Even when you've been expecting it for months, it still isn't any easier when the time comes.

My handsome boy was diagnosed with end stage renal failure last April. He had been up and down, but lately, mostly down. He was having breathing issues, and his appetite had been irregular. I just took him to the vet for the last time this morning. He was down to three pounds. I probably should have let him go sooner, but he kept rebounding somewhat. At least he went on a full stomach filled with some of his most favorite things: crappy canned food, Friskies Party Mix, and winter squash baby food. Good bye, my handsome boy.
