gary i'm so sorry for the loss of your dear pet john hancock.
i'm sure next time this happens,someone at the vets can catch them.

if we can catch some of our semi ferelsthan someone at the vets can help with your future ill pets.

don't worry,they will help you if you need help.and some people can really be better at catching them (inside the home i mean,to go to the vet)than others.
please don't worry so much..call,they will help,if not your vet,someone else.usually people come when needed in this kind of situation.
john hancock wanted to die at home,maybe...it's ok gary.
look at us....we have to wait when we get old and ill
