well humans live longer than dogs. were you good to Buttons? Did Buttons have a nice home and food and love? You should be happy that you were able to give him/her a wonderful life. Buttons is lucky to have you care so much.

It's not fair that you can't be with him to say good-bye to him. It would be a comfort to both of you. I would demand to be there. It's going to be painless for the dog but scary. Grieving is part of death. You know that it has to be done, right? Saying goodbye to a family member should be done as a family. You need their support right now and whether they want to admit it or not you all need each other. I have "been there" to say goodbye to a few of my pets and I could see it in there eyes that they were grateful I was there. Me being there also reduced their fear. It also meant "closure" for me...I was able to accept it more. It's the same as when a human dies. Hopefully they will release the body so you can bury your friend.
