I had a long time to prepare. It was VERY hard watching his final moments. He was sleeping rather well and all of a sudden he had a seizure and was gone within a couple minutes. Im not sure if he was even conscious. It didn't look like it and he didn't make a sound. I hate having that as a last memory but i would have hated it more knowing he died alone while i was asleep. I could not bring myself to have him put down at the vet. He would cry terribly in the car ride there. Bucket went when and where he wanted to be most...In my lap at home.
I laid him to rest in the back yard wrapped in nice linen. Complete with a marble marker.
