Never felt like such an asshole...........we had to have Oddy put down yesterday, after refusing to eat and being force-fed just to try and maintain him we took him back to the vet yet again with the intention of getting him put on a drip just to try and get some nutrients into him, after examining him he said that he could feel more lumps in his abdomen that he thought was further inclusions IE the gut becoming malformed and obstructed, he had lost so much weight and was so thin and weak but still tried to please us, the vet said that the only option was to go to a specialist for another opp but didn't hold out a lot of hope that he would make a recovery or not have reoccurrences as he got older, even if he survived the sedation/opp, so we made the heartbreaking decision to let him go and not put him through any more suffering.

I just can't shake the feeling that I have betrayed him by not giving him ever last chance I could, never felt such a guilty cunt before, the wife has hardly stopped crying and to be honest I keep cracking up, don't know how long it going to take me to stop feeling responsible for taking such a young animal's life that only wanted to please....sorry in a very dark place right now.

I agree with some of this, but not all of it.
I do agree that removing your dogs food at will is a great way to ascertain if he/she respects you as the Alpha. But I don't see it as something that needs to be done often.


Rather than this section of the forum just being for posting photos of your pet. Or funny YouTube videos.
How about turning it into a place to share pet training tips? 🙂

My personal experience is that dogs are happiest when their place in the family pack has been established. Them thinking they are in charge. Is just as bad as them thinking they are unworthy.

PS...
I hope you are coming to terms with the loss of Oddy @Tricky Dicky?

Edit...
Some funny YouTube videos can stay 😃

I've had to have three dogs put down over time two older one's and a two year old, it's not a nice place to be, you did alot more than most owners would have done, its like losing a close family member, take care.

My old Labrador was 17, when he just stopped eating and drinking one day. next day he struggled to climb the stairs, so i left him at home, while i went out. When i came back, he was dead in his bed. 10 yrs later, and i still feel guilty for not taking him to the vet, that day. That old boy was never on a lead in his life. He would fuck off out on his own, and come back when he was ready, or i whistled for him. I threw a stick into a pond, when he was a pup, which he swam out and brought back to me. I picked it up, and threw it again. He just cocked his head, and looked at me, as if to say, fuck you, i just went and got that for you, now you've thrown it away again ? From that day on, he never chased a stick, or anything else, except rabbits. The fucker would wait at the bus stop, and jump on when it stopped, then dash upstairs, and sit on a seat at the front. Where he could see which field the rabbits were in. He would then get off at the next stop, and run back to chase them around. He was a proper character, and the best friend i ever had. I miss him almost every day.

A bloke is outside doing the metal detection thing...He's ex forces 23 years in and all camo and such..
I confronted him with an axe wondering who he is like anyone would...
My two German Shepherds see me and go ballistic trying to get to me..I try to ignore them so they take no notice and maybe go chase a pheasant or something...
No use... They know its me and Romi is head through the gate tail wagging and Remi just grabbed a toy trying to get my attention...
Bitch witch I should never of had puppies with drags each one away with deliberate purpose saying in don't look at him..
This happened three times as she deliberately let them out again just to chastise them in front of me...
I'd have never let that happen when I was there...
I've gone soft in my old age and know if I react whatever I do them girls would suffer the consequences of my actions..
Cometh the day girls I swear a day of reckoning 🦆
