That sucks. I have never euthanized a pet. Came close a year or so ago when my cat (probably) had a stroke but he died in the vet's office before he got the shot. I was a mess. Received a condolence card from them a few days later which was a nice touch.

Protip for your parents: Don't get rid of Cleo's stuff. I thought I was sure that I would never get another cat. I left him in his bed to be cremated and threw out all his stuff as soon as I got home. Then, of course, a few months ago I went into a pet store just to get some dog food and ended up with another one.

p.s. I am lazy and never return my empties. There is some guy that comes around and takes them out of the recycling bin to do it for me.
