Had two pit bulls running loose today. Called Animal Control and they still haven't been by as far as I can tell. The dogs are still running around. I had to give one water and food. The other seems to have vanished. Both have open sores and maybe mange. The black one looks like it has been fed, the tan one is rather thin, she is the one I fed. Both are friendly and without collars. I hope they get picked up before they die of a heat stroke. Would take them in the house but I have four dogs and not knowing what skin condition they have I can't chance it.

Animal Control is like Code Enforcement - both about worthless.

Today was the day that we have been dreading. Her health had gotten really bad. She was almost totally blind. Legs real stiff. She was having seizures where she would collapse and howl in pain. The vet said it was probably her heart giving out so we decided that it as time to end her suffering. Almost 11 years after I found her.

Losing a dog is tough and you will never forget them. Your pup was lucky since she found a real home with you and knew she was loved.

Losing your dog sucks. Sorry for your loss. At least you will smile when you think of her.

Rick... So sorry to hear you lost your fur baby. Ours is getting pretty long in the tooth as well. My wife and I will miss her dearly when she is gone.
I suppose the hardest part is filling in those special times when you spend time with your pup. I was sitting on the porch yesterday while ours was getting a wash and toenail trim and thinking about how so many small moments of time she fills in our lives.
At any rate... Our condolences go out to you. ST

we had to have our litttle jack russell put down the other day......lady vet came in, talked to the dog on the couch for a while, gave him the shot, came out and talked to me on the back porch for a while, went back to the couch picked up the dog, wheeled him out to her van on a gurney and took him away. Dog died very very peacefully.......we should all be so lucky......mac (wish I could remember the name of the organization that did this for me, one of my neighbors wants to do his the same way.....mac

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

I'm sorry for your loss, Rick.
We found this little guy strutting down the middle of the street. Fearing for his life, we picked him up and tried to find the owner. After casing the neighborhood where we found him, posting notices on every pole we could find, and placing an advert in the paper, we decided to keep him. The vet that chipped and clipped him told us that he was at least 8 years old. He was blind with cataracts, deaf, and had but one tooth in his mouth. We have had him now for four years. Given the quality of his life, I have often thought him better off if we had him put down but I cannot bear the thought of not having him with us any longer. I guess I'm selfish but I have convinced myself that even his bad life is bearable because he knows that he's loved.
