Thanks, Jerome. I had several dogs as a kid that had to be euthanized as well. We got Lucy late into our marriage so it's my wife's first time really experiencing this. Of course I love the dog as well but my heart mainly breaks for the loss she'll feel. We get lured into thinking they'll be around forever. Sorry for you past losses as well.
A friend and I were talking about the very same thing. How we peacefully put down our pets but leave our loved ones to suffer til the bitter end. Somethings not quite right with that equation.
Thank you, Jeremy.
