a hard decision; rescued a little sick dog

[kdtexas]

Oh, thank you all again; I really miss little Cisco; even though I only had him such a short time. Your reassurance means alot to me; it's actually very comforting to think I may have made the right decision. I will always second guess myself and almost stopped on the way home to see him one last time but thought that would only make it more painful. I just wish all of you could have seen the little fella; he had so much spirit in spite of his medical condition.

I do trust the vet and in situations like this you must go with your gut feeling; right or wrong; I have to live with my decision. It's very hard; but time will heal my hurting heart.

Depending on the severity of the heart murmur, he probably would not have lived that long. We took in a Great Dane puppy with a heart murmur and a whole host of other health problems....he had a good life...but not a very long one(~1 year).

OMGOSH! I am just in tears! I am a #1 chihuahua fan! They are such the sweetest little living creaters I could ever have! I would have took this dog in a HEART beet! about 2 years ago, My neighbors family broght me an adorble chihuahua! I Loved him, but he was just to much to handle, he was HUGE, he was a deer leged chihuahua, and about 12 lbs! He woudl run all over town, I wanted a teacup chihauahua so I had long thoughts, and I decided I woudl find him a home! one day the dog catcher caught him, we told them if they dont find him a home(and a good one too) then we would take him back, they did! He was my dog Echo's Best freindm wich is really weird, is my chihuahua's name is Sisco!

I think EVERYONE/thing, deserves a chance, so if it wer me, i would have gave him a chance, that dosent mean I disagree with you, cause you did what is right, now he will be free of pain, and not have to live in this crazy world!

My favorite book is ''A Good Horse Is Never A Bad Color'' it talkes about how the ugliest horses the snobish horses, the horses that no -one can train, can be good horses, if they can just have a chance! thsi book has taught me, if it dosent get a chance, you will never know! So you will never know if he would have been a good dog, but you do know, he would eventually have alot of pain, so in a way, I commend you for doing that!! I am just kidna blubering, but I just thought that was so intrested, I hope my Sisco, and Echo (and me) can someday meet in Heaven again!

I still regret giving Sisco away! he was the cutest dog ever, And I will NEVER give away a dog AGAIN! its been over a year since this happened, but I still cry when ever i think about it! there is nothing I want more, then my Sisco back!
