My GR is about the same age as your guy and has good days and bad days. I, too, worry about taking a vacation because I want to be with him if he becomes really sick and either passes away naturally or has to be sent to the Rainbow Bridge with the vet’s help.
I know how hard it is to have a prognosis that’s pointing the way to a final resting place. Since it sounds as though the relationship you have with your dog is very special, my suggestion would be to spend as much time with him as possible. Love him as he has loved you for all these years. Send your love to him by placing one hand on his head, the other on his heart and sending your feelings of friendship and joy to him. You may be surprised at the feelings you get back!
Last but not least, he will tell you when it’s time to let go; You will see it in his eyes.
May your remaining time with him be filled with joy rather than sorrow.
