Oh no. :( I just saw this thread and now I saw the bad news.
I really wish it had worked out, Cass. You need a pup in your crew!
Where are you going to take him? How is your eye doing?
There's no way you should euthanize Ewok because of that, those ER people obviously just don't understand.

Not sure if you have, but maybe you should read her latest reply.
I'm very sorry to hear this :(. I hope you will be feeling better soon. It's no one's fault and I really can't believe those people were telling you that your pet should be euthanized.
Cass,
You did your best. Don't feel bad about that! You have to think of what is best you and your current furbabies. Labs (from the looks of it, he's got some in him) are pretty hyper dogs and need alot of attention. You gave it your best shot. Things happen for a reason. I know you'll find him a great home. And don't worry, YOUR doggie will come along when the time is right.
Hang in there!
(((((hugs)))))

Thanks Kfamr. I had not seen that before I posted. I only asked
because it was the first time I heard that the pup might not be
staying. Liz.
I can't stop bawling. I am hurting both physically and emotionally, but my heart hurts more than anything. He's gone already. He went to a good friend named Julie. :( She has a Golden and her cats are used to dogs because dogs are always at her house. I didn't expect Ewok to just lunge at me like that, and now he won't go anywhere near me. :( He is terrified of me too, and I didn't even do anything to him. I gave her all of his belongings and she is going to bring him over to visit, or better yet I will go over there.
Lizbud, the plan was for me to take him so that he avoided being thrown onto the freeway or stuck in the pound, but if it worked out we were going to keep him. But obviously things didn't work out. :( I know we bonded, which is why I can't stop crying. I already fell in love with him.
I just got out of the shower and my eye opened up again, lucky me! They wanted to put stitches but couldn't because it was a cat scratch and has a high chance of getting infected. I have drops for my eye and ointment for the wound. I am just stunned Ewok lunged at me! I can't believe it. Dan just said I look like I got beat up, nice.
I don't know if I have the will to try again. Maybe a smaller dog, tiney, but a big dog I just don't think the cats would do well with. I mean Morgan was different, she wasn't a puppy and was just really well behaved. Houdini had no problems, so the only real one who would mind is Ewok, and I don't plan on letting him go any time soon.
His nail actually slit all the way through my lid and scratched my cornea. I can assure you he is in good hands, and someone that has more experience than I do. I may have a lot of experience with small and furries, but when it comes to large and furries I am horrible. I just don't understand. I am not meant to have a dog obviously. Pooka was stolen from our house, then Morgan passed what four months after we got her?! And now this! I LOVE that dog, and this sucks, and I don't know if I can go through this again. I thought I was doing good, but I wasn't.
Here is a pic of my face. He managed to leave four puncture wounds and the rest are scratches. Above my lip is where he bit me, and the other things I think are the scratches. He bit me in my temper too. I know I look like crap, but I was crying a lot, which is why my nose is all red and huge. I also had not plucked my eyebrows and waxed my lip. :o I'm really not this ugly, I swear! But after crying, you don't look the same.
I meant temple (sp?) not temper. And I forgot the picture. I am sorry for the mistakes but I am not in the best mood and can't think.
I wouldn't blame myself, and I wouldn't blame Ewok. I am sure that he just got scared when the pup lunged at him. I have had dogs that I know loved me, and get in the middle of a scrimish and end up getting bitten too. Ewok will get over the fear.
Maybe you should start out with a very tiny puppy that the cats can handle. Grover whoops up on my chihuahuas all the time. LOL. I have to get on to her about getting rough with these little guys.
Maybe things will work out and will be able to get you another puppy.
I hope your eye get better, sounds like you really got it bad. I hope it gets well really fast.

omg Cass!! How horrible!!! I hope your eye is ok.
Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
Cass, I'm sorry about that happening! You are too sweet to be hurt! Poor baby try to help a little puppy and get hurt.
I am sure Ewoke already feels sad that he hurt you.
Goodness what an ordeal! :(
Hope you feel better soon,
Zip
Thanks everyone. :( My eye looks better than it really is. Right now it's still bleeding after I took a shower so I had to put ointment on it to get it to stop oozing. The doctor might want me to go back tomorrow to check it and see if I have a need for oral antibiotics. It was strange when I first looked at my eye because you could see the fat. The first thing the doctor said was "Well you didn't know you had fat in your eyelid huh?", and I was like NO, not until today! My eyelid doesn't hurt as bad as it did, but my actually eyeball is what is giving me trouble.
You know, I really wish this would have worked out. It really pisses me off that something ALWAYS has to happen......ok, not always, but most of the time. He was only here a day and I got so attached to that little boy. I snapped the cutest pic this morning of him asleep on the couch all funny looking. I will have to post it soon. I try to not cry but am still emotional over him. *sigh* Thanks everyone. I really hope you understand this was for the best. I can't risk this happening to me again, I mean I got my cornea scratched! My vision is doubled and I have to put these stupid drops in my eye that leak down to my throat and taste terrible.
Dan made me dinner tonight and that made me feel a bit better. Dylan keeps walking around saying "doggie" and wondering where he is.
You need to take care of your eyes. You may need them!
Cass, You just take on too much angel work! You try to do way too much. I think you do all you can do and more. The little creatures always have Cass going all out for them. But Cass needs to look after Cass sometimes.
I will stop bossing you for now......
:)
Well, my eye is pretty swollen right now. I am waiting for the crying swellness to go down first so I can see how it really looks, and then decide whether or not I have to return to the doctors or not. It feels a lot better today though. My lip still hurts though. But all in all I feel better for the most part. Last night I had to pick blood off my eyelashes because it was clumped onto my eyelashes. I never would have thought a place like your eyelid contained so much blood, but apprently it does!
