I'm so sorry your Toto is at this point where you are having to consider this. I know it must be a heartbreaking decision but feel you will know when it is time.
In Sept. 08 we had to have our blue heeler, Patch pts. She was 14 years old, our family dog that helped raise our sons. She had been blind and near deaf for the previous couple of years. Patch managed very well around here until about two weeks before and she had lost her appetite. That morning it was obvious to us and our vet agreed.
I hugged her until well past her very last breath, telling her how much she was loved and would be missed, but that we would see her again. She is now, here on our place in my special flower garden at the base of a yorkie tree carving my dh has done.
It broke my heart but I knew it was best and to keep her any longer would be selfish on my part.
