I know the feeling, dude. I had a dog pass more than a year ago due to cancer. So your situation is a really tough one. Just spend as much time with the poor pup as you can before you finally make that trip to the vet. It's about all you can do.
Well, that and going to the pound and saving another dog or two and giving it/them a loving home.

Sorry to hear about this. Just remember your dog will be in a better place. Try not to think about it, hang out with friends more. I did this when my cat got put down. Hope this helps

I know exactly how you feel- it's so hard to have to put a pet to sleep, since they practically become part of the family. We had to take our dog to the vet to be put to sleep a few years ago, since he was too old, and was suffering and in pain. The decision to put him to sleep was not easy, but we knew that it was the best thing for him, since it was his time to go. To be honest, it was so much harder to come back to a house without my dog, then to even watch him being put to sleep, because he was seriously ready to go. It was almost a relief to see an end to his suffering. We had him for about 16 years, and he was around 18, so he had a long life, and it was his time.
It's very difficult to have to say goodbye to a pet. What helps though, is to remind yourself that it's really for the best, even though it's really difficult to have your pet be put to sleep. You have to take your dog's well-being into account. Having your dog suffer while living is not fair to him/her, whether they are seriously ill or just too old to enjoy life. I know exactly what you're going through- before we made the final decision to put our dog to sleep, I had the hardest time accepting it...I kept wanting him to live- the simple thought of him not being around was too sad for me to bare. But seeing him suffer through his old age was much harder, and we made the decision to take him to the vet to have him put to sleep.
I am sorry to hear about this, dogs really do become a part of the family. It's going to be difficult for you, but if you try to remind yourself that it's for the best, it will help you pull through. Also, after your dog is put to sleep, think about all the good times you had with him/her, and try not to dwell on the fact that they're no longer around. It is tough, and a grieving process. But when our furry friends go, thinking about the nice memories we have of them can really help.
