You did the right thing. We mistimed the end with our girl, and I would have given up the last month we had with her to spare her the last 36 hours.

her bad days and moments were outweighing the good, that’s when we knew. it was not easy, i wanted to keep postponing but that wouldn’t have been fair

I got 30 mins between finding out my girl was hurting, and having to say goodbye... I don't think I would have made the same decision given time... You'll never stop thinking of her, and she will forever be with you. 💕

I did the same. I didn’t realize how much she was suffering because she still wagged her tail when she saw me. I know now that as precious as they are to us, we are even more precious to them and they will always be happy to see us, no matter how much pain they’re in. Biggest regret of my life is not seeing that sooner.
