For some, losing a dog is like losing a child, and I'll have words with anyone who challenges that. It being "expected" makes no difference. The bit I find most heartbreaking is that they don't lose any love, or happiness, even when they're ill. Personally, I think the aliens are waiting for them to take over before visiting us.
Pour out your feelings when and where you need to my friend, if it helps you deal with it, and of course best wishes from another cynophilist.
Hi Paul
I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you and your wife. I know how you feel having been in the same position. You have given the little fellow the best life you could. Now enjoy and cherish the time you have left and when the time comes you will know and hard as it will be you'll do what is right for Colin.

I’m so sorry to hear this Paul. We’ve just gone through it with our old tabby, a true friend for eighteen years, so I know exactly how you feel. Try to enjoy what time you have left and do what’s best for him when you have to. Animals give us unconditional love and unbounded joy so that is our part of the bargain.
Oh we know the feelings you are having. Take care and try to think of the great life you gave to Colin.
Nice update. The studio shows promise.....
Paul lovely work on your build
and I am so sorry to hear about little Colin. My wife and I have been there a number of times with our dogs over the years and we lost our little Lucy (border collie aussie mix) three years ago to complications of diabetes and there is not a day that goes by that we don’t think of her and miss her. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Hi Paul
Great update. Photos are nice and clear. All looking very neat and sorted. I wouldn't know where to start on a project like this.

I am so sorry to hear this I have lost two wonderful dogs in the past and it hurts. Our present woof is a rescue dog we have had for 14 years and is now an old man but I have never know a dog like him there isn't a bad bone in his body.
Our thoughts are with you.
