Absolutely heartbroken. He was my little doggy soul mate.
Whilst not totally unexpected it was still horrible. He had come close a few times to me making the call but last week was prescribed painkillers for arthritis in his spine (which until then I didn't know he had) and had a second puppyhood for a few days after starting it. However started to slow down again and struggle. I decided to take him on Monday to my vet and firstly offer to sign my life over to him if he could help but secondly and the option I knew in my head we would take to let him go.
He didn't make Monday morning. I took him last night to the emergency vets. His eyes told me he'd had enough.
The vets were slightly less compassionate than ideal and sounded slightly irritated to be there on a Sunday at 11pm but im trying not to dwell on that.
Thankyou to everyone who's advised and helped on my various threads about him. Not sure I'll ever love a dog like that again but I guess I'm lucky to have had him and will even miss the naughty irritating side of him :'(
