taffy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Tomorrow my brother has to do the hardest thing, he has to take his 14 yr old staffy Rocky to the vets to be PTS. I am in tears as I write this as he is one of the best dogs I have ever met, he was even giving my 2 year old kisses when we went over tonight to say goodbye He has cancer and unfortunately my brother has no choice, his 7 yr old son came over to say goodbye as well. I hate seeing both of them so devastated and not being able to do anything Goodbye old man, you will definately be missed and remembered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffy Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks TB Rocky is truly my brothers heartdog and a second father to my nephew, once my exsil thought that my nephew was asleep and someone had left both the backdoor and rollerdoor open (I think nephew was just over 3 at this point). He got himself out of bed, out of the house and down the road, the dog followed, he would have been a block away (thankgod he didnt cross any roads) and these people in a car stopped to check on him. Rock wouldnt let them closer than 1 meter to him and herded him home. Scared the living crap out of my brother who had just got home and saw his 3 yr old and his dog walking up the street followed at a distance by 3 strangers He is one dog that I (almost) implicitly trust with my kids, I just cant believe after 5 today he isnt going to be here I have offered to go with him to the vets so my brother isnt alone afterwards but he isnt sure yet. I dont know how to help him, not used to seeing him in tears (from memory this would be the 2nd time I have ever seen him cry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffyluv Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 So sorry. What a heart breaking thing for your brother and his best mate. They really do get into your heart, don't they... Jodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 You just have to let your brother deal with this in his own way - It broke my heart when i held my boy as he left us, But I knew we were doing the right thing. I grieved, but at the same time knew it was for the best. Will be thinking of you at 5 I have asked that my old boy be at the bridge to meet Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
