I'm sorry to hear that, it's tough losing them for sure. I can't even think about my guys getting sick or old, it'd be devastating. I wish Hemi good health, stop scaring your Mom! I adore rotties, they were my favorite breed growing up (after we lost our awesome German Shepherd, they'll always have a special place in my heart). I was dead set on a rott until I came across the Corso breed who stole my heart! We lost our Pomeranian to liver cancer in January, then worrying we may lose Bronco was heartbreaking. I kept saying at least Ginger was 12, Bronco is 7 months and has even started life yet. Being the tough guy he is, he pulled through and I have a new respect for every second with these guys! I look forward to learning more from Vedi, they really are so unique! Luckily she's highly food motivated!
