John,
That is indeed sad news. I have never met you or Larp, 
but from the way you describe him, I can tell he means 
a lot to you, and you to him.

As a dog "caretaker" ;~)  , we have two mini Dachsunds,
and having had to euthanize at least one dog years ago due to 
inadequate finances to pay for the $$$ medical care, 
he dug under our fence and was struck by a car, 
I know how it sux to have to contemplate money at a time like this.

Decisions like the one you have to make are seldom
easy. Whatever you decide, just remember that dogs
love their humans with no reservations, and he will still
be your best friend no matter what.
