    I like to hope they will all be waiting for me to eventually join them.
    Sounds like he was a blessed to have found an "owner" like you as you were to have a dog like him.

    Thanks very much for your kind words guys, it means a lot to me.
    Since I'm on my own, it has left quite a gap in my life but I'm trying to keep busy.

    Every dog owner feels for ya, Rugerman. Dogs do for you what no human can, so they are always valued and greatly missed. Concentrate on the good times you had with him. I had to put down a long time 4 legged mate who saved my life a few weeks earlier. Sh.t that was hard. But his photo is up on my office wall and he will never be forgotten.
    Kia kaha bro. We've all got your back.

    A friend of mine has had several GSP's for hunting.

    His first and best passed away, and was replaced with a bitch that would trail bark and was no use.

    But he had young children, she had a lovely nature, and was perfect for them to grow up with.

    All things considered, her true gift was friendship, not a role as a working dog.

    Some of the idiots of the dog world have a valuable role that way.

    Thanks guys
    A guy at work says he wants to come back as one of my dogs, since he knows what sort of money and effort I put into them.
    I'm luckily in a position where I can spend what it takes to get them right if it's possible to get them right again. Unfortunately with Rocky there was a whole bunch of things all working together to fuck him up, and given his age and underlying diabetes, he just ran out of time

    Always a hard call to make for a mate.
    But it sounds like you looked out for him and have tried your best for him. You have made the right call, hard one as it is. RIP,
