So. Milo.

I took him for a long walk. He sniffed a lot, but he didn’t run or prance.

Then I brought him back to the vet and they gave him the medication. I held him and petted him, and told him I loved him, and talked to him about Doggy Heaven, which looks an awful lot like Del Monte Beach in Monterey, a place where he can prance, and chase an endless supply of green balls, and there are always other dogs to wrastle. I stayed with him until the end. It was very peaceful.

I didn’t feel as sad as I expected to. I had the sense while we were walking together that he was in some pain, and that that pain would have escalated very quickly.

He was a really good boy. The best boy ever.
I will love him always, and I will miss him.

Sounds like you made the right decision, and you made his departure as loving and comfortable as possible.

You are a very good person!
