Hard decision to make now, just found out Dodge has a tumor that could possibly spread reasonably quickly. If he was a couple of years younger, I wouldn't hesitate to get it cut out

mate, although we love them like kids, once they are getting old in and pain - we HAVE to do the right thing
my Boy Shenzo was 16years 11 months when I had to take him to the rainbow bridge - most Akita's only last 14, so I was lucky
his hips were going, he was getting blind and couldnt find the hidden bickkies anymore

His eyes are ok,well cataracts are starting but he can see well enough and ears are still good. Liver, kidneys heart all good, from what the vets tell me, so no concerns there so far...... But there's always that risk due to age etc. Anyway, need to think about it some more.

you will know when it is time Clunk
my missus would tell me he was having problems walking and sitting, and when I got home at the end of a swing - he was always like a2 yr old puppy, jumping around etc
so
I kept putting it off
then one day when I came home early from a swing-
he didnt hear the taxi
he didnt hear the blinds being opened
and
he never saw or heard me watching him for nearly 2 hours, poor bugger could hardly walk, and was struggling to sit down
was so sad to watch
when it was time for me to have been coming home, all of a sudden he picked up and was acting like a pup again

Bidja my mate the Kelpie
Great to see & read the fondness.
Great to have them around and hard to say goodbye.

Bidja was my loyal mate (11 years with me, got cancer, recently had to decide and say goodbye).
Hard stuff. Vet came out home (40ks from town) and Bidja new what it was about. Hard putting this together. We would free walk around the paddock at night and he would not even take off after a kanga or wallaby.
We have the three other Kelpies, his mother (Red)F/L, brother (Al)F/R & sister (ckockie). They now the deal, we are all a fond pack.

.........
Sometimes when ‘younger dogs’ they can amaze us all with battling survival strength :-)! Old ‘Del’ (now) our Blue some years ago tried to stop a 3.0+T Nissan Patrol as a wheel chock from reversing out of the house paddock. Pressure on the abdomen, stop, then forward, caused her eyes to pop almost out. All hope was near lost and cruel to be kind on the cards was felt inevitable but thankfully paused. Local ‘Fair Dinkum’ Vet upon arrival agreed near hopeless yet together gave our best efforts possible on the days thereafter.
Having a quiet brew together tonight before Melbourne City Cup carnage invades Yarra Glen :-)
