I had to put our rescue dog Spike(Pekingese) down today.. He was a Hurricane Katrina dog. He was 15-17 years old. The owners left him with a rescue group we work with in D-FW. They were going to keep him, no cost, take him to them at no cost, the owners called and said they did not want him. How can you do that to a dog you have had 10 years or more.
R.I.P. old man. I will miss your grumpy old butt.

I am down to 11 dogs now.

It is tough. We had to do a 15 year old Lab a couple of years ago. People ask us how we can send a year old dog off to service dog school. Much easier.

The Power of a Dog

There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; and when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie- Perfect passion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk your heart for a dog to tear

When the fourteen years which Nature permits Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, And the vet's unspoken prescription runs To lethal chambers or loaded guns, Then you will find - it's your own affair- But... you've given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will, With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!) When the spirit that answered your every mood Is gone - wherever it goes - for good, You will discover how much you care, And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way, When it comes to burying Christian Clay. Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent. Though it is not always the case, I believe, That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve:

For, when debts are payable, right or wrong, A short time loan is as bad as a long- So why in - Heaven (before we are there) Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

Rudyard Kipling.

Sorry man. I have a 15ish year old dog that is getting close too.

I have lost a few this year also. The big guy in the pic is the only one left but two other rescues have shown up. People dump dogs out here all the time. They must figure they are giving them a chance, but all they are doing is making them coyote food.



Here is one of them.

Sorry for your loss. We had to put down our 14 year old Heidi last year and it was one of the toughest things I have ever done.

The only way to combat violence is with greater violence!
Trying to please everyone is way to hard, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake!

Our 18 year old chihuahua that we have had as a pup passed 2 days later.... What a week. He was a dear chihuahua which means he had long legs.... He have very nice puppies.
