Yea, another tough day in our family. My son is crushed because he is rushing home from college to get to see him one last time before we put him down. We had to call him and tell him not to rush. We just couldn't wait any longer. It was time to end the suffering. In the last 2 or 3 days he couldn't even step up a 12 inch ledge. Thanks for all your thoughts Lime, ShawShaw, UT.

I'm so sorry Merc. I know how much you loved those dogs. Give my sympathies to the family.

I watched an episode of the Dog Whisperer earlier and there was a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I thought of you.

Oh Merc, I'm so sorry. Terribly sad. And your poor lad, he must be so upset.

How's the remaining dog coping? This must be such a strange and confusing time for him.

First thanks to all. Yep they were my boys and I still do have one left.

Dana I am not sure the last guy knows the other is not coming back. He is 3 years younger and assumed the pack leader role as soon as we lost Gurkha. He has relished his new role and done a surprisingly good job. We have always had 2 or three dogs. We have already discussed getting another one if we can find the right dog.

Sucks, Merc. But kudos for knowing when to call time. I hate when people drag it out for their gratification.

Wow, I just read this thread. I'm really sorry about your puppy dog. It's terrible to lose a pet that you love. One of my friends recently had to put her dog down thanks to liver cancer. Apparently it's fairly common in dogs which is something I never knew before. Anyway, my thoughts are with you. I'm worried I'm going to be in the same place with my Sheba later this year depending on how she copes with winter this year.

I hope you can find a new puppy to love just as much as Simba.

*hugs* Merc. So sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had the strength to do the right thing for your friend, as hard as it was.
