To put my pooch "down" or not. :(

My 10 year old Bulldog Odin is similar. All he needs is a short walk once a day, a solid patch of sun to warm himself, some shade for cooling off and "his" chair. He's gone grey in the last year, his hearing isn't what it was and his hips get sore if he plays too hard, but he's just as good of a dog as he's ever been.

We sit together every night and talk about how lucky we're are.

Love it! Handsome pooch! They really are Man's Best Friend. Whenever my wife would go out of town, I'd just watch movies on the couch with Jack laying there with me snoring.

Then when the drugs hit, he was staring right at me for a brief moment with a "WTF" look in his eye that I can't explain, then he drifted off.

My wife stood behind him and held him while I knelt down face level with him. He was looking me right in the eyes as he drifted off to sleep. My face was the last thing he saw and it was clear he felt no pain and was at peace. We said our goodbyes and left in tears.

Thanks to everyone in this thread...it's been very helpful.

I just went and bought a few last meals of smoked salmon and ham for our dog that I like, he’s going to be a solid few pounds heavier when he goes than he is right now
