Actually it wasn;t all that hot
I Am confirming what is believed to be the true means of death later today
It looks more like he was poisonedHe was a very intelligent pup. He was even able to open my front freakin door to get out . This of course landed him and I in trouble a month ago.. And we have been working on getting him in tune with not leaving the yard. Still the last month he only left a few times. And it was in tricking me that he was able to get past the side walk.
I let him out yesterday morning to use the restroom.. He did his usual. And came in. Then I woke up for our day in court. And took him out. I fed the fish int he shed and he was headed around the corner.. I went after him.. I rounded the corner to an empty street... I asked a neighbor that he usually hung with until the last month and she said he just kept goin.. That is when He just vanished... I had to get to court. And when I came back he was home..
Then he was takin out back and I left with the kids for an hour and a half. When I came home I noticed his cable was slack. that's when I go the sinking feeling. Then I seen him. And he was STIFF. I went out and I had no reason at first to believe anything other than in the hour and a half that I was gone.. he had had a stroke.
The more time that passed the more I thought and the more I went back to a previous dog I had when I was younger. And that's when I called my wife and she had been thinking the same thing
I will be going to the vet today so I know what happened. But here I sit just came home from work and my door greeter is not here to greet me. I have owned a few dogs of which a couple have lived out til arthritis took them down one reaching almost 17 years A Pit we had all growing up. My dad had picked her up about 5 years before he met us.and I was around 15 when she was put down.
Any way. I have seen poisoned dogs but never heat stroke.. And As I thought every one around here liked Diesel That was a big part in my initial conclusion.But we have had some weird stuff going on the past week .. So Will update later.
I just want my Friend back
That sucks man, my uncles rottweiler died from heat stroke after his wife forgot to get him out of the car 30 minutes later.
Sorry for your loss. I hope for the sake of humanity it was a medical condition/not poisioning. But I know that still doesn't help the loss.
