Thank you all for your kind words!!
Liz, it is a long...sad story and I feel completely responsible for what happened. As some of you know and some do not but will now...I decided to leave me husband..it just wasn't a good marriage and I was tired of being unhappy and left. I went the only place I knew to go which was my Moms and in moving I had to find homes for all my fish, my cats and my dog. I couldn't bring them with me. Well, my sons friend took our dog and was suppose to keep him until I got my own place and could take him back. Well, my son just talked to him the other day and he had let his cousin take him to his house. Now I'm not sure what the dog was he already owned, but apparently they didn't get along and Rufus ended up killing his dog...so the guy took him to the pound and had him put to sleep. I am still finding out all the details, but that is basically what happened. He has always been such a good dog...so this is very hard for me to take in. He was well trained even obeyed hand signals, and I never had an aggression problem with him before. There was no call about "do you care if my cousin takes the dog" there was no call about "I can't keep him any longer" and there was no call about "if you don't do something he is going to be put down". Right now I am just at a loss, I feel completely responsible because I left, I had sent money to my sons friend for food and care for him and it would of been nice if he would of at least let me know what he was doing...but I did leave him behind so it really is my fault.
