Yesterday, we finally had to put my dog to sleep. I'm not normally for the idea, as I would rather them go on their own but he had a rough night on Friday and it was just to hard on him to keep him around without being selfish.
See, for the last half year he'd been going down hill steadily. The vets were never quite sure what was wrong, but he was just in alot of pain. My mom was heartbroken and she tried everything to make him feel better and comfortable. A hormone emitter to calm his nerves, new bed, who knows how much money on medication for pain and arthritis, and so many other things I've just lost track. She gave it a good try, and it did give us a few more months with him I'm sure, but it was no long term solution.
It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I was glad I could be there for him. He died in my mothers arms around 2:15pm, and I can't help but feel so guilty about it all. I wish we didn't have to do it...
He now rests in Luck, WI in a grave my father and brother dug for him. Chilie Bean was the best dog I could ever have asked for, and I'm not just saying that. Loyal, obedient, the friendliest thing you'd ever meet... He was just a beacon of happiness. He never lost that puppy in him, even after 13 years. I love that dog, and its going to be hard to not have him around.

You're right though. I'm glad we did it when we did, so his last day was a day where he was still able to smile.
