My Mucho

[Mucho's Mom]

What a horrible day! We put my baby down this morning. Mucho would have been 10 on New Year's Day....he had had diabetis since February and we had a tough time getting him regulated on the insulin but he fought with us and wiggled his butt everyday thru 2 shots of insulin a day. We started noticing him dragging his back legs in September and on the 10th of September we think he might have had a small stroke as Mucho walked drunk then not at all. That night he took a turn for the worse, then on Sept. 11 I rushed him to our wonderful vets clinic where Mucho licked everyone and crawled on his front legs and belly to reach the vet's assistant that had treats in her pocket. Seeing this we all decided (vets included) to give Mucho a large shot of predezone. Within 12 hours of this shot Mucho was up on his feet and acting like my spoiled boy. That was 3 months ago. Mucho had another session last Tuesday. We gave him another shot of predezone Wednesday with pills everyday after. The shot this time lasted a couple of hours. Saturday night Mucho couldn't even releave himself outside and would take a step or two and collapse. Last night his spirit left him and he wouldn't even lift his head. My boy is buried under a gorgeous pine tree in Prescott Arizona where he loved chasing the bunnies. My whole body aches and hurts like a hurt I've never felt before. How long does this pain last? I've been crying for 3 days now and I just don't know how I will go home tonight and face an empty house. I can only hope that he is in a place where he can run again and that he'll always remember us as HIS play toys. He owned us, we were his pets. Thank you all for all your support and advise you all have given me. I want another rottweiler some day, they are terrific 4 legged kids. Looking at one right now just hurts too much. My Mucho, I love you and will miss you Baby. Run fast and hurt no more. :(

Rest in peace Mucho. I know how much it hurts to have a loved pet leave you right near the holidays. It's so difficult & there is no time limit on how long it takes to grieve. Just let it all out. We're here to listen & everyone understands & has been through this. You'll be in my thoughts....

God Speed Mucho...

I am so very sorry for your loss.:( :( :(

[Mucho's Mom]

Thank YOU ALL so very much for replying to me. I know that where ever he is right now he's running! Running fast to make up for the running he couldn't do last week. I know one day I'll wake up and long for another rottie or a dog that needs me like I'll be needing him. I have decided that I will for sure recue a dog and make him my best friend for as long as he'll have me. Happy holidays to all of you. Again, Thank You for your very nice words.

Sorry to hear about your boy. I certainly can sympathize with you. They leave a heck of a hole in your heart when they go.

He's in good company now..


Terrible time of year for this to happen, ain't it... :(

[Mucho's Mom]

Thanks Stubby! Is there ever a good time. I did manage to get Mucho to open one of his Christmas gifts, it was a plush fuzzy bone with a squeaker. It's with him now along with his first and favorite rope toy.

So sorry to hear about Mucho. I know what it feel's like to have to put a beloved pet to sleep. In my case I had Misha for 13 years, and even that wasn't long enough for me.

But, they are both in a beter place running and playing pain-free.

I don't have many words of comfort for you, since they would seem hollow.

You will go through many stages of grief, but some day, you will smile when you think of him, without shedding tears too badly.

They never live long enough for us.

[Mucho's Mom]

Thank you for all your kind words. You all have been so sincere and sympathetic to my sadness. I saw a male rottie walking with his owner last night and he ran right up to me with kisses all over my hands. That really lifted my spirit as if he was sent to me with a kiss...maybe to tell me he's all right where he is? I am feeling better. I donated his diabetic food and unopened syringes to a lady that has a dog with the same disease and when I gave it to her you would have thought I had given her the winning lotto ticket. Treating diabetis is very expensive but I told her to not give up the fight. That made me feel good also. I'm sure it won't be long before I get another one. Thank you all again! Happy Holidays to all of you wonderful dog lovers! ;)

I am very sorry to hear that you had to let Mucho go, but you did the best for him. While you will always love and miss him, eventually the pain will lessen and you will know when it is time for you to share your life with another dog.

Thanks Linda! It does hurt and the house is just to darn quiet and hairless!! I'm not used to this! and don't want to be used to it. I have a friend that has a wonderful boxer that they got from the Arizona Boxer Rescue (Boxer Luv) and I am going to check out a male boxer named Baxter tomorrow afternoon. I'm just not sure if I want another Rottie, it wouldn't be the same? Thanks again for your words of kindness! These four legged kids just steal our hearts now don't they!

[Birdie'sMom]

I'm sorry for your loss, Mucho'sMom. I think it would be such a great tribute to Mucho to give a home to a dog that needs it - no matter what the breed.
