Sorry to hear for both of you.
Our dog Wally will be turning 17 in March. He clearly has some trouble seeing and hearing but aside from that seems in good health. I mean you can tell he's very old but he still runs around the yard and everything. He's been a great dog but I know we can't have much more time with him.

Welp unfortunately yesterday was the day for us. Went for a run like I always do and was thinking about Homer the whole run. When I got back I had made up my mind that it was time. This decision has been on my mind for a while so finally reaching the decision did help a bit. The rest of the day moved slow as I had to wait for our appointment. Telling the kids right after school was really tough. My parents came over to say goodbye as well, as my wife went with me to the vet. We were lucky to never really have any health problems with our pup and I am grateful for all the good times but man am I going to miss seeing him around the house.
One of the toughest parts is the change to your routine. Our pets become part of the fabric of our lives and when we lose them, everything goes into disarray.

Tell me about it, came downstairs this morning and the first thing I did was started filling his water bowl.

The cat would come down, sit on the steps and meow when she was ready for food. My daughter had a stuffed animal sitting on the steps last night and for just a moment, I thought it was Ringo looking for a snack.
Hang in there my friend.

We had to say goodbye to our 16 year old Boston Terrier on Friday. We waited exactly one day too long and that has been hard to process on top of missing her deeply. The routines are the hardest. This is the kind of thing that just takes a piece out of you.
Condolences to you and yours. This adulting thing sucks an awful lot sometimes.

Ugh. Sorry Chris.
Tough to see each of you hurting.
Do thank each of you for sharing. Totally on-board with the routine thing. Has hit me several times the last couple of months.

I just stumbled upon this thread. If you haven't had to make that tough decision before, let me try to offer something positive. The pain does subside. And the beautiful this is, one day you'll think of him or her, and you'll realize that you're smiling at that memory. When that day comes, is different for each of us. But it will come. If you've had to do this before, I'm not telling you anything you don't know. But maybe being reminded of it will help in some small way.
Good news! I saw a dog today.
