Sorry Spydee.
13 years is a long time. They go through a lot with you as well as you going through a lot with them. That is why the bond is so strong. I lost my dog of 13 years and it broke my heart. It took me two years before I got another puppy. The shock of the day and it's events will slowly fade and your memories of the good times will brighten. Hang in there.

Dogs are family members. So sorry. I love my little girl like she's my kid.

Very very sorry to hear of your loss.
We had to make the same decision with our 13-year-old lab mix about a year-and-a-half ago, also very sudden, also leaving his then 13-year-old "sister" alone. Still miss him every day, but now more often than not think about the good times rather than the end, so it gets a little easier over time. Eventually, we got a new puppy, who is doing his best to fill the empty spots. Life goes on.

Sorry for your loss, our household has empathy for you and your family. We had our 13-1/2 YO Catahoula Cur dog, Muffin, euthanized last Monday. She had fought off several problems in last year. However, Cushing's Syndrome, mild strokes, and brain cancer had taken their collective toll on her body and soul.
It is giant adjustment when you lose member of your family. I drove by place where we found her in summer of 1996 and smiled. Unfortunately, someone had turned her out when they dropped off their trash in dumpster at my wife's then-place of business. She lived under delivery van for several days until she came home with us. It was wonderful 13-1/2 years, too. Sweetest, kindest dog I ever owned. Also, you must deal with grief of surviving dog. Our 2-1/2 YO Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler) has been lost without her friend and mentor. She has been keeping watch by entry door to our house. Some extra attention and a new chew toy have eased her pain. RIP Tippy and RIP Muffin
