I'm so sorry you had to put your dog down. Nice for your pooch that the vet came to your house.

I don't believe there is anything "wrong" about feeling relief that your stress about him is lessened. I felt something similar when I had to put my Lab down. He'd been going downhill for awhile. His care was physically and emotionally draining. I missed him something horrible. Still miss him years later, but I felt relief that I no longer had to care for him.

Please be kind to yourself. Might sound odd, but I believe we can feel relief and grieve at the same time.
