socks 32,253 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Well the dog game is never easy and that's the second dog in as many weeks that I've had to put to sleep. Tilly ruptured her Achilles tendon over 18 months ago and I've spent a lot of money and time trying to get her back to full fitness but today I had to admit defeat and let her go. She is up there with if not the best dog I've owned. Fiercely loyal easy going and caught masses of amounts of all type of game. she was 110% on everything she did and although I knew by her do or die style that she wouldn't make old bones I didn't think she would go in her prime. RIP Tilly. 13 3 Quote Link to post
