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.

Take comfort in the peace you have with your decision. That’s a blessing. We tortured ourselves over decisions we had made and it was pointless to do that to ourselves. Our dogs are our babies.
I also swore I wouldn’t have another dog ever again and two days later I rescued what turned out to be a high maintenance little dude who is still driving us a bit bonkers. And so it goes...
