Lifer. I know exactly what you are going through. I had my Lab put down 15 years ago and said never again. Anywho, the wife and kids wanted a lapdog. I said absolutely not, I'm done with dogs. Then, 2 days before x-mas, 14 years ago, my wife "tricked" me into going to a breeder. That is a whole story in itself. But, this little Yorkie, the runt of the litter, was cowereing in the corner.... obviously mis-treated. My wife picked him up and sat on a sofa as I sat in a recliner on the far side of the room. As soon as I sat down, the puppy jumped off my wife's lap and sprinted to me. My wife said, "Can't we buy him for the kids?" I immediately took out my checkbook and said "How much?" As luck would have it, the novelty of this new puppy wore off for both the kids and my wife in less than a month and now, he's my 4th child. I say all this because Bocephus Clephas, Bo, is now 14. He can't hear anything and can barely see. He has a congenital hip problem and I know, very shortly, I will be faced with the same decision you are faced with now. It's silly how attached we become to our pets but, regardless, when I have to make that final decision, it's going to be horrible. The advice about not being present when the final deed is done, is good advice. Remember the good days and my thoughts are with you.
