leegreen 2,197 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sorry to here your news mate. If a vet advises to pts he's not after your money. It's quite often the ones that will offer to give them a bit more time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

General lee 979 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks everyone for the posts feels strange not having him here he was with me all the time I worked him he was a guard dog at night and I took him to work with me I spent more time with him than my wife not sure what I'm going to do next but I've had a very generous offer I'm considering but not rushing anything just see how it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
