Ruffles

It's still as raw as if it were yesterday, so your condolences are very appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you everyone. I am trying not to be sad, or dwell on things - his Euthanasia was really, really traumatic, and it's all that I have burned into my mind It's nice to know people know of him.

Thank you guys. It is so very hard today... and now I have to go to work until midnight, at an Emergency Vet clinic. *sigh*. It will be hard to keep it together. I miss him. I didn't want to leave him there at the Vets - I've never felt the desire to take my pet home with me when I've had to make these tough decisions, but I was so close with Loki to taking him home. I don't want to be without him.

Thank you Teebs I'm so heartbroken

I write this with the heaviest of hearts. At 4pm, Loki was set free from this life that caused him so much angst. The world is a little colder, darker and my soul a little dimmer without him by my side. But the brightest and most innocent lights always go out far too soon. People couldn't understand why I refused to give up on his troubled soul, but the connection we have - that is something amazing, and his love for me never faltered. My first Amstaff. He taught me everything I know about dogs, and so much about myself over the last 9 and a bit years. There were definitely some hard lessons learned but I am so incredibly thankful that I was blessed to have Loki in my care. I gave him the absolute best I had to offer, and whilst I know that was never enough, he didn't seem to mind so long as we could sit together in the sun. I feel as though my words are so inadequate to honour such a wonderful, and irreplaceable companion. But my god, I love that dog. "Time has ceased But cherished memories still linger. This is the way of life, and all things We shall meet again You are only sleeping" RIP Handsome man 06.10.2005 - 31.07.2015 You're already so sorely missed

Oh, I only just saw this. I am so sorry for the loss of your handsome man, Anne. RIP Boof

Fantastic news! I hope the wounds are all superficial and he'll be happy and healthy in no time

Try LDH in North Melbourne. He might have been found late last night and taken to AAE Point Cook, who would have to call LDH for collection of strays (stupid law). I hope you find him, best of luck :)

I'm so sorry for your loss, Mala. Indi is such a handsome, regal man. RIP, pain and disease free

About 20kg in my experience... They are very similar in temperament, both great with kids, an American Staffordshire terrier is a lot more dog to handle in terms of size. Try 10kgs difference. No Amstaff should weigh 30+kgs

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss Perse. I loved Dougal, so much. Such a handsome, and wonderful companion he seemed to be. RIP Gorgeous man, chasing rabbits, and teasing dogs over the rainbow bridge.

I'm sorry for your sudden loss Stari. What a gorgeous smile Drake has. RIP Gorgeous Man.

This is looking like my situation too. I'm still training, but I think she's coming in (her seasons have always been irregular, and last one was silent so I just dont know!)

Oh I only just saw this. Like others, he was my first introduction (online) to Aussies. My sincere condolences to you. Another great DOL dog that will be missed RIP Handsome Leo, run free now.

Oh terribly tragic. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story so that others can be aware.

I'm sorry DD, Myrtie is completely adorable, I'm sending you all of our positive thoughts x

Sincere condolences for your loss MW. Sleep easy, Tess. RIP.

Condolences CM. He is so handsome, and although it may be hard to remember the good old days right now, at least you have all of your wonderful photos to look back upon. RIP Chester

Sincere condolences Rozzie. What a grand old dog. RIP.

I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP handsome Bosco

Penny is amazingly beautiful.

This is what happen with Rinse. A few nights before I made the decision she was wandering around the house all night, whimpering. Would come to me like she wants something but she had everything and nothing I did changed this. The night before I took her for her final drive. She lay on the couch with the most vacant look in her eyes, like she was looking at nothing and just whimpering a bit. Hugs to you. It is a very hard time. I know what it's like when you just want someone to say 'yep, now is the time' so you don't have to make the choice and wonder about the 'what if's. I don't have any answers, sorry. But I do know what you're going through

I'm so sorry for your loss He is so handsome, and special. RIP Rockling

Sincere condolences Kirislin RIP Kibah

The fact that they say that a dog with Blue eyes is definitely NOT an APBT, nor could it possibly be an APBT if it's all white, or Merle really does show that they have no clue about anything. This state is a disgrace.
