Yes I have, we just can't afford it. And I just can't pass the fact that after all the training he may not overcome this and I couldn't forgive myself if he ended up hurting or killing someone. I know that is pretty extreme, but look what he did, he viciously attacked his little sister who he loved so very much. Season, I do appreciate your concern you are showing for my Odin, I really do but I don't think he can overcome this. Believe me, I have called trainers/behaviorist, people working with rescues and my family vet and they all say euthanizing is the way to go. My vet who is not for euthanizing and how I know this is when I had Tyson, my pit/rot mix she was hesitant about the idea of euthanizing, not jumping into it and wanting to ensure it was the right thing for him. I went through a lot of tests but his cushings was just too out of control. He was 10 when I put him to sleep, and my vet was hesitant, she is not for the procedure and will not recommend it. She even refused to euthanize a dogs, she does not just throw that idea out there if she doesn't really feel it necessary.
This may be a stupid question but do you think a trainer who you suggested would take Odin to rehab if he was turned over to them?OdinBB- Would you even consider something like this?
Season, please don't take this the wrong way when I ask you this because there is no ill feelings behind it and not looking to offend you. Do you have children of your own? I cannot and will not chance him around my children again. I play back what happened and it truly scares me, he was so vicious and was trying hard to hurt my baby. I just can't risk it, because I also have to remind myself that if I didn't react the second I did I would be saying goodbye to my little girl. That is not worth it to me. I love my Odin, I truly truly do but I love my children more. And yes I do realize I have failed Odin, and it hurts my heart more then you can imagine but I cannot control the past, I can only control what is in front of me. My decision now is not only going to affect my family but it could potentially affect someone else's. I cannot risk someone else's child I just can't. I really don't take this decision lightly, and I'm def not jumping into anything but I know what needs to be done. It may not be what you or a lot of people want to hear but I am sorry you weren't there, you can't really understand what happened, no one but my children, Odin, and I. Again, I do appreciate your concern for my boy I really do, but I do not think he can be to the point where he could be trusted, he may be able to be managed, but the way he would have to be managed is no life to live. There would be very little to hardly no human contact at all, it would be so lonely.
I don't know, I would have to really think about it, but I would def not let him back in my home.
Ok Teodora, he did not maul/kill that is correct but you weren't there and don't pass judgment like you were. I am not assuming anything, he viciously attacked my little girl and he continued to try when I pulled him off. He would have seriously hurt her if not killed her if I wasn't there. I am NOT overreacting and I have tried to give him to trainers and they wouldn't take him, they said that he should be put down.
