When you do it you need to be by his side. It’s painful but the last person he’ll want to be with as the lights go out is you.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I held my Chow (Chows DO NOT like to be man handled) "Chipuppy" down while the Vet administered the needle, and she looked me straight in the eye and was heartbroken that I had forsaken our bond and was now killing her. That was her last thought. One of the hard lessons in my life. I jumped up and challenged Jesus pretty crudely so, as usual, and then realized that I was doing the same thing to Jesus that Chipuppy was doing to me.

Make sure that your Vet administers a strong sedative pre-kill shot. They didn't do that back when.

Life is hard and the loss of love very painful. Prayers for you and your Friend. Go you your Faith.
