We finally had to euthanize our beloved Rottweiler, who has been on his last legs for about 5 years. He's had a hard time with arthritis, which he was on medication for, and just couldn't hardly stand up on his own anymore. This dog truly has been a part of the family and has been at my side for 13 wonderful years. A close friend gave him to me at 8 weeks old when I was a sophomore in college.
He loved playing in the ocean and digging in the sand:
He has traveled with us through 14 states and moved end-to-end across the United States twice.
He watched TV and took naps with us:
He liked to carry his favorite rocks with him to play fetch in the San Diego desert bush:
He has welcomed all three of our babies home:
He was a beautiful dog and we will miss him very, very much. We hope to spread his ashes on Galveston's West Beach where he first found his love of frolicking in the waves and chasing seagulls.

Oh Jenny I am soooooo sorry! I know it's like you have lost your first born ~ putting Scooter down was the hardest thing I have ever had to do so I definitely feel your pain ~ they both lived very nice, well pampered lives and are up in doggie heaven reuniting as best friends again! I'm sure Scooter was at the gate waiting for him and has shown him the ropes ~ and while this doesn't make you feel any better at this point in time, he is in a better place now. Love you.
I'm sorry! Like everyone else I've got my own story of the dog we loved that is gone. It's so sad, makes you scared to get another pet because you know it will come to this again. But I bet as sad as you are, those 13 years were worth it.
