floriduck, my heart goes out to you in no small way. It really is the worst. It tears you up completely.
All I can say is I'm right there with you. My dog has terminal cancer and we're taking it day by day. We're hoping for a couple more months with him before his quality of life declines.
The bond you form with a dog is like nothing else... shit, I'm gonna start crying. I'm just really, really sorry. I wish I could say something to ease your pain but I don't have the words. As much as we wish we could walk around the pain we have to walk through it. I'm so sorry.
Big big hugs to you. I know we'll both get through it somehow but I know what you mean about feeling lost.
