If I'm an almighty bitch for the next week, please forgive me. Tomorrow morning I'm taking my old Sweaterdog, Chancie, to the vet to be put to sleep...
Amber, I'm so sorry. That is such a tough thing to do, even when it is the kindest and most loving thing to do. I always ask for my pets to be sedated first. I hold them in my arms if they are small enough, or I hug them as best I can if they are bigger. I hold my hand close to their nose so that they smell me. I hope that calms them--it seems to.
I'm so sorry about your doggie. I had to do the same thing with my little Jack Russell in February, and it was awful. I agree with Laura, though--it was nice to be able to hold him right up through the end. He went very peacefully and I was glad he wasn't suffering anymore. *hugs*

I will be praying for you and your sweet Chancie.
Love, Laura
