Her sister is still alive, but she has been very depressed the last couple of days, they have been together since they were born. I think it will be a while before I get another :(

[riverbound]

that's muchos anos' for a rottie brother .... love the breed .... grab yourself another one (puppy) and start the healing process ....
I know we were lucky getting that long with her...... Im not ready for another one yet and dont have the yard for one (thats why they lived with the ex wife)

[PBOCOP]

I'm a dog freak. That really sucks. What put her down at 9 ? Cancer ?
Feel so bad for you. Good luck with the healing process.

Deepest Sympathies...

[Mattman]

Sux to hear that. Had to put one of my female rotties down 2 months ago. Only 6 years old (cancer). You can tell her sister is still wondering why her best friend from birth isn't coming home. Best dogs I've ever had!!!

[Mrs.Racer277]

Sorry for your lose. Very sad.

Sorry to hear this. I had a Rottie at one time and like everyone else says, they are the best dogs. I had to give her back to the breeder that I bought her from when she was 6 because she killed one of our sheep (sorry Lucky) and a couple goats. Once they do that, you can't turn them around. She was great with people, kids, other dogs too just not farm animals. Anyway, the lady I bought her from gave her to another breeder in Ontario who later that year got busted for animal cuelty. All her Rotties were at the pound in Pomona except Scarlett and were held as evidence her the case but My dog wasn't there. She said the dog had died. I feel guilty every day because I don't know what she went through and thought I was doing the right thing. It still angers me when I think about it.

[Mrs. casean]

So sorry to hear you had to put her down :( I love Rotts! She's in doggy heaven now w/ all the rest of the happy dogs chewing on bones and playing :D Although they are "just dogs" to some, they are apart of the family and hard to let go. :(

[syke-o]

sorry to hear that... dogs become sucha part of your family its unbelievable how much you miss them when they are gone...:(

[andy01]

Sorry to hear that Bill, dogs for some are like kids. I know my dog is like my son and the day he goes will be very hard.

Bill, I wish I could find the words to make you feel better, but ultimately I know what it's like to lose a dog. Let me know if you want to go out for beers and talk.

[River Diva]

Bill I'm so sorry. I know I already said that but it makes me sad when people lose their doggies:( I started crying last night because I knew what just happened to you and we're waiting on test results for Neva. I just couldn't imagine.

[OGShocker]

Sorry for your loss, Bill.

[charitycase]

Sorry for your loss.I know what your feeling Buddy.I had to put both of mine down last year.Ages 11 & 13.At least she isn't in pain.Again,sorry RB

[kphayes]

Right when I opened the thread I wished I hadn't. Sorry bro! I dred the day my little lady rot goes down.
Sorry again for your loss!
RIP Ruby!

[Squeezing Spectra]

Sorry Bill :(

[Run_em_Hard]

Sorry about the news...always a sad thing.

[IN2-IN2MX]

I'm very sorry to hear about your dog. :(

[cheezpanel]

I'm really sorry for your loss...I know what you're going through. I had to put my 4 yr old down several years ago (cancer). It was awful. Four days before Xmas this year my 8 yr old lab died (suddenly and unexpectedly...the vet thinks she had a ruptured tumor on one of her organs). I've got a 10 yr old female Rott who recently has been having some issues. She's whining a bit when she gets up and we think it's her neck. Put her on an anti inflammatory drug and that has helped, but old age is creeping up on her and every time I think about it it kills me. We recently adopted a 7 yr old yellow lab as a companion for her. Again...sorry for your loss.

RIP Ruby
HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR
My best friend closed his eyes last
night, As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through
my head, As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

That sucks Bill. :(
I don't even want to think about it.
