I read the post as to why they thought about putting the old dog down.  I
think the vet is right, she sounds like the type of dog that would mourn
and eventually die of a broken heart.  It would be cruel not to.  I have
had quite a few animals that loved another one and went through the
mourning process when the others died.  At her age I wouldn't want to put
her through it.  I think that although it sounds bad it would have been
the best thing if you are unable to keep her.
 
Now that everyone has seen the rest of the story I hope the opinions stop
because that has to be a bad spot to be in.
