I read this and wasn't going to make any comments, then I started thinking. Everyone deserves to have the perfect dog just once in a lifetime. Most all of the dogs we have had have been lost and found their way to my yard. It's hard to give a dog a meal and send him on his way.
We had "inherited" a half heeler half shepherd of some kind from my wife's nephew. Solid black and a pretty good dog. Stayed outside all the time until she started getting older. She was about 14 years old when a neighbor dog jumped the fence and all at once we had an old dog that was going to have pups. Didn't know what to do. She had never had a litter of pups and we were sure she would die giving birth. She had two, one still born and the other she wouldn't take care of, didn't know what to do with this "thing". I gave him his first bath and we had to bottle feed the little critter. The momma wanted him, but wouldn't nurse him. He was mostly white with a half mask that was black. He got a name (Beau) and a home for the rest of his life. Never had to house break him. He stayed within ten feet of me any and all the time I was home. I guess I was his daddy because of all the bonding we had early on. As he turned four years old he developed kidney problems and, like one of the other posters, we had to have him put to sleep, with me holding his head and his paw. I do think that is the hardest thing I have ever done. I'll never be that close to another animal again. Not intentionally, I just don't see how that could happen.
I know this is long but there is no way to make it short.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
