So sorry to hear that! But like you said, it's the right thing and she'll be out of pain. I'll send some imaginary hugs/warm thoughts your way.
I was 11 when we put down our first dog, and that was rough (she had become paralyzed in her back end). The dog we have now is almost 11, and I'm much closer with him, so I'm dreading that day...

This really sucks. She's 14 1/2 and it's time to put her out of her misery. She has horrible arthritis, she is mentally losing it, she just stands and stares at the wall, she doesn't eat anything anymore, she shits on herself and rolls in it at night, she can't lie down on her own...
I'm dreading tomorrow and know I'm going to cry my ass off. She was such a great dog, a true member of our family and a true friend to me.
However, I am glad she lived a rather long life. When I got her 14 years ago from the Humane Society, I never would have expected she would still be around until almost 2013. I'm lucky to have known her...

+1 for your dog and for giving her a great life.
That's really the thing.. She could have been adopted by anyone at the humane society.. From someone who would have given her the life you did to someone that would have used her as bait in a dog fight. You gave her the best life you could have during the time she had and it sounds like she is lucky for it.
Good luck tomorrow, never easy.

She's definitely got some beagle in her....cute little girl.
Sucks man, I remember my family dog (beagle) had to get put down the night before the MSU/UCLA tournament game a couple years ago. I was staying at my mom's at the time and had to watch his slow decline. Its absolutely awful.
I kept it together until the last day when he went outside and literally tried to slam himself into the ground and die. My mom asked me to go pick him up and bring him back in out of the cold. I did and I just started bawling profusely as soon as I picked him up. I'm tearing up typing it right now. He was such a good boy. Died right there in my arms on the way back in.
I wouldn't trade the heartache for the twelve years he was around, though. He was special just like most of them are. Good luck with it buddy!

Sorry to hear that man
. I know it probably doesn't help that much right now, but be thankful that you've had her for that long and even more so that you have been able to prepare for this. When I lost my girl a few years back it was way too sudden. Seemingly perfectly healthy 7 year old dog collapsed and I had to put her down the next day (cancer was the culprit). Absolutely sucked and I was a wreck for a good week.
Enjoy her while you still have her and make sure she knows how much you love her. You'll be in my thoughts.
