Yikes, you are the second friend in as many weeks whose mom heartlessly had her dog put down without giving her a chance to say goodbye!! What the hell is with up with THAT?!

IMO, you totally needed to say goodbye, because even if Lily hadn't known, you would have...when my dog Sheba died and I wasn't there, for years afterwards I had dreams where I discovered her still alive (one time living underneath the seat of my dad's truck) because I never got that closure.

Yo, _m3_'s Mom? YOU ARE MADE OF COMPLETE AND UTTER FAIL!!

ETA: I didn't mean to slag off m_3's mom, whoever she might be, just because I am evidently unable to type whatsoever. *HEAD DESK*

I was there when I had my cat put to sleep, held her while they put the medicine in her, watched her take her last breath and I still have dreams about her being alive to this day. Haunting dreams....so I feel your pain.
