On a normal day, I'd be giving you jabs too... but my girlfriend just called me a little while ago to tell me that her 12 year old dog took an overnight turn for the worse (been on experimental Chemo for 6 months and battling cancer for 2+ years) and will need to be put down.

JD, At some point that has to be the BEST call! Put my dog of 12yrs down last April due to the dreaded (bone) cancer. Our battle was only 4 months but still a very tough day, actually 1:30AM when he woke me to say it was time. Tell your GF, sorry for her loss.
Larry, Gassing is an alternative to freezer: put in a plastic bag and attach to the tailpipe of the car. Run about 5 min to fill bag with enough gas and time.
Being a biologist by training, personally I'd go with just breaking the neck!
