Sorry for your family's loss Paul. A few weeks ago, we had a similar scenario play out and that cartoon really brought a tear to my eye.
Our 16 year old Dougal (West Highland Terrier) had been slowing down for a while. He was deaf, nearly blind and started to have trouble breathing so we decided it was his time. I took him down to the vet. They offered a few treatment options, but I could see that there was no real hope for improving his quality of life. It was a fairly easy decision to make and strangely felt like an honour and a privilege to help him on his way.
I think I was more concerned for the poor young female vet who had to take care of him.



We put our CNC plasma cutter to work and he now greets us near the back door as we come and go.
