I doubt that we will ever do it again. One the last 2 that we have had, the end wasn't what I want to go through again.
Our most recent was a half Pomeranian and 100% lousy dog. It hated men and Kids. But it liked women and it became a part of my Wife's life. It growled and snapped at the Grandkids and actually bit me once. Funny thing; when one Granddaughter "grew up" it started getting along with her. Don't ask because I don't know. If it got free, I had to spend hours hunting for it. And yet, at the end, after I had spent 5 or 6 thousand bucks at the vet, it hurt to put it down.
I now get my dog fix by boarding my Grandsons half Shepard and half fence jumper when they go out of town. When they return, I kinda miss Good Old Bear being around.
Dave did you write "Marly and ME" I just saw that show and it is exactly like your story.
The last thing the dog lady said as see handed us our new highly bred bloodline cattle dog pup (now none as Ranger you will see him in alomost every picture I post on here) was "You'll have your hands full with this one". Truer words have never been spoken.
