rip felipe (my poodle)

You know guys you are kind of like family, and as such i like to share with you the good things and the bad things.
Today i had one of those news you do not want to listen.
I was at works and recieved a voice mail of my wife telling me that our dog had been attack and had been killed.
I was shocked, felipe was a poodle and liked a lot to hang in the street alone. You opened the door and he went out to do his things. He was abĺe to go to my parent house by its own (6 blocks from my house) and back i we didn't go to pick him up in 1 day. Everyone in the hood knew him, he wouldn't let anyone touch him. And he was reckless with other dogs no matter the size. He had been attacked twice before this one, last one on the last new years eve.
So i returned home and burried him in the back yard. Waited for the kids to come from school and gave them the bad news. Very sad moment.
He was attacked in the street by a couole of dogs suppodsely from a rugby club 2 blocks away from home...nothing i can do i guess other than to warn the owner to watch for them, next time it could be a kid and thats another story...

Thanks Pete, its my first lost, had been over some from my parent house also. But never this way.
He was very smart and young only 7 yo...

Kap, sorry to hear that. That's tough on everyone, especially the kids.

Interesting how you can let dogs roam down there. Where I grew up, dogs could roam as long as they were registered. Sometimes our dog was gone for a day and we had no idea where he was, but we never worried about him. Everyone in town knew him. He was out all night plenty of times. He developed prostate problems and the Vet told us not to let him out at night anymore, LOL. It's not like that here any more. There are state wide leash laws now. It's tough you lost him, but it sounds like he had a good life.

just saw this Kap...feel so bad for you & the family.


Jo the TN wonder dog is really slowing down and we can see the end coming. These 'pets' are so much a part of our lives.

'Dog"...I still cry when I remember the Christmas night when my Springer Ms. Mindy passed...and that was 2001.

So don't feel bad.
