{{{{{{{{Keri}}}}}}}}, this is such a sad time for you and I'm so sorry!!! You know you're doing the right thing but it's REALLY hard!!!!
In October, my oldest bulldog suddenly went into heart failure. We rushed him to the vet and he spent hours trying to stabilize him and bring down his fever. Nothing seemed to be working and I was thinking about how I might have to make the big decision. My son was so upset and pleading with Chaucer not to die. I was just about to ask the vet what he thought we should do when he said Chauc was dying and we'd better say our goodbyes. It was so hard, but he slipped away when we were petting him and telling him what a good dog he was.
Flossy will go to sleep, too, and all of her pain will be gone. I'm glad you're burying her close by so you can think of her lovingly.
