I had to put down my 15 year old border collie named Buddy today. I was left with no choice when I could see he was in tremendous pain. He lived as good of a life as he could've with me. Lots of range time and hiking! No matter how good the ride was it is still always hard to let go of your best friend!!!
Lost my best range Buddy

I empathize totally… It was among the most difficult things I've ever done.

Never pleasant to call the day and the hour but necessary, a duty even.
IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day, more than all the rest
Your love for me must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer so
The time has come, please let me go.
Take me where my need they'll tend
And please stay with me 'til the end
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes can no longer see.
I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me
Although my tail it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Please do not grieve, it must be you
Who has this painful thing to do
We've been so close, we two these years
Don't let your heart hold back it's tears.

Loosing a dog breaks your heart but a new puppy helps ;-)

That sucks, it's never easy. I'm very sorry for your loss, he looks like a real character.
I've been there many times myself and miss them all, especially the old guy that is my avatar.
