She is nowhere as troubled as Jake was, we just don't have the patience to deal with a puppy on top of everything else. But then again, I know it's because she is a puppy that she behaves so, and we just need to be more willing to adapt to her needs.<br /><br />Jake is in a better place now, without pain and worries. It's hard to put down a pet, been there. Wish I could give you a hug.

I wonder if he still carried a lot of pain from one of the ops that maybe wasn't as successful as you may have thought? Whatever it was, he was a great pet at one time and clearly was loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-56435379707300232402009-05-27T16:11:22.340+01:002009-05-27T16:11:22.340+01:00Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry this has happened, and to be honest I'm quite angry with your behaviourist, they should have realised what a serious situation you had and actually had a solution not lots of bills. Don't loose faith in our canine friends, there are lots out there that are nice and calm, entertaining and look after you, I think greyhounds are perfect, they are big but have small paws, short hair that dosen't get all over the place and they spend hours laying with their legs up the wall just relaxing which is always good for a human! Take some time to chill and drink lots of wine, things WILL get better.

I have had to "say goodbye" seven times now and I know how painful it is.<br /><br />I wonder what caused the change in Jake from a nice little companion into that dangerous monster. Perhaps something just went wrong in his brain; who knows? Not the animal behaviourist, obviously!<br /><br />I recommend labradors - easy to take care of, but always telling you they're hungry!<br /><br />Good luck with your choice.DogLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790183909033947474noreply@blogger.com
