Part of being a pet owner is the responsibility if being there at the end. They live their life with you, loving you. In the final hour when their bodies are failing you need to be there for them. Giving comfort and love a d tears. Telling them how much you loved having them in your life, how much you enjoyed their company. And to help them feel at ease in the final moments.
It sucks absolutely but if your not there when they close their eyes fir the last time and they are scared because you're not there.... I could never live with that thought.

@biandlargeny This happened to me back in 2008. I was asked if I could stay out OTR for another werk with the trainer and that's when my dog had to be put down from old age. I think about it all the time and get teary eyed because I wasn't there for her in her last moments.
