Chewy, I need elp on the most important decision ever

[wolfsoul]

i believe that ppl here should support her choice, not make this harder for her...some of the words i read here are very harsh and cruel, and it makes me sad to think how it would be if i had to make an important decision and ask for some advice....im not trying to start anything, but in my experience, the more u try to convince someone of not doing something, the more determined they r to convince u that it needs to be done....and if she says it needs to be done, then im pretty sure it has to be done....no, i dont like hearing about animals being put to sleep, but an unpredictable dog is not a good idea to have around ppl....putting him down while u have a choice is better than being forced to put him down later when he truly harms someone and bad things happen...if this is her choice, then i will support her and give her my condolences
im glad that ppl r trying to help, it is really nice of u...keep giving advice, but if u r going to be critical, im just not going to put up with it

I am sure I can locate some fosters--our PAWS program uses fosters, they may be able to point us in the right direction.

Thanks for all your help. You are such an angel

BUT, I ask you, were you around for the first time we went through this with her? I agree, in principle, that we should be supportive of others decisions...esp., when they are as difficult as this one is. I just don't believe her. If you go back and read the December post, it is the SAME thing all over again. I am not necessarily critical of her decision to put him down, if that is warranted. But, I am critical of someone yanking my chain, time and again.

Emily is doing all in her power to connect Ash and Chewy with the help he needs. If the behaviorist determines, after meeting Chewy, that he cannot be retrained, then that is the time to pts. If there is a chance for life, why not give it to him?

[lovemyshiba]

I sure am trying. Yes I would love to meet with them when they come for the evaluation. My understanding right now is that he will do a free evaluation, and they can go from there. I have not spoken directly to him yet, or to Ashley.
I feel bad that she feels as if she cannot come here anymore.
I realize this is a very hard thing for her, and I know everyone is trying to give her advice, and I am really trying for Chewy's sake. But if I hear from her, and she tells me not to make any calls or anything, I will stop, because Chewy is her dog, and I am butting in enough already.

Agreed totally. But what happened in the first time was Chewy had ahold of Teddy by the throat and my sister was sure he was going to die. After we got Chewy to let him go I came home heard the story and my mom said I HAD TO put him down, its was not my choice we HAD to have him put down. Teddy can not be being attacked like this and what happned if it happened to one of us kids? Well what happened was we endded up moving adn I could either live with my dad or put Chewy to sleep. So I chose to live with my dad. But again Chewy attacked Abbey really bad and he can never be trusted again around people, he is just to dangerouse. Now what happened was I posted on here this tiem and ya'll gave me some choices and I took some of them and am working with them, like the trainers choice and stuff but I'm sorry I'm NOT going to do somethign I'm not completly comfortable with, although now things have once again turned for the better and events are happeneing.

Never I love you to death for doing this for me although there is no need to call because we are going, but if you want to call and confirm we are going, although I have not talked to him yet you may call and atleast confirm I HAVE talked to him.

im sorry, i dont think i read that other post...i will go look back i guess...im just afraid that history will repeat itself from the last forum i went on....i complained a little too much about a problem i was having and then i left for good...i will never know for sure if she is telling the truth, but y even mention it? i just think that if ppl think she is lieing, just say sorry and dont say anything else and ppl will stop replying altogether....if i ever say anything and anyone here thinks im lieing, just please dont reply...i dont know about ash, but im really sensitive to anything like this

Thanx, we will see what he says, hopefully all will be good.

Lets concentrate on the good. Chewy will be evaluated and may have a chance now.

YAAAAAY!

I am not trying to second guess you, I was calling him anyway about my dogs. I did just speak to him, and we talked about my dogs for a while ( I didn't mention a thing about Chewy or anything), and before we hung up, he asked me if I gave his name out to a girl in Williamsport. I told him yes, and he said he is getting back to you and your father very soon. He is going to evaluate Chewy, and he is great!!!!!
I have a meeting with him on Friday, I'll let you know how he is.

One thing I do know, is that he has three GSDs--I can't wait to see them!!!


And I agree with aly, let's focus on the good stuff now.

Ash, I am so sorry to hear about your decision. I know this is a very tough time for you. I will keep you, Chewy, and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
