Tom it must be the weather. I'm with you - when it is time for one of my 
friends to go I will call the vet. When I had to put my old friend of 14 
years - my German Shorthair Pointer - down some years back, I had 
prepared the resting place and helped her walk out to it. The vet walked 
along with me. It was quick and painless and it was good to have someone 
there with me at that moment.
