Off to put the dog down.

On this subject I have no words

Judge and Lady Red, so sorry to hear this. I know how hard it is to have to do that.

My sympathies, Judge. I had to put down my best friend (not the booze hound in my avatar btw) two years ago. I'm just now considering getting a puppy.

deepest of sympathy, went through it with my old dog ralph. worst thing i ever had to do. it's still difficult to look at his picture.

Mrs. Judge had to take the day off today. She can't stop crying.
She even was looking to see if he left any "presents" which used to piss her off and now will most likely cause her more grief.

I a picture of Karma on my desk, and look at it every day. I know how tough losing a beloved family member is.

My deepest sympathies, and thanks for making me cry in the hotel clublounge.

It was the weak drinks that made you weep but thanks for the sentiment.

[Mister Priapus]

I don't know what to say really. Worst thing I ever had to do was put down the occasional tropical fish. That was hard enough.

Trying to get a grasp on this...

I'm a bit late responding, and admittedly I haven't slogged through the thread, but I hope you got through it okay. Our dog gives us more joy than a fifth of good scotch, and I dread the day we have to follow your path. It goes with the territory, I suppose.

A toast to our four-legged buddies... *clink*

You vtjim are long missed on this board. You should visit more and thank you for your kind words.

I had to put down Tigger 'cause she wouldn't stop biting people. She was too big and too mean, and even the guy that trained GSD attack dogs wouldn't go anywhere near her. I tried to hire a woman to take Tigs on a walk and she took one look at Tigs and said no way and don't let her out of the cage. Apparently she had mental problems.

She bit my girlfriend, my best friend from college, and four other people.

But she was always good to me, I loved that dog. She rode in my truck with me from Chicago to Frisco to Tijuana with her head on my leg the whole way. That was my dog.

It was so horrible putting her down, I can't describe it. She was alive and healthy and strong and still young, but just too dangerous to live. Not dangerous to me, but anybody else that came near was in serious trouble.

When I left for work in the morning, she'd sit by the door and watch it and wait for me to come home. She'd basically sit there all day and watch the door. I checked once in a while 'cause the window from the patio side of my apartment looked in on my front door. As soon as she heard my keys jingle she'd be jumping up and down and wagging her whole body in half.

I hope you're at peace now, Tigs.

And here's to your dog. To the good years. It's worth it, you know.

Zimne,

That must have tough to pull the trigger on a dog that loves you but not anybody else.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of dog was Tigger?
