| About 3 years ago we had to put down my first dog ever, a weimaraner that was just a month or so shy of her 15th birthday. I'd been telling my DH and my 2 girls for years that any day now something could happen. It started as a cough, a few days later was bad. The vet found a large growth. We took her home but on the way out the door, I asked the vet how would I know when the right time was. He gently told me that I would know.
About a year later I discovered Boykin spaniels and brought home a pup. He is MY dog - I tell DH, that the dog is the best man in my life! Several months later after an unexpected death in my family we rescued a 4 month old Golden Doodle. She is sweet but definitely has ADHA!Bounces off of the walls most days. You are so right, HisGraceFillsMe, having two dogs is worth all of the trouble. The only problem in my Boykin's world is that he can not decide who he loves more - me or the doodle! |
