I'll tell you.. I almost had to leave the room but I'm glad I stuck it out..
While our vet tried to prepare us for what her reaction would be to the
euthanasia, she just passed quickly (probably faster than any of us expected)
and looked so relieved..

Aw that's neat.  I made Priscilla  a pot of chicken soup last night since

Me too.. I tried to hold it in for her as she was being injected and I think I
made it.. I know dogs pick up on your emotions, etc.  Was rough though.
