Thanks guys. Rocco was one of a kind.

All of our animals are rescues. In 20 years we've taken in more cats, dogs, birds, fish, and snakes than I can remember, but I bet the wife can. Some we've kept, some we've taken out of an unsafe situation temporarily until we could find a better place. We've never bought an animal, they just seem to come to us. Sooner or later someone will show up to keep the couch warm at night.

 

Awesome Man........great way to help with a huge shelter and stray dog problem.

We bought one and adopted the other smaller one .......two great little doggies

 

Yep, that's real cool, Dao. Good for you....

 

I know exactly how ya'll feel about loosing a good dog. We lost our Golden, Tucker in January, sadly we had to make the decision but he lived till almost 14 yrs. His rear legs were a little weak the last few years but he still got around fine. He went downhill quickly, the last week he was with us, he only laid on the floor and would look up at us as if to say..."I can't do this anymore". The last day he didn't get up to go out even once.

He's now waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge

 

Sorry to hear that, knagy...

At least you got a good 14yrs out of him. Goldens are good dogs. I have one of them now... and a Border Collie.

My favorite dog of all time was my last Australian Shepherd, though. Name was registered as Sky King. Perfect dog. (and I've had a few).
He only made it to 8yrs old when I had to scrape him off the pavement and dig a hole. ****in' milk truck.
Chit happens, I suppose. You can't keep a dog like him tied up. They need to run, and swim, and play.

 

i defiinately would come back like a lion..u dont hav to hunt.lol.u once in a while fight to protect your pride n sleep all day sorrounded by you r ladies..ha..

 

Yeah you are right Sam cuz it sure as hell don't work too good as a human
