifically verifiable but she said that she could always tell that the animal knew their people weren't there at the end - that's always stuck with me. We owe it to them to make the end as comfortable and loving as possible. Pets are the best. [/QUOTE]
