What time is the appt Jess?

There is no set time. I just have to show up with him.

I wish I could just wake up & everything will be ok.

I know you don't believe this now, but it will be ok, someday. You have a lot on your plate right now. Life isn't easy, and it isn't a dress rehearsal, but it can be a wonderful thing.

I am praying that soon your dark place will be filled with much light and a happier heart. Candles are lit here for all of those that is affecting, in your home and here on PT.

This is a very sad situation. I really don't know what to say. Smokey bit my sister (provoked..she tried to take a bone from him and we all knew he was food aggressive) bad enough that she had to have plastic surgery on her nose. He bit other family members numerous times (none very bad) after that as well, he could not be groomed without a muzzle the entire time when he was older. But we had him years (since he was a pup) before that occurred, we were advised to have him PTS because of it but we did not. I would not classify his bites as "attacks." I really don't know what I would do if I had a dog for only a few weeks and they attacked a human unprovoked. Unless you are in that situation I don't think it is really fair to judge. I've groomed dogs long enough to say that a small dog is very capable of leaving a 4 inch gash.

As someone who has had to make the same decision...i sympathize with you

There is a definate difference between a bite and an attack...been bit a few times..i can handle that....but when your attacked....believe me you'll never ever forget it

Mr. Biggles will be at the bridge, feeling young and alert, with no fear or pain.

Agree 100%

So...any update??? Is mr. Biggles at the Rainow Bridge??

This whole situation makes me sick. I'm curious what your intention was in posting this thread?

1) It sounds as if you have way too much going on in your life to have pets right now.

2) It seems as if Bear and Mr. Biggles' are too much dog for you to handle. They should have gone to an owner with more aggression experience.

3) If Chad's health is so unstable with Flesh eating, why have pets in the first place?

4) Again, if he is at risk for flesh eating, why has he not sought medical attention for the bite?

I saw a program once where a dog would only attack a certain person. Come to find out the person approached the dog in a unique way that triggered the dog. A behavior therapist was able to pick up on that and correct the problem.

I'm very saddened that you aren't/weren't willing to try any of the suggestions here. You made up your mind to put Mr. Biggles to sleep despite some very good advice.

What bothers me the most is that while you've been quick to respond to other posts in the thread, you won't update on whether Mr. Biggles is at the bridge or not, yet you posted a thread about Bear this morning not even mentioning or seeming the least bit saddened that Mr. Biggles life was ended (if that has indeed happened).

IMO, Mr. Biggles is better off at the bridge than to stay living with you. I'm sorry for sounding terribly harsh, but I just don't feel enough was to prevent this from happening.

Please understand that I know some dogs cannot be saved and must be PTS, but I'm failing to see how a 12 pound dog can do so much damage and can't be helped.

Godspeed to the bridge Mr. Biggles.

AGREED,

Mr. Biggles is not at the bridge yet.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm not going to judge your decision, and hope Chad recovers. My brother adores dogs and has owned at least 5 large breeds, but I swear everytime he walks past a small dog they bite him. thankfully no one ever had their dog put down because of it. Maybe Mr. Biggles just needs to be in a male-free home. The dogs that have bitten my brother all had issues with men.
