Put our dog Spud down this morning

[freightdog]

Well, he was rescued from the pound over a year ago -

He was always with me herding cows - even though he had no clue how to herd - he always tried -

Can not write more -

But I put him down this morning - he was really sick -

 

[Trollhole]

Man, sorry to hear that.

Dang, sorry to hear it, Jeff. I was afraid I was going to be forced into the same position yesterday. Go pet Hoss......

Damn - sorry to hear that. My wife and I always seem to rescue the dogs that no one else wants. They are either sick, old, or sick and old - sometimes we don't know they are sick until we get them home.

It is never easy putting a dog down - but I'm sure he was happy for the time you gave him.

 

[Hank]

Sorry to hear. Good looking pooch.

 

[D'Animal]

Congrats for adopting him, sorry about your loss.


Not that it makes it any easier but you gave him a very happy 1 year extension of his life.


I was pretty messed up a few weeks ago with two of mine and they did not die but it still makes you sick.

sucks brother. i am in a similar position, one of my dogs (he's almost 14) has all but quit eating and i dont think it will be long before we have to make that same decision. I feel your pain. its tough as hell

 

[freightdog]

Thanks...Chad I got Hoss right by my side...he understands...I am okay now...just could not stand to see him suffer...

Thanks all -

He's very lucky you rescued him, and lucky again you didn't let him suffer. Still sucks for you, sorry.

 

[brett76]

[splitshot]

Sorry for the loss..What a handsome face.

 

[cajun65]

Sorry for your loss there bud. That's a tough decision, and they're always missed.

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

Sorry for your loss...

 

[NorCal Cruiser]

That sucks. Sorry for your loss.

 

[sirenmoses]

sorry to hear. glad you gave him love, and kept his suffering to a minimum.

took my latest rescue in to meet the vet & found he has a very low heartbeat: should have bloodwork results back sometime today. aws crossed:

 

[freightdog]

Thanks for all the thoughts - Spud is resting here on the Navajo Rez - and Hoss is missing his ole buddy - but loving the 100% attention!

Deep sympathies go out to you and family. Give thanks for the time you had together.
