After the second needle, my dog lifted her head, looked at me, and then gently laid her head down and died.
I found that knowing I was with her in her last moments, although a sad experience, somehow eased the pain in losing her. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I had to.

Condolences. It's 14 years, eight months for my little friend. He's had a good, long life. Yours, too. Take solace in that.
