Hey all.....................sorry to bring this to a different level.............but I put my beloved Chow 'Roscoe P. Dawg' down yesterday. He was 11 - almost 12 and until recently led a happy and very healthy long life. I've had him since he was 12 wks old, raised from a pup which is what I've always done with my past dogs.
His heart was just giving out and it was time to do the right thing.........................which by no coincidence.........................always seems the most difficult tasks we can do.
He was by my side always, but off-putting, stubborn and defiant frequently as that is a Chow's nature. His stature and attitude was dominating the yard that he 'was responsible' for. He had moments of complete silliness, tenderness and love.
I just wanted to share this along with 1 of my favorite pics where he ' interrupted' a special evening we were having because he felt left out😉
