sorry to hear I know the feelnig we had our dog of 14 year put to sleep cause of his medical issues this past fall. And we keep thinking need to go home and let him out ( most te tiem was max of a 3 hours we could leave him home alone) but he had developed some issues between his age, and his ongoing kindey issues that could not be cured. So now the old boy got the best seat in town (right in the back field at my grandmother's since he loved to roam around the back lot in the sun.)
