This is a sad thread but I will try to make my post sensible enough. In 2007, our first dog was suffering from renal failure. For days, the 10-year old Jedi wouldn't urinate and her tummy is bulging already. And pain was evident in her eyes for she looked like crying. On May 19 of that year, we summoned the vet for the mercy killing. After the first injection, Jedi stood up and went to her favorite spot in our living room, i.e. beside the computer table. And when the vet gave the second shot, Jedi fell asleep in a matter of seconds. I was holding her head before she fell into the eternal sleep. Literally, she died in my hands. That was one of the saddest days in my life.
