Hello,
So sorry you are having to go through this decision process.
Aging is a difficult thing to watch; we often have to witness the decline in physical and mental ability which has a huge emotional toll on us as well as the aging party.
However, from what you have described below, I cannot see that anything suggests that your girl is ready to go via euthanasia. If she is still eating and going potty and can walk for herself etc. then what you are witnessing is the aging process and not yet the dying process, in my opinion.
On the other hand, I understand that it is difficult to watch all the changes and the ability to control the time she goes may be easier on you than to wait for it and be unprepared...
The only thing I can say is that, once the decision is made, it cannot be reversed. So, just be sure that when you make the decision, it was for the right reason i.e. the dog because you will be left with guilt, otherwise..you know?
