No amount of preparation could've prepared me for my pet's death, I wish you can spend the remainder of his days with love and care

This is sad
I did put my boy to sleep as well due to cancer

I have booked for euthanasia, but she go on her own term a day before. Just after I pat her head, I go back inside the the house for less than 5min, and she is gone when I return..

My family used to run a shelter / sanctuary for abandoned stray and puppies for decades. Became a sanctuary by accident because more and more strays started to show up / invited by their friends and we just kept caring and feeding them.

What i've learned
1) Can't save them all
2) Some needs to be put down
3) Dogs don't live as long as people, it's sad but have to accept that fact

We bury the dogs that has passed on.
