>>10159404It hurt like fuck when I had to put mine down, but when the vet told me it was either letting him go gently or having him suffocate slowly over the night the choice was clear and I made peace with it. At least I got to look him in the eyes and stay with him as he took his last breaths. Don't fear it Anon, make sure to make the most of the time you have with your dog and give it lots of love and happy memories.
