Kaylie and I had a special bond I have never had with an animal. She used to fall over her self to get to me when I would come home from a business trip and never take her eyes off me if we were in the same room. She was one of a kind and passed giving me kisses as she loved her daddy :cry:

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know the pain. 1 year ago last Oct.12th we had to put our 14 yr. old Rottie Maxwell down. I was very dehydrated from all of the crying that I was doing.We still have pics of him all over our house.

I am so sorry to hear about this. Kylie was really cool. Her and Izzy have played on the sandbar before.
Don't feel like a puss. My dogs have been the only things I have ever really broken down over. They get closer to you than anything ever has in my life because of their devotion.
Just keep her in your heart. She will be around forever.
Sorry to hear it Rubths.... Seemed to do well with kids, too... :(

Thanks bro she loved kids it was little white poodles on the sand bar nipping at her legs she had a problem with :argue: Even then she didnt bite down and hurt Larrys dog grape and Kaylie had that poodle all in her mouth.
Man this is killing me. Im having such a hard time because she was a very healthy strong dog I had to put down. She had a collission last year with our other dog on the sand bar chasing birds and it compressed a disc in her neck. That compression put presure on a nerve for her hind end and would make her wobbly and sometimes fall. Untill two days ago when the rain came she had been doing fine but I found her in the morning not able to get up off her bed so I picked her up and took her outside hoping she would strech out and do her business like usual and be ok but I found her 5 minutes later laying in her shiat and could not get up, I knew then it had to be done.
I am in Vegas right now and so heart broken that I can't even enjoy what Vegas has to offer me. I went to sleep last night without gambling one penny and for anyone that knows me thats not me I live to gamble.
Grape ape is going to take me out for some titties... I mean drinks tonight and get my mind off my loss.

Rub,
I was just playing about the white Poodle.. She was just putting it in "Check". I have to do that to some of my Smaller friends sometimes when they lip off, and think they can take me down after to many River Sodas... :D
I will see you tonight..

My heart goes out to you. I had to put my Rotti (Gerda) of 13 years down. She had cancer in her nose and it was spreading. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do and let me tell you I cried and cried and cried. I hated walking into the house knowing she wasn't sitting at the door waiting for me. I put her down 2 1/2 years ago and I still think about her. I even have her picture as my screen saver. I thought that I would never want another dog having to go through the pain of losing her but after 4 months I broke down and found my another Rotti. She's not Gerda but I am so happy I got her. So maybe after it doesn't hurt as much you should get yourself another Rotti. Hope this helps.. :shift:

Rub,
I am glad that you got a Pic of Kaylie, you, and the Little One.. She is Hard to Replace, but you need to get another Rotti when the time is right. There is a Rotweiler Rescue in San Diego that always has 3-5 Dogs.. I had to Give them a Female that I had when I had to move into a Small Apt..... I told myself that I would adopt one, if I got another one..

I made me cry too. Grape I know what you mean and my buddy has a 5 month male of champian breed he will give me right now I just am to heart broken to give my love to another at this time. If I do get another I have to get another female, the males are just to goofy for me.

A 5 month old Male..thats what I wanted. But my 2 females were the last in the litter and they were too much fun so we couldnt split them up. ended up coming home with both. Now they live with the Ex wife (she has a bigger yard) but I still play with them when I pick up my kids...plus I can kidnap them for the weekends :wink:

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
Sorry for your loss Rubths

Walked out of the room ,told them to just mail me the bill . Didn't want to pay & cry in front of others . The hardest part was when the girls came home from dance & telling them .

I couldn't bring myself to read this yesterday and now I know why. Every post of yours made me cry. (except the last one) I feel for you, I am a huge animal lover and know first hand how hard it is to lose a pet. She is in a place now that she feels no pain and she knows how much you loved her. It will get easier. I still cry for my German Shepard I lost when I was kid.

I am sorry for your loss too. I think putting an animal down is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. The pain will eventually go away. It helped that I still had my other animals in the house.
Hang in there both of you. Each day will get easier.
Sorry about that. We've all had lots of pets since childhood, they have left us before.
But every time it happens again, it still hurts bad. My sympathies.

Im not sure what it would have cost me my step sister works for an emergency animal hospital and I did not pay a dime. I am having Kaylie cremated and have a hookup on that to only $57. I would have paid thousands to have her walking right.
Tell them to pound sand on the $25 to be in the room thats bullshait.

http://www2.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/786004-thumb.jpg Mine has lung cancer and will have to put her down soon. I had her since she was a pup and that was 11 yrs ago. It really sucks because when do you actually know when to make the call. I have know idea what signs to look for. The vet said when she stops eating. All her life I have just feed her dry food and on occasions scraps and left overs. When I found out she had cancer 3 months ago this dog goes with me every where now. I let her get away with murder now (maybe that's a bad medafore). Every day now she gets feed either Steak, chicken, hamburger patties with cheese, beef jerky from the meat market. So I guess I'll know its time when she wont eat any of that. It just really sucks!
Just a thought, I know this is an awkward time to discuss it....
When our old Springer Spaniel had to leave us a few years ago, the vet came to our house. It was so much better that Boo didn't have to ride to the vet and get upset about going in the office. He was dumb ;) , but he knew that going to the vet wasn't for fun.
So my wife and I got to hold him and comfort him as the drugs took effect, and he went to sleep on his favorite couch.
Again, I'm sorry for the loss of your buddy.

The vet came to your house!!!!!! What is the population where you live....100. How did you manage that? If I had to ask my vet that, the whole office would probably laugh me out the door. That would be real nice, but I really don't think that would happen where I live. It takes almost a week just to get an appointment. I appreciate the advice any way.http://www2.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/786004-thumb.jpg

Population 280,000. I dunno the how or why, he just said he would do it. I guess because he had been our vet for a long time.
Doesn't hurt to ask....

Really sorry to hear that, we lost our first KODY Christmas night 2003 and it was heart breaking. Our current Rotti is from Europe (KODY), he is S1 and in training for ring sport, he is 20 months old. We will breed him at 2.5 and if you have not gotten a new Rotti by them let us know, can get you one of his pups.

Sorry to hear, what a shiatty Xmas that was huh.
For us each day is better but the hurt is still there. We are leaving for Glamis today until next Tuesday and this trip wont be the same without her. I worry most about our other dog Maggie, Kaylie was her partner and she has really been depressed looking all over the house for her.

First. Rub, I am truly sorry for your loss.
Second. My vet does house calls. He is in Redlands CA. I have not had to put either of my boys down, but a friend had them over for his rott.
They were spooning on the living room floor. :cry:

That was me on the floor of the vets, the doc had to think I was some wacko all cuddled in with her. I could have had her put down at the house but it would have been harder on me having to carry her lifeless body out to a truck afterwords.
