Pet death; explicit mention forewarning, I'm serious

She died in our arms. JD was struggling, so the vet whispered to me, "this will be very quick." She pushed the plunger and it was seriously like five seconds. She sagged to the side and we helped her lay down and...that was it.
It was so uncanny. She was warm. She was still.
She knew what was coming. She could feel how broken she was. Her organs were failing one by one. She she knew she knew she knew she knew she knew she knew she knew

@makyo And she was not alone. That's the final gift we can give them, at the end. To take the pain, and be there with them when they go.
She needed you, and you were there.
