I think you did what any Mom and dog lover would do. As you said, you "know"something would happen. You were able to spare your dog having inflicted that kind of harm on someone he loved and able to spare your children the physical pain. Thus, he left in love instead of anger and hurt. They say we treat our animals better than humans. I've seen some die peacefully, and I've seen the effects of dementia and how it turns a peaceful person into a physically violent one, acting in ways they never would have liked. I think the same thing can happen in dogs. As a dog lover /owner myself, I know that my dog would never intentionally do anything to my children. She's highly protective, but if it did happen, I think my dog would freak out as much as I would. The important thing to remember no matter what is the quality of life and that you protected all your children (Ty included) from anguish. My two cents :) Vanessa Hurlbut PanicciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
