Good Bye, Dobi

[knygren76]

   Our family has to say good-bye to our four year old doberman/rottie.  He nipped at a lil girl last Saturday.  He's such a wonderful dog for our family, but evidently sensed the fear of a little girl that came over.  He growled and nipped at her.  Didn't break the skin, thank the Lord.  We did find a family with a fenced in yard and no kids.  He is getting picked up tomorrow.  I'm still so sad though.  I love him so very much, and he's a great dog, but we simply will not take the chance of this happening again!
Also, my 11 year old labrador has a tumor on her chest.  Because of her age, we won't operate.  We've had her since a puppy too

Soon, we'll be left with just Tico & Mason (our 6 year old rottweiler.)  Feeling pretty sad today...just wanted to share.

Good-bye, Dobi, you'll be dearly missed

Oh gosh honey.  I am so sorry.  I know how tough all that is.   (((((Keisha)))))

Thanks, Lisa,  tomorrow will be an emotional day, I'll be balling for sure.  I just love him so much.  He gets picked up tomorrow
At least he is going to a WONDERFUL home, and we don't have to put him down.

I am glad that you were able to find him a home you can trust versus the alternative.  I will be thinking of your family tomorrow.

oh that is sad  would he have got used to wearing a muzzle? i take it you were out on the street when this hapened? 

you labrador isnt that old really,i'm sure she would cope fine with an operation. my staffy had an operation when he was twelve and he was fine afterwards  if it will save her life then i'd be inclined to have it done

Keisha and Tico... I;m sooooo sorry!  Nancy

That is a real sad story, but it is better than the alternative.

Thanks, everyone.  Dobi is with his new mom and dad now...I am going to say good-bye tomorrow.  They have a cabin close to us, and they come up North every few months.  I know this is best for Dobi...(I wouldn''t want him to be in a muzzle.)  Never thought of that, but anyway, he will be much happier with his new family, with a fenced in yard...
As for Jasmine,  I think 11 is pretty old for a Lab, and as long as she is happy and running around, We're fine with that.  But I certainly can't see spending $1,000.00 (+) to have it removed,,,with the chance of more coming up.  So for now, she is still very energetic and happy, and we'll keep it that way, as long as God allows.  I just hope poor Mason won't be too depressed, having his buddy, Dobi, gone.  I do think he'll be alright though .

keisha i agree with you on the lab, i would do the same, you have to look at what is in his best interest . sad about the dobe, but at least you have found him another home and secured his future so havnt got to worry, it could have been a far worst scenario...
