Running Mom - I'm sure you will make the right decisions. Your pup trusts you to do that for her. I'm so upset that so many of us are going through this right now. I lost my mastiff last year, and my Newf is starting to struggle, and I just don't know how I will face that choice for him. Somehow, the big dogs seem harder to cope with - such a large presence in the house is suddenly missing. My thoughts and hugs are with you.
