No-one wants a beloved pet to suffer, and animals can't tell you when they're in pain.
I think that most people who euthanize a pet "second guess" their decision .... I should have done it sooner, I should have waited longer ....
I believe an animal's spirit passes through the veil to the other side and waits for us there.

Barefoot,
Reading your post has just brought some needed comfort to me. We euthanized Ginger, our sweet Carin Terror yesterday. She was fourteen, blind and diabetic. Other complications with blood in her eyes brought us to this sad decision. All I could think of last night was, how much I wanted to change my mind and get her back. All this second guessing, is causing me so much pain and is testimony to how much we loved her.
