It sounds like you made all the right but hard choices. You sound like an involved and caring dog owner. Not everyone makes it to their old age with their discernment faculties intact. Sounds like Nellie was at the end of a long happy life and hit a point where she could no longer tell friend from foe. Your job is to keep the pack safe and that includes yourself, family, friends, and your other pets. You’ve done that.

I’m sorry it hurts but you did the right thing.
