[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16386510, member: 191643"] A couple of months ago we went through this decision with our youngest (8 years) and by far best golden. Impossible decision. I feel for you, man. The flip flopping you (and back then we) are experiencing is a combination of love, guilt for giving up and an impossible mix of emotions. The answer to the question you wrestle with is probably obvious to most outsiders. The fact you feel any indecision just shows you to be a caring and compassionate owner. An indoor dog that defecates in the house feels shame, humiliation and guilt for disappointing you. Perhaps your dog's dementia prevents this. Either way, it is no longer a life of dignity and happiness for your friend. Can there really be gain in allowing your memories of happy times with your dog shift towards memories of what your gal, your wife and you are enduring now? At 17 years I think all would agree you and your beloved pup have both done your bit. So easy to beak out advice from this side of the fence. So hard from where you stand. I wish you the strength and resolve to make the best decision for your family and also the peace that comes from knowing you did right by her. All the best. [/QUOTE]
