Kerri, I am so sorry for you because I know it is breaking your heart. Because of rescue I have had to help many little Yorkies cross over to the Rainbow bridge and each time I cried even though I knew it was the kindest thing I could do for them. It helps me to know the poem of the Rainbow Bridge because I can see them on the other side being puppies again and running and playing. My vet first gives them a shot to relax them and then gave them the other shot and they gently go to sleep. Maybe you could find a vet that would come to your home to do this as some will. At least you would all be with her at the end.
Regarding Jasmine. I just read an article from Tufts Vet School about dogs (animals) do have an understanding about death and it would be very helpful for Jasmine to be able to smell her after she is gone. It appears from the article that animals that are very close together do better with this process and they do not grieve as much as when the other dog disappears.
I will be thinking of you.
