re: How do you know when "it's time?" Update page 3

We had to put a collie down a few months ago. He had some kind of spinal problem. He was only 5-6 yrs old. Now his dad is about 13-14 and he is wondering around, not knowing where he's going and shite. He doesn't appear to be in pain, but has problems getting from laying down a good bit. I hate it more for my 2 sons, (19 and 24) and the wife. That damn dog grew up with those young men. It has to be done soon and I am dreading the day, but I got it to do.
