like all of the above, been there & done it, but it don't make it any easier. i was holding my 14 year old lab when he was euthanized. he had congestive heart failure and could hardly breath. i was sitting on the table with his head in my lap, scratching his ears, and he was laboring to get his breath. the vet said "are you ready?" and he gave the shot. it was amazing, the dog sighed and that was it... he finally looked comfortable. i watched my mom suffer with COPD and her last 2 weeks were miserable, i really wish i could have done something for her.
