It was a bittersweet 4th of July for me, since my other dog died. :(
About two-and-a-half years ago, as I once posted on this board shortly after that, I lost my second dog, Pito, shortly before Christmas of 2010. And now, my first dog, Copper, a German Shepherd/Chow-Chow hybrid, has died as well. I've had him for 18 years, since we got him in 1994, and by this time, having lived for so long, he was really weak; he had difficutly walking and hearing. My mother decided to have him euthanized on Tuesday. Personally, I was against the decision of using euthanasia on him, and I would have liked to see him make it to 20, but since he was so weak, my mother decided to take him to the animal hospital to be euthanized. I'll always cherish the fun memories I've had of him, as I grew up with him in the house, and I really miss him now, but at least he's in a better place now. :(
