I just watched the "Putty" youtube video - He looks so happy and energetic in it. You should take comfort in knowing that you were able to make him comfortable and that he obviously knew he was loved; I also applaud you taking in a dog that was hard to place - they say that rescue dogs know that they were saved and love their people more because of it. In the first pic that I posted, Glory, is the one in the Santa hat (that isn't looking miserable). We came close to losing her 2 years ago, she had a mass on her spleen that burst and she almost bled out internally, so I've looked at the time we've had with her since then as a gift - it'll be very difficult for me when she does go. For a while I was following a lot of rescue sites on facebook and just making myself miserable but since I'm not allowed to add another dog right now, I decided to support our local rescues in other ways - we are very fortunate in the area I live in that our pet population is manageable - we do bring in dogs from other area's that aren't as lucky, as they'll have a much better chance of finding new homes here, I help support the flights - this has made me feel like I'm doing my (small) part and I'm not as dejected over the dogs across the country that I can't help...Oh and finding the SSHM game has given me another way to waste my time :)
