re: FINAL UPDATE: Life with our Katrina puppy has come to an end… sadness inbound.

Ours was one of three puppies that the original rescuers decided to keep two of the three,but let us have the third.
Ours was a complete mutt, big dog with long shaggy fur. He was a nice dog, healthy up till he just got sick and died fairly quickly. He was a nice dog, never bothered anyone

So sorry. Dogs represent true love.

Was talking to my brother today. He had to put down his old dog yesterday. Same dog that came live with me after Katrina. Was 17 years old. Bad thing was, when they came here, they had a very old dog around 15 that had to be put down due to blind, no hearing and was trying to bite everyone in the house. Was very sad for him to have to do that at the time.

Sorry man, she lived a good life thanks to you.

Yeah, putting down a loved pet really sucks. My brother-in-law went through the very same thing late last year when the puppy he rescued in N.O. before evacuating 4 days after Katrina took sick with a lot of cancer to her vital organs.

It was a hard thing for him to do, but he knew it was time since she had no hope to survive and would only get worse as each day passed. But even knowing that, it does take an emotional toll.

All you can do is remember all the good times spent with your much loved pet.

Some skullworm dog dumper dumped a Great Dane out on I 49. It had a very bad hip and no one could approach it (and it was suffering in the hot July sun). Sheriff's deputy came by and we knew what had to be done.

The dog had been growling and barking, but when the shot hit, it started whining and wagging its tail during the few seconds it had remaining.

I truly wish death upon dog dumpers.

You wrote that beautiful tribute & use a pic you found off the internet?

Cmon man

Just didn't want to put her oozing facial tumors on the board.
