So sad. My first dog(black lab) and cancer.

Yes, the deciding is the hardest part. I'm so very sorry you're having to deal with this. I think you're right on the housecall - to be in his place, with his person who loves him...what else can anyone ask.

Yes, I have done "a day too late" more than once, not wanting to take anything away from them, then seeing in hindsight that it was indeed too long.... You are fortunate to have the availability of its ending in this way, in his own home.

You need to remember that whatever you do is the right thing. This is a decision you and your dog make together. Never feel guilty and don't second guess yourself.

Hold him in your arms while he passes. A dog can't ask for a more caring owner.

A friend once said "You need to set aside what YOU want for a minute and think about what the DOG wants - to not be in pain."

It's hard for us, but it'll be better for your pup to die calmly than just waste away from his ordeal. I'm happy you've changed the way you see dogs, and took such good care of one for the rest of his life.

You gave him the perfect forever home.
