So sorry to hear this. Comfort yourself knowing that, if you do have to put Macaroni down because of his pain, it is the most humane and loving thing you can do.

Sunday before last, I had to have our ancient (17 years!) red chow chow put down. She'd been moving slower and slower but overnight had gotten to the point where she no longer would/could move. I took her on a ride around the farm in the buggy, loaded her into the front seat of the truck and took her to the clinic.

I held her in my arms, sobbing while they euthanized her. Such tough love; she will be missed so much. They were chows unlike any others.
