We had to put down a horse my husband owned for almost 20 yrs. We knew in our hearts it was time - she was starting to decline rapidly. We were able to plan ahead and had a suitable site for her to be buried and we could still "visit" with her. At least we could prepare everything and not be caught in the middle of the night with a emergency vet call. It was the hardest thing we have ever done. Just thinking about it brings chills. It was the right thing to do for her but she is awfully missed. You won't know how it is going to hit you until you are there at the end but it is the best way to honor your friend. You are right to want to have a poem or something to say to remind yourself of the good days and that it is time to say - "Until we meet again". I wish you courage tomorrow.
