JerseyGirlInOz Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 What a shocking loss, Michelle. I am so, SO sorry. Please be kind to yourself. Having a unpredictable dog is like having a loaded gun in the house, and sometimes you need to do what's best for yourself and the others in your home, human and canine. If all would do the same, why does it hurt so much? Because she was beautiful and special... and you loved her. Quote "Hurricane Sandi" (Baurna to Run).

Fruitycake Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I am so sorry she had to leave you like that. No one knows what was going on with her or why she did it. It could have been anything, and though vets are good they can't eliminate all things that might have been going on in her to cause such a behavior shift. I hope your heart heals soon.

Having a unpredictable dog is like having a loaded gun in the house, and sometimes you need to do what's best for yourself and the others in your home, human and canine. Because she was beautiful and special... and you loved her. Michelle, I have only just found this and on reading through, the reply by JerseyGirl is virtually the answer I was going to write. You loved Lyndsey as a Mother would love her baby, even if she was treated as a dog, and the shock alone of her turning on you like that is great, without the stress and heartbreak of having to make & take that final decision. Sadly, I have to say that i think it WAS the right decision, no matter what the reason for her bad temper she was too big and strong to risk anything like that happening again, possibly with more serious consequences for you or your family. Whilst it will take more than a little while for you to recover from these events I hope that in time you will be able to remember her as the beautiful girl that she was. Thinking of you, Carol.

Thank you and well stated of my grief and feeling of loss. In watching the other dogs since Friday the 25th, the difference in how relaxed everyone is acting is humbling. Strangly enough, my observation of their change in a more relaxed behaviors is helping me to come to grips with the decession. My father told me that while its hard for me to see at the present, its a good thing it as me she jumped into the face and bite, verses someone else, as I would have those factors as well to deal with.

Wishing all of you peace. I am still struggling with that. To put it in 'human words', it feels at times the deepest betrayal mixed in with grief and loss.
