Thanks everyone...I just noticed all the hits on my blog coming from PetTalk...took me a bit to remember my password here!
Mac & Ozzy killed Bandit on Friday night in an unprovoked, extremely violent predatory attack. Bandit never had a chance. He was dead before we could get across the yard. It was very, very different from a "regular" dog fight. We've had plenty of those over the years. Bandit was one of our original pack. It's very weird to not hear him wooing in the yard.
After consulting with our vet, we had Mac & Ozzy euthanized on Saturday afternoon. Psychologically they were not healthy dogs; we could never trust them again and we had to protect the remaining pack. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but we gave them the peaceful death they denied Bandit. Despite what they did, we loved Mac & Ozzy for 7 years. They were part of our family and we will miss them.
3 dogs gone in 19 hours....sad doesn't begin to cover it. We've lost six canine friends in the last five months. Sleet & Goldie in October, Founder in late January and now these three. We are shattered.
