I would stay with my pets, as I love them deeply and would want to be there for their final moments.

Im usually the one who puts the animals down, me and a friend of mine put down one of our horses. He was a 30 year old colt named Bandit, he was a good horse and lived a long life for a horse. We blindfolded him and led him out to a field where we had a hole dug up. We gave him some apple to chew on, and made sure he was calm and relaxed and my friend put'em down with a 30-30 as I leaned him over, he was dead before he fell in the hole. We had to put'em down because he had cancer and was just getting worse and worse.

My husband and I cope with losing pets in different ways. I am the one who says "It's time." And I say my goodbyes at home and choose to remember it alive and in our home. My husband is the one who insists on being there the whole time and brings them home, buries then on our property where we have all of our pets, including my dear 32 year old horse. THen we come together over the grave and cry together. We're different but it works for us and we give each other the freedom to grieve like this. I am very grateful I am married to someone who acn do this awful thing instead of me because somehow I feel I would have to be their with my loving pet but it would hurt so much worse for me.

As hard as it would be, I would probably stay there for it. I love my cats so much that I would want to be with them as long as I could.

Reading these stories makes me teary-eyed! I'm so sorry for all your losses. I would have to stay with any of my pets because I would want them to know I love them and was there till the very end.
