Always a sad thing to do.
I had to put down a 16 year old and a 17 year old within a year of each other.
What really helped me was I had them cremated and put in urns that came home with me.
I also put a little of each into one of those keychain cannisters and they are always with me wherever i go.
Best wishes,
Dave

many times repeated, never read without a tear.
Dogs In Heaven?
An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so they walked on. They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven" he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him. The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you."
"What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If he can't come in, then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't desert him now."
"Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you anything, but the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road."
So the old man and dog went on. They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. "S'cuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?"
"Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable"
"You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed anywhere."
"Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?"
"No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in.
We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too, and that's final."
The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."
"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?"
"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but then it's too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"

You have my deepest condolences...remembering the loss of my first companion still gives me pause.
Time will help, but for now know that you're doing what is best for your friend. I know that I had trouble coping with that when I had to deal with making that painful decision myself.

I really feel for you, I've lost a dozen cats (no exaggeration on the number) and 3 dogs in my short time. At least you will be there with her, what's worse is not knowing what happened. Cook up a steak, take her fishing (or chasing bunnies) and give her a good bath

You are doing the right thing, but that sure doesn't make it any easier. I am sorry for your loss and hope you remember all your friends here are thinking of you.
