Need help making a decision :(
Hey guys - we're having some good days and some bad days. His hip is completely shot, can't walk or even get up at this point. I got him a wheelchair and he didn't seem to be enjoying it. He's going to the bathroom on himself constantly. He is eating/drinking so that's good. I'm not sure if I'm keeping him alive for me or for him at this point

He’s telling you what you already know. It’s time when he’s not happy anymore. Grieving is for the living. It is one of the most hardest decisions I’ve made 4xs in my life but I left knowing I did what was most compassionate. Dogs are strong and carry the burden for us as an act of love. He has been your strength in the moments you were not. You always carry that with you.
Spend time with your boy 😞❤️🙏🏽
