RIP to lil scrappy.
You should bro.
I always wanted to adopt a rescue from the shelter. Kids were young when I got the rots so they basically grew up together. I was scared if I got a rescue especially an older dog it would bite my children.
I want a pressa, so that gonna be my next dog, prob next summer. After that when my male rot dies I am getting a rescue.
I know how you feel, had to put down two of my three chihuahuas of old age....... both were blind and my female was starting to have organ failures.... the female in Sept of 2022 and a male in March of 2023...... I did the male a disservice by keeping him that long......

I had to put one of mine down back in May. He would've been 17 in December. One of the hardest things I've ever had to do. He was senile, partially blind, and having a hard time getting around without being in constant pain. I didn't want him to suffer anymore. They really become family.
It'll hurt like hell, man, but focus on the good life that you provided her and the amazing times that you shared. That'll get you and those that loved her through the storm.

She walk on 3 legs, she has numerous health issues, she is blind, cancer. She fell in the pool this morn she can't see which way to get out and can barely swim enough to get out even if she could see.
She like amajorfuckup age.
Then she'll be barking about The Dogstrict for the next century.
@DJ - thoughts are with you and your fam'.
I know the feeling. Had to put down our family dog way back in 2000. He was with me through various stages of life - great dog. All the way from elementary school into a few years of college. Passed around 13.5yo. Black lab - severe respiratory issues got him in the end. He was struggling. One of our family friends helped us with the process. He worked for the SPCA & came along with us for the final walk down by a river / creek, and then to have the dog put down and cremated. We then went for a walk at one of his favorite trails later in the year and planted a small tree in his honor and spread his ashes there and near a walking bridge over a creek.
That dog was something. He could run for hours & then go for an ocean or lake swim. Hell ... even had him chasing after the soccer ball during the '94 World Cup as he watched our enthusiasm, lol. He even kicked that thing a few times.

Agreed - if it's the right fit. My brother had to put his dog down last year (numerous health issues). Wanted to wait until the right time to get a dog, and waited a year and got a rescue this year. Said it's been a great decision. Dog has been a gem.
My dad's gf's daughter also has a rescue that is around 12yo. Severely abused dog back in its younger years. Very fearful of people - men especially. She (dad's gf's daughter) now has 2 kids of her own - 4yo daughter and 2yo son. Dog is so great with the kids, and same with us visitors. I've known the dog for about 6 - 7 years ago and hit it off immediately. Dog immediately comes over to you showing affection. And you call it over and it'll circle back quickly throughout the visit to sit with you & back rubs, etc.
I think I've heard the dog half-bark 1 time in those 6 - 7 years ... happy that the dog's in such a good environment.
She is famil bro. She will stay up with my daughters until they go to bed, lay her ass right at the front of the hallway that leads to their bedrooms when they do. I been saucy, came home went and trip over her ass trying to check on the kids, lol. Gonna suck, I am lil tipsy now trying to think about how I am going to explain this to them.
Lot of people I know have rescues. It is always an option for me. I want a pressa, my wife don't want another big dog. We will have to talk about it.
Sad, she sounded like a down-arse bitch....
Bitch would have done 25 standing on her head for me.
I have had other dogs that died, it just didn't impact me like this one. This hit different. I think a lot of it is because that dog never left me ever. Shit how many times I passed out in my backyard after pool parties, wake up and that bitch was right there.
I flew in to ft lauderdale yesterday from key west, did a couple days of fantasy fest. I am still boat shopping. The smooth sailing comment kinda lifted my spirits !
I like this idea
It's supposedly bad luck if you buy a used boat and change the name.
My last boat was a 19 ft, so I generally never went "outside" or out in to the ocean, I fished flats and the back bays.
The boat i am looking to purchase is going to be at least 28 feet with twin motors, so if I get new and I name it she will be called "Catch me outside"
