I know, it sucks to put them down. I guess I need to get stronger and except that part of life. I was more upset when I put my shepard down 5 years ago, than I was when my grandfather passed. I "cried more" I should say. The timid thing seems to be common. My girl likes women more and does not like a strange person in the house at all. She will hide in the closet and bark until she knows someone pretty well and that takes time for her. Some people she never comes around to. She is terrified at the vets. That is why I am having this vet come now, so she gets to know him a little befor that day comes.
