I just hate that he died on his own .. the vet was apparently not there. I'd have preferred it had he died under the aneasthingy. I keep torturing myself by thinking that he must have spent his last two or three hours alive, missing us and on his own. I don't know if that is the case - actually when we were at the vet's he was not acknowledging or responding to us in any way and he kept howling in a really distressed manner. But I wish, now, that we'd been with him when he went. Of course, had we not taken him to the vet and he'd died anyway, which he would've, we'd have spent forever thinking that if we'd called someone they might have saved him

Animals often, when they have the chance, go off on their own to die. It's always a very private thing, and it's not like he didn't know you loved him.

Kye is right. And wise.

I guess so. I'd never heard him make the noise he was making at the vet's before .. a sort of wailing, keening noise. I think that was him acknowledging that it was his time. Maybe it was better that he did not really seem to be aware that we were there

I don't really know what to say but it must have been a harrowing experience for you.
