When the time comes to put down your pet

Not much more to add to any of the comments here but my own wishes for the best for all of you Chris. Sorry you are facing this. It is horrible, but you will always have those wonderful memories. xxx

In hindsight, I think we waited too long for our cat. She was having trouble getting around and was losing weight, not making it to the litter box, etc. So we scheduled the trip to the vet for the next day, and she just died on her own that night. I think she went through more pain than we should have let her go through. In hindsight, we should have put her down a couple weeks sooner. But at least it saved us some expense. We buried her in the back yard.

Screw the city ordinance. Just be sure to dig the hole deep enough.

Thanks for the comments folks. It's never easy but I knew the day was coming for a year or so as she has been slowing down. I just feel she isn't happy or comfortable.
