We originally wanted a Greater Swiss, then we wanted a rescue, so we filled out the paperwork to rescue a Greater Swiss but they told us there was nothing available in our area. We also went to the CAHS on Sunday and met a couple of potential rescues but none that would have been a good fit for our other animals. In the end, we decided a puppy was best. My best friend had just bought Booker's brother last week and turned out Booker was the last one left in the litter so we decided to take him.

What a great face. Wade - with the St. Bernard genes - what do you do to avoid early stress on his joints - keep him a little lean, or does the mutt-ness of Booker make that a moot point (i.e., his genes and traditional breed maladies go out the window)?

So my parents informed me Monday that they would be putting down our family dog this week (Today, Wednesday). She is 14 years old and she's got cancer, among other issues right now.
This is the only dog I've had (I'm only 21) and it feels like we're losing a member of our family. It's been tearing me up all week and I just wanted to hear how some of you guys have dealt with stuff like this...

Well, it's done.
Still remember the day we got her. I was in 2nd grade and my brother, sister, and I wanted a dog so badly. Finally convinced our parents to get one for us and we all loved her so much. In all honesty, the dog loved my mom the most. She would wait by the door everyday for my mom to come home.
Obviously, it's been really rough dealing with the thought of her not being there anymore but I think the hardest thing for me has been seeing how much it has affected my mom. My mom and dad were the ones that took her to the vet today and I just know it's eating at her. I've done my best to hold it all together but obviously it's going to take time.
All that said, I wouldn't trade an ounce of this pain if it meant I had to spend one less day with her. Only good memories and I'm sure that in time, I'll be able to cherish those memories.

Our pug died during my senior year in HS, a week before my birthday. I don't think I've ever felt so devastated in my entire life. That dog was my life throughout grade school. We got her when I was two.
Ended up getting two faun colored pugs (my childhood dog was a black pug), and they are pretty crazy. It eased the devastation a bit, but they still aren't my original dog. :(

It's really tough. Just 2 weeks ago my parents just put down the last "Family" dog we had...the last one that was when we were all living at home. I haven't lived in the same house with that dog for 5 years or more but it still sucked.southcampus;2053619; said:
It helps when I've talked to my mom (who took it the worst) to bring up good things that make her laugh...like the first Christmas we had her. She was devastated that she didn't have any presents and my mom had to go wrap up some of her toys so she had something to open. I don't know that I've ever seen a person as excited to get a present as that dog.
