mourning

Guinness is gone. He had to be euthanized Friday.

From the rather teary report I got, there was an unprovoked attack on a neighbor minding her own business. The attack was severe enough to warrant an ER trip, though from what I hear she'll be ok. But that was his final strike. He'd bitten three people here, and this was the second since going to live with Laura, starting anxiety meds and seeing a behaviorist.

If nothing else, we both know we did everything possible to save Guinness from himself.

I'm on pretty heavy drugs right now, and still crying regularly.

Guinness, I never stopped loving you. I wish there had been some way to save you from the demon in your genetic code. I did everything I could to make sure you were happy, healthy, socialized, exercised, trained and loved. Losing you has hurt more than losing any dog since Oliver.

I know you're at the Bridge, harnessed up and ready to go for one of our wild neighborhood rolls together. Hang on for me pupperboy; at the rate I'm going you won't be waiting overlong.

I am so very sorry, honey!!! I know you and his other mama did the absolute best you could for him and sometimes you never do find out why an animal acts the way s/he does. Let Tassie comfort you, and when you get ther, you take that silly dog fir a good long RUN then a wrestle in the grass.

Nose licks from Shadow, who is also sad for you. (I told you that you were gonna get me in trouble. So now I have a crazy little black poodle who never makes a sound unless she's kenneled. Thank you for putting that dog craving in my heart. *hugs*)

My condolences for your loss. I have experienced this myself when younger and it is heartbreaking to lose a pet this way even if in terms of safety it has to be.

I'm so very sorry. Jethro had to be euthanized for precisely the same reason.

I am so sorry you lost him. I know what you went through, but he's at peace with the demon's that fed his anxieties. There was so much promise in the beginning. I hope the lady who was attacked will be alright. My heart aches for you! HUGZ
