I carried her into the vet' s office， placed her on the table. Squirrelly leaned her head forward， gave a lick to my hand. As if to say she understood and stayed strong. Her tail was wagging in that circle as it always did.
The vet gave her a sedative first， for the final shot was given on her front paw， and that was painful. She first went to sleep， but her tail still wagged. Then the vet asked before giving the final shot， "Are you sure？" With a heavy heart and tear filled eyes， I nodded yes.
