Sorry mate.

Great name. Good looking doggie.

Dude, I'm so sorry. I just had to put down my cat 2 months ago, so I know how you're feeling. Had him for 15 years. Hey, I'm sure she had a great life filled with happy puppy moments, walks by the ocean, many a stick/toy fetched, etc. She was a good dog.

She was a goofy, awkward, stubborn dog with the best personality. She was also racist for some reason, but I never held that against her...

My heart goes out to you. I wish I could have a dog, but because of my living conditions (apartment) and my work hours, it seems cruel. I live vicariously through all my friends who have them and it is a great loss when one of them passes away. It is good to grieve though, shows that she was a member of the family and not just a "pet."

Sorry RS. **hugs**

Why are dogs so racist?

I feel your pain my friend .. lost mine last Christmas and still think of her every day.
Very sorry for your loss.

Why are dogs so racist?

"Legend" has it these dogs were bred then brought to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and used as hunting dogs. Supposedly, lion hunting dogs. Well, since hunting for sport was primarily a white person's past time, they were primarily owned by white families. They probably also had used them for protection and quite possibly trained them to be biased based on the color of a possible intruder's skin. Now, I don't know if racism can be bred into an animal, but I do know the amount of alert that dog would have depending on a new person's skin color was noticeable. Of course after introductions, Ella would be keen to that person and only tell jokes about their race when they weren't there.

Animal!

Spell it out for us dumb apes.

She was your pup?

(I'm guessing yes, but the...name threw me off)

I've got a racist labrador, myself. I don't know what he'll do if he ever figures out that he's black.

Condolences on your loss.
