@Krienze Thank you so much for your supportive words and thoughts. I really hope he knew at that moment, and hope he still does. I just miss him so much now

I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet boy. While it must have been horrible to watch, I'm sure he found comfort in being at home, in your arms. I'm so sorry you had to experience that. I didn't know it was possible to obtain those drugs from vets - but I'll keep that in mind if the time comes...
