I must say that I am a little hesitant about
posting this because I don't think I can handle a single I told you so, so I
will only ask that you be kind and compassionate and not take this opportunity
to gloat. This is Denise (of Jerry and Denise, Angus' mom). We just
got back from putting him down. He has been living with a friend of ours
who has an 80 lb 8 mo old German Shepherd who desperately needed a companion to
keep her from eating the siding off of their house when left alone. He has
been there about a month and they have bonded and everybody was happy.
However, today Angus attacked a little girl who visits their home
regularly. They have played together and loved on each other numerous
times since his relocation, but today he jumped her. He did very little
damage but, needless to say, convinced me he must have issues with
children. I could no longer assume that the first incident was an isolated
one. I didn't even allow Jerry the time to voice an opinion. I
decided he needed to be put down and we did it. I am sure that we have
done the right thing even though my heart hurts. We will absolutely be
getting another puppy to love (no more strays) and it is very likely, thanks to
Angus' love and devotion we will likely get a Pyr. So thanks for not using
this painful time to say I told you so, and hope that we will be able to share
future Pyr puppy stories soon.
