I can totally feel ya.....

I love my "son"...he is a 6 month old cocker spaniel. He is sick today, which is why I didn't go to work. He has a vet appt @ 3.....

I think you are doing what is best for your dog. Does he seem like heis in pain? That would probably be the hardest part. If not, then he must be getting a lot of love.
11 1/2 years is a long time for a dog. I know if he passes away it will be hard. My dog died a few yrs ago, he was 14 and it was sad for the entire family. Just keep doing what you are doing!!!
