I'm so sorry for you problem, Dancerbill. My heart breaks for you. Are you here in TV? I have had about 8 of my pets pass on and both here and in Los Angeles, the procedure has been the same. I have had the vets take care of euthanizing them and then they have crematoriums for pets that take care of the remains and then they send them back to me in a very nice container of my choice. I write notes on the containers about the pet and then I have them in my linen closet all lined up on a shelf. I brought all these containers with me when i moved here to TV and since then I have had to put down 2 more of my dogs and the system was the same here.

If your pet is suffering, you may want to consider putting her down before she suffers any longer, you are actually doing her a service. Its the hardest thing I've had to do in my life, so I'm not saying its easy. Usually the vets are very accustomed to your anxiety and sad feelings and they are very helpful with the procedure.

I wish you well and again I am so sorry about MiMi... She was lucky to have loving parents like you.
