Cried my eyes out at the vet’s … I’ve lost my best friend. Two cancers in his mouth left no choice but letting him go. I still feel the warmth of his head and his last breath under my hand. I’m hurt to the bone but glad his pain is over.

      I was only able to with one of my guinea pigs. Differences in method I guess (different vets due to availability or something, can’t remember), but it was so much better being able to hold her as she faded.
