I am so sorry for your loss. Tink was so well-loved, and she knew it. You had a painful choice to make, but you did what you could for her. Tink was so lucky to have had you on her side. RIP sweet dear Tink.

She was a very pretty girl and you had to make a difficult decision for the sake of all your dogs. She is in your loving memory and she is much happier there. I am very sorry you had to make this decision even though it was the right one.
RIP Tinkerbell.

I'm really sorry about Tink. What an awful decision to have to make. Rest in peace, little Tink.

Please don't think that you failed her. You certainly did not. Try as we might, there are some problems that cannot be fixed. No doubt you saved her from a fate far worse, ending up in a fight ring.
I admire you for the fact that you tried. I also know the agony of having to euthanize a dog that cannot be responsibly adopted. Please know that you are in my thoughts. Keep up the good fight and draw strength from your saves. Peace, Lea

Thank you everyone... It is starting to dawn on me that it was the right thing. She had something wrong.. Bad breeding.. Sparkles was not even doing anything at the time of the attack, Tink rushed into the room and stood over her, when Sparkles went to get into a more defendable stance Tink jumped. My father was there, and actually stuck his hands into Tink's mouth and opened it. Lucky for him she is true to her breed and did not turn on him. Right after any one of these incidents she is immediately back to her normal self, not even stressed over it, like it never happened... That is not usual. I will be branded with Sparkles' screams forever, they were terrible... She needed help and I don't know if she thought she was going to get it with a dog's pack mentality. She is very nearly a senior and she will never go through this again. My 7 year old niece was also there, Tink was her best friend... This really hurt her.
I am just hoping more than anything that these four are running in meadows together... Blue, at under one year, he had to be put down from inbreeding causing him very painful and horrifying seizures. ![]() Tyson... Spent the first decade of his life lugging around chains and being abused and tormented by neighborhood kids. But he lived out his last couple of years in the arms of a young boy, and teaching a pit pup his manners and how to be dignified. ![]() Mo, he lived a long life of 16 years and never knew neglect. It was sad when we put him down, but not unduly so, he could barely walk a straight line anymore. ![]() And of course..
