I put one down myself. Never again. Since that time they either go to the vet or I pay for a vet call.

I never have in my life been in such a manner with any pet or animal, I've always been the one to take them on that walk for many people, most who say they cannot afford to take to a vet but can afford all manner of un-necessary things for them selves, I have always resented people like that but would still have the respect for that animal to give them a decent ending, thats really pain less for them if done correctly.
Don't get me wrong I have had many pets and enjoyed them all, but never have I become attached to them in such a manner that I would feel terrible or guilty or upset that its their time to leave us.
I do applaud those who can reach that level of awareness with their pets though, wish they could also do so with their families as well !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

So people that get attached to a hunting dog dont get as attached to family or did I read that wrong?
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I don't know if my vet will do housecalls, but it was my first thought also. Talk to your vet. There are folks who provide that very specific service. We did that for our Shih-Tzu. She hated the vet and all of the dogs and cats in there. We did not want her to go through that on her last day. I don't know what it cost, and I still don't care. You spent $5,000 on your baby already, so I don't think that you will care either. It was the best decision we have ever made under similar conditions as your's.

I have to let the vet do it, and there is no easy way.
It's bad having the last image in your mind of the dog to be handing the leash to the vet, but better that than the image of you shooting it.... IMHO. I don't look at folks in their caskets at funerals for the same reason. I like the image in my brain to be of them when they were happy. If I were in your shoes, I'd tell her good-by and have Pete take her to the vet. $.02

Get the vet to get your dog a pill for nerves. Take the dog on to the vet for the shot. One of the most humane things Ive saw done. I had to take a dog I inherited when I knew it was time. One shot of something?? Then a shot of the blue juice. As soon as the vet touched the needle with the blue juice, the dog never moved another muscle. A VET WILL PLAY ON YOUR EMOTIONS!

You just need to say goodbye then leave the house for awhile . Maybe go get a puppy .
Have someone ( preferably a non dog lover ) come to the house and take care of it , including burying on your land or transporting to the crematory .
I'd help you out if I was closer
I had a buddy come take care of a hound for me one time while I took the family on vacation . Worked out pretty well

I know it’s not much help, but I’ve been told so many times. Best way to get over a dog or a woman is to immediately get a new one. We never forget
