I really wanted my dog to die at home but it was not to be. I was OK when I left the vet's office but a couple hours later I cried really hard; very cathartic. I only cried once more about a month later.

I'm actually a bit surprised at how easy it was. But she was ill for some time so I was able to spend a lot of time with her and felt really good about it. Plus it was really obvious when to put her down--no wondering if I waited too long or did it too soon.

Then I waited about 4 months and got another one! I treasure my memories of Su and am having fun creating new memories with Ava.
