Our oldest dog who is 13 is close too. It's going to break my wife's heart when she does finally pass.
We got her from the pound when she was still a puppy. Ugly little thing that was found in the park and as we walked past the spot where all the puppies were, she was the only one jumping up on the wall saying "I PICK YOU, I PICK YOU" with her tail wagging and when I put my hand down she jumped into my arms.
Now, she has trouble getting up and down the steps and has cysts on her legs. She's still very happy and tries to jump when we get home, but it wears her out.
One thing though, she doesn't just lay around like she's ready. She still gets into the garbage and loves to eat paper, we have to keep our bathroom doors closed or she will get the rolls of TP all over the place.
Yes, it's going to break my heart too.
I have to say, it's ok to cry, it really is and let your wife and kids see too so they know it's ok as well.
