Also, I remember feeling relief at first as well because my little guy had been sick for quite some time. I do remember the immediate relief and then the sinking grief. In time the good memories will start to take the place of the pain.

Absolutely. I always referred to my dog as my sister, my parents referred to her as their child, she was always very much a part of the family.
Thank you for sharing that. That's exactly what I'm feeling right now. At first it was just immense relief for her, but now I'm really starting to notice the grief. I keep "seeing" her out of the corner of my eye because I'm so use to doing so. I hope its soon... there was never a dull or unhappy moment with her.
At the least I'm not feeling the regret some pet owners experience after having a pet put down. It was too soon, but it was her time as nothing could be done.
