Thanks to all. It's over now.
He walked in, wagging his tail for the vet and the tech(which still gave me doubts about doing it). They put a catheter in his leg, then gave me a few minutes alone with him. He looked scared, like maybe he knew what was happening. I just layed over him on the table, and told him how much I loved him. The vet came back in, and asked if I was ready. I was still laying over him. She put the syringe into the catheter. About 10 seconds later, he relaxed his head down to the table, and that was it. He was gone. It was really peaceful. I guess some animals have spasms, big gasps of breath, or lose control of their bodily functions. I am so thankful that none of that happened. They wrapped him in a small comforter, then put him in a box, and put him on my backseat.
I drove him to the crematory. I stood and talked to the lady there about him for at least 30 minutes about him. She wanted to know if I wanted a last look. I was afraid that maybe he'd lost control of himself, so I asked her to look first. Nothing had happened, so we looked at him for a few minutes, then I left. His ashes will be ready, tomorrow evening.
I sure miss my best friend.
