And just thinking about how trusting she was as we put her in the carrier...and me knowing what was coming. Same with sitting on her blanket at the vet...total trust. I have this nagging feeling of guilt like I betrayed that trust.

I keep expecting to see her in her usually spots, forgetting she's gone. Her favorite blanket is still out and I can't quite bring myself to put it away, yet. Is that strange...???

Having her with us for almost 20 years it's a weird feeling that she's not right here. It's just been a rough day.

I have no doubt that you did the right thing. We had the same thoughts with ours, she was never a fan of going to the vet but was oddly calm on the trip that day, I think she was ready too. Afterwards she literally was laying in such a way that she looked relaxed and at piece with the world in a way that she had not been able to be in many years - that was the key to tell me we did the right thing.
