I was there when he died
The vet pushed the plunger and it was all over
Seven years of a special bond broken in a moment
Your body slumped awkward in my arms
It broke my heart that you would never run again
Or jump and spring as you used to love to do
R.I.P Ben may you live forever and run through eternal fields with Lucy once more

It's hard to let someone go, I have done it many times, but it ends the suffering. It's worse for humans really as there is no way out of it. I hope you are ok and remember the good times, not the end. 😿
@OdinsFist yes I realised that. I was talking about my pets too, 5 dogs and 4 cats, over many years of course. Once I tried to keep a young dog I owned, from being put to sleep and he suffered a lot and had to be put down in the end. I promised myself I wouldn't let that ever happen again.
@crowncottage thank you that is some consolation knowing that he probrably would have suffered if I hadn't
I am sure you did the right thing. We have to be strong for them, they can't do it themselves. I cried each time when I let my pets go but the only one I feel guilty about is my dog who I mentioned, he would have suffered so much less if I had found the courage to tell the vet to end it. He was a black Labrador, only five months old. He was hit by a car and the vet thought he could mend his broken back! My dogs name was Ben too. 😢
