Also had to put my 16 year old rescue dog down this year.
You feel very guilty at first, as the decision which is done out of kindness is still the responsibility of the owner.
A bit sad really, but we created a bit of a memorial for him in our house with his ashes and some pictures.
We recently got another dog, as the house is just too quite but have gone from a Bullmastiff cross to Bichon Shih tzu cross so deliberately a totally different dog, but very difficult to find a rescue dog these days with having kids, so had to go online to find a breeder, which isn't ideal.
