I am so sorry to hear this, I know how this must hurt your heart. I really hope you take to heart everything everyone has said and don't be too hard on yourself. I wish that you and Debra find peace in this decision and go on to do great things with other dogs. Big hugs to all of you.

Love for the breed and love for people comes first, regardless of what topic we may choose to disagree on.. I'd never hold back from helping you if I could. I know all to well the pain that comes with losing a dog naturally much less what you've been thru with this.

Keep your dreams strong. Your purposed with strong spirit and will.. if it's one dog at a time 15 years from now it's still ever bit worth it. I totally understand money don't grow on tree's and taking care of 1 dog ain't cheap.



Jadotha and Josh I truly appreciate that both of you posted. I have a feeling that I'm not one of ya'lls favorite poster:) Your truly heartfelt post speaks volumes of who you are. I have come to the conclusion that "real" dog people are some of the finest people you can associate yourself with.

Josh, thank you for the kind words especially regarding rescues. I just can't see myself rescuing on the scale that I had at one time intended to. We are at the time in our life that the kids are grown and could afford to keep 4 dogs. I had really dreamed of bringing in seniors that had lost their people or special need dogs. Maybe after Cane is gone I will reconsider. I would be able to bring in a trainer or behaviorist if we ran into trouble.

Once again I can't stress how much each and every comment has meant to me and Debra. As silly as it may seem, There is just one last thing that I have got to say. Ziva was a beautiful and loving dog. She was not bad or evil In her short life she handled more than what most humans could. Run free my beautiful girl.
