we had to do the same for a beautiful 12 year old Golden Retriever 2 years ago. She was still very happy to see us each morning but her rear legs were so weak she could not walk on our hardwood floor and squat to take care of her business and she was in pain. the boys did not want to put her to sleep but it was a family decision. Eventually they all agreed that it was the right thing to do. My wife was the most emotional about it and swore we would not get another dog. 2 months later she had us look at a Maltese and he went home with us. Now it is her baby but not the same as the Golden who was around for all the kids,nieces and nephews growing up. take comfort that you did the right thing.
