[Static'sMum]

I'm sorry to hear of Pugsley's passing.
I lost my little Pom x boy last year - had to have him pts two days after my birthday - due to an inoperable tumor in his throat. My grandmother took him to the vet (we didn't know about the tumor until after the vet put him under to check him out) and she made the decision to have him pts without bringing him out of the anaesthetic - and it broke my heart to know that he had no family with him at all. Your boy had his mum with him, so he wasn't alone. And I've learnt over the years, that animals understand a lot more than we give them credit for. He would have known how much you loved him, and i'm sure he will be waiting for the day he can give you one of those great big slobbery smooches that only Rotties can give - no hard feelings.
Chin up. When I have a hard day and think about Bo - I think of his quirks that always made me laugh - these were the reason i fell in love with him at the shelter. He was my old man - looked about 5, was actually about 10, but acted about 100. I only had him for four years, but I know he had a great four years, and that is all that matters.
