Oh Hobo is a handsome boy. I can relate to your situation completely. My Casey is 13. She is completely deaf but her other senses seem to be working fine. Recently she has been having difficulty going up and down steps and sometimes she fights me on going back up the steps when we go out for our walks. She still wakes up perky in the morning but moves slow on her walks and spends a lot of her time on "her" couch. I say it is her couch because she spends more time on it than anyone else.

I agree with Karen. You will know when it is time. Oh my gosh I have been thinking about it a lot with Casey and it is so difficult. Just make sure he is comfortable and treat him like a king. Keep us posted and send me a private message if you would like to chat about him. I have been through this with two other dogs and a cat but it never gets any easier. My thoughts are with you.
