Hate it for you. It's the last humane thing we do for our pets.
Hate it for you, man. It's one of the hardest things any responsible dog owner ever had to do. But it sounds like you're making the right choice.
My avatar is my buddy who passed just over two years ago, like everyone says, there will be tears, nothing wrong with that. But it gets easier, with time.
Creamated mine.

Sorry to hear, this is one of life's unpleasant duties we do for one of our very good friends.
Sorry to hear it. It sucks and I've done it more than once. The times I've had the awful displeasure of doing it, the vet puts them on the table and gives you a few minutes to say goodbyes. The vet brings in the needle, injects a vain in the front leg. You kinda hold them until they quit breathing. It's quick if that provides any peace of mind, what seems to be about 15 to 20 seconds from the time of injection, although it could be more or less because I always cry like a baby and don't count time.
Tears come and don't stop the entire ride home (hell, my eyes are getting misty even thinking about it). I always ask the vet to put them in a bag so I can bury them at home where they were happy. I hate to think of just leaving a dog to be thrown in the trash. I'm still usually in tears digging the hole, but I always make a little marker so I can find where each one is and stop by once in a while and say "Hi." (I'm about to cry).

Makes me tear up just thinking about it. I read an article about a man putting his dog down and he put it perfectly saying "I prayed for every light to turn red on the way to the vet". The dog in my avatar may just have to take me with her when her time comes.
I am sorry
I would do the old way , owner shots his best friend
Remember old yellor?

Dang cnut I feel for ya man, I had to do it about 10 years ago and it sucked big time. You should hold him and talk to him as he goes, he'll know that he's not alone and he's loved. It'll be tough but you'll know that the last thing he knows is that you really cared. Praying for you man....
