Wednesday was a very sad day at our house. We had to make the difficult decision to put our puppy down (he was only 1 1/2). He had really bad hips and each day he seemed to get worse with walking, laying down, getting up. He didnt seem to be in pain, but it was noticibly worse. We took him to the vet today, and while expensive hip replacement surgery was mentioned, the vet recommended putting him down since it would continue to get worse, plus the unpredictibility of a hurting puppy mixed with 3 hyper kids--could put the dog and the kids at risk for more injury.

We adopted Percy on August 22, 2005 after we discovered that his mom had been hit & killed by a car when he & the other 9 puppies were just 10 days old. The family who had these puppies bottle fed them all until they were able to lap puppy formula from a bowl. When we first brought him home, he was so tiny and lived in a box. We fed him a bottle for a couple of days, then he figured out how to drink from a bowl & eat soft puppy food--he was the messiest eater! Even after he got a little older and could eat without spilling, he slurped up his water so fast--the floor was always soaked!

Not too long after Percy’s first birthday, we found out that he had severe hip dysplasia. After several months of his health getting worse, we had to make a very hard decision.

Today, Percy joined Grandpa in Heaven.

We’ll miss you Percy! You will always be part of our Family!
