Tink was put to sleep today... I am hurt beyond words. She was two years old and so happy and healthy it feels so very wrong. In my heart I know that the reason we did it is right, but I doubt I will ever convince myself of it.
She has severe dog aggression and attacked out little pom mix today.. She injured her badly... She and out GSD have also have several vicious fights.. With our house set up permanent separation is not an option. Already I've caught myself thinking she is next to me, or being paranoid about the doors before realizing there is no reason. We can't risk adopting her out, she would make a lovely fighter, and we are liable. ![]() I'm so sorry, sweetheart, we failed you miserably. |

RIP Tink. You knew her best and if you thought it was the only option then I know that what you did was right.

Rest peacefully Tink.
You didn't fail her, take comfort in the fact that she could have ended up somewhere else, where the days of her life could have ended with her actually in the fight ring or worse. My sympathy to you and Tinks family. |

So sorry to hear about your tough decision and loss of Tink. My family made the same tough decision years ago about our beagle that was a biter so I know a little bit of how you feel. You have my sympathy.

I am so sorry that you had to let Tink go - it sounds like a terrible situation, and however hurtful this decision, it was the most responsible one...Your girl was loved and her issues were not your doing...
my sympathies to you Lee

I am so sorry. It must have been an agonizing decision to make. She was a beautiful girl...
