Well, I'm not happy, but I do feel good about our decision

[conuly]

especially our choice of service. They came to the house, very convenient and a lot less stressful for Finn. We gave him so many Dunkin Donuts egg bites before the vet arrived, and snuck his antianxiety medication into one as well as giving him his painkiller this morning. (I wish we'd known how excited he'd get over those egg bites earlier, we would've fed them to him so much over this past month!) It was very peaceful. I miss him the way he used to be, but that was never coming back.

Also, my food processor arrived today and when I opened the door to let in the vet I saw the food processor, forgot what else was going on today, and gave an extremely happy squee. The vet took this in stride, but so embarrassing.

The best that could be made of a hard time; I'm glad to hear things were as peaceful as they could be. My every impression is that you were able to do a lot to improve his quality of life for the time he was with you. The most we can hope for in this world. Rest in peace, pup.

I'm so sorry. Those mobile vet services are lifesavers. They really do help things go so much better; I've used them a few times with various pets. <3

Sending you love. It's very hard when it's time, but you definitely did the right thing.

I'm sorry about Finn--what counts is that he got to experience the caring, loving home he deserved with you.

I am thinking of you. We've said goodbye at home, with the help of caring vets, far more than once. They are wonderful. And you gave Finn a home, and love. Keep that in your own heart.

I am so sorry. You gave Finn a happy home and a good life. It sucks that their lives are so much shorter than ours, and it's heartbreaking to have to make that decision and say goodbye.

As everyone else said, you gave Finn a great family and home where he could live his life.

I'm so sorry. I'm glad the vet was good. <3

Aw, I'm so sorry. I'm glad that it went so smoothly.

EDIT: I miss him the way he used to be, but that was never coming back. Also this hit me like a brick truck. But ain't that the truth.

That's what we eventually had to do with Strega Cat, whom we inherited from a former housemate and who went from elderly to almost unable to leave her heated bed at all and certainly unable to use her litter box. It was such a comfort to be able to do it in her accustomed home. I held her and cuddled her, which she always loved, and she didn't even seem to notice the injection. Very peaceful.

May his memory be a blessing to all of you.

It am sorry he had to go, but I think you did the right thing.

[silver_chipmunk]

So sorry, but glad things went well and easily.

It's always hard, but it's slightly better when you can do it in familiar surroundings.

I'm so sorry to hear about Finn. You have my sympathies.

[darkoshi]

I'm sorry for your loss, but glad it was peaceful.

*hugs* I'm sure vets are used to weird things like that.

I'm glad it was peaceful.

Farewell to Finn. Condolences to you and your family.

Life has so many parts, it's good to be able to move from joy to grief and joy. My condolences for your loss.
