I'm so sorry for your loss. We said good bye to our last pup 18 years ago the 28th. We decided that we couldn't go through that again. Both of us were holding and loving on him as the Vet gave him the shot and until his last breath. It's hard losing a member of your family. I still get choked up at times thinking about him. He was a moose-sized Min-Pin and only 9, and could have lived another 9 years, but just had too many bad conditions going on to cope with, even with vet care and medication.
