What a wonderful moving story that was - it brought tears to my eyes. I had to put my last Corgi to sleep in December of 2005 - we figured she was almost 14 years old, as I adopted her as a young adult(about 2) I watched her change so much in her last 1 1/2 years of life from what seemed like a youthful dog to a slow moving dog that didn't hear or see well and had problems getting up from a sitting position at times. She never complained and always still loved to cuddle. My husband built a ramp for her so she could get outside easier. I carried her up and down the stairs during that last 1 1/2 years of her life' and I was so thankful that I was able to do that for her, I never considered it a burden and I was there for her for her last breath; it was the hardest thing I have ever done.

Thanks for sharing that story, I am sure it was not easy.
