When we had our JR put down, it was sudden but I know it was the best thing for her. The told us if she was a person she would have been in an old persons home and carefully monitored as her mind was going.
It was hard but the vet was wonderful. We paid the bill while he was doing it then waited outside until he brought her out to us. He did all this with dignity which made it easier. Even the wrapping she was in was lovely.
She is now buried in our backyard and the grandchildren know where and were able to talk about it. They will still refer to her even though it was over 12 months ago which is lovely as they have such lovely memories of her.
Make sure they have a lovely picture of their dog so they have something to look back at.
All the best for Saturday as it is going to be a hard day.
