Nit, I am so sorry to hear about your dog, knowing when to make that last loving decision for them is sooo hard. As hard as it is and however much we are not ready I know you will put your dogs best interest first. I still miss my old fella and it has been years and even though I have a new dog(well he's an old fella now and living on borrowed time) every now and again you get one dog that is just so special and they see you through the worst of times. I am thinking of you as you go through this part of the journey. No matter how much it hurts we always have that love and loyalty and memories to hold on to.
