I'm so sorry you are going through this difficult time. Last year I had to make that same decision for my Chipper. I knew he had cancer and it was a matter of time but when the actual time comes it so hard to say good bye. Chipper was relatively active one day and barely moving the next. I brought him to the vet and he said it was time to make my decision but I couldn't do it yet so I asked him to give Chip something for the pain and I brought him home. I stayed up with Chip all night and held him and talked to him and Chip just watched me and never closed his eyes to sleep. I knew this was going to be our last night together. First thing that morning I brought Chip and his stuffed dog Buddy Boy (his best friend) back to the vets. The time had come. I held Chipper with Buddy Boy and even before the injection was finished I knew he had crossed the rainbow bridge. I had Chipper and Buddy Boy creamated together and they have a special place in my home. There isn't a day that goes by that something doesn't make me think of Chipper. I have Piper now and she has helped me to move on but I still miss Chipper every day. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult process.
