Zues has crossed the bridge

I just wanted to thank those of you who kindly supported my decision with Zues......the agressive Rott. I spoke with my vet prior and she agreed with all of you....and me.

He's home now and at peace.

I'm so sorry for you loss...

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's sometimes so hard to do the right thing when your feelings come into play. I think that you did the right thing. I'm glad that he is at peace now. Rest in peace Zeus. You & your family will be in my thoughts & prayers.

I just posted to your other thread, then I saw this one.
You are a very brave soul, and I am sorry you had to do this.

My thoughts are with you, Zeus is now free of whatever demons plagued him. Godspeed, Zeus.

You posted in your other thread that you were afraid people would put you down for your decision.

I think you will find just the opposite on this board. I think you will find tons of support!

He is at peace now. Always feeling the need to be agressive, always being corrected and reprimanded, and having people act scared and fearful around you is not a great way for a dog to lead his life. He deserves better and you did everything you could to try and make that happen. I hope you can find some comfort in that.

There have been recent threads where dogs displaying aggression have bit and injured humans. You did the right thing.
Find peace in your decision knowing you put this boy and his demons to rest. Take care -

I'm so sorry

I am so sorry and I know your heart must be breaking:( . Sometimes we have to make decisions for the safety of others, no one can fault you for that my friend. May you soon have peace knowing you did what had to be done and poor Zues is finally at peace. Hugs!

Vickie, I have walked in your shoes. It is very hard to make the decision to let a so called healthy dog pass on. But the demons that some dogs have make them act out and it is our responsibility to keep them safe. You have made sure that Zues is safe. He will no longer have to fight the demons in his head and you can take comfort that he is now at peace.

Right now mourn the loss, grieve the separation, celebrate his life and rejoice in the love that you shared. Good memories will come and over take the pain that you feel now. You gave Zues the gift of the best and last love we can give our pets.

Hugs
sue

I am so sorry

RIP Zues,

It's at this time that you need to cry, grieve, and "let it all out". There is no other way to deal with such a loss. You have people here that are phenomenal in understanding the deep love that is felt for a pet. Many have gone above and beyond to help me through.

Know that Zues is now free from all that haunted him and is running around with all that have gone before him.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Amy:(

I sit here at work with tears running down my face and cant help but feel your pain. When it comes time for Harley to cross the bridge I know that I will shed a great deal more tears, but I will also remember the good times, like when he gets so excited that his little nub starts wagging so fast his whole butt must wiggle too or he would throw it out of joint, or when he cocks his head to the side with his mouth open and his ears up looking at me like , 'What now dad?'

Well as I can get wordy at time specially when talking about my dog I just wanted you to know that you did the best thing you could have done in that situation. It is never easy to put a dog down no matter what the circumstances are. And I will think about you and yours, and hope that you can focus on the good times and cry just a little about the end.

Good luck and God speed,
John

RIP Zues. You did the right thing, he is in a place now where there is nothing to torment his mind, where he can play and where he can wait for you.

Our deepest sympathies

Godspeed, Zeus.

Your mistress loved you enough to let you go.
