At least I would want to be reassured so that way I wouldn't think I was crazy.

Yep. I've been going to the same place for about six years now, so have a history built up there. I took him in for x-rays on his rear hips and basically laid out the entire story to the doctor on call that night. That was back in September. Since then, I've called ahead to make sure that vet was working so that, due to his EOL circumstance, he's seeing the same person. I just had him back for full blood work, fecal test, and heart worm test and asked the vet if she'd be willing to put together a document outlining all of his treatments since I've been bringing him there, his current condition (which is degenerative), and overall breed properties and she was more than willing.
I've also purchased a new dog house that Trajan never uses and placed it where it's visible to everyone. I'm asking for
this for Christmas, for no other reason than to be able to say that my pet has access to a heated dog house when outside.
Allegedly, a guy named Bill from Anti-cruelty is supposed to come out here next Thursday. He was supposed to come out a few weeks ago but didn't. So, I called him back asking what happened and he said something came up and would reschedule. I'm really looking forward to him coming out here. I guess at that point, we'll have some closure to this whole debacle.
