Marsha, it is a very hard thing to do and I do understand the feeling of loss. I pray your mom takes comfort in the fact that little (OK, big) Rip will live a long and happy life romping jumping around on a farm with folks who will love him. Best to you and your mom.

Mom has a GSD/Husky mix named Rip. He is very special to her. Her brother was killed in a car wreck on Dec. 5th of 2005 and he left behind two dogs. I brought his two dogs to my house till I could find homes for them. I had no idea that two weeks later, they would be parents. The girl dog delivered a litter of pups under my porch and I didn't even know she was expecting until the kids heard the pups. We found homes for all the pups and the two adults, but mom kept one pup in memory of my uncle. She named the pup Rip, which was my uncle's nick name. Rip is the sweetest dog ever was....not an aggressive bone in his body. But so big and hyper. Everyone was complaining about his jumping on them, ect and truth was, he could easily seriously hurt someone without meaning to. After he jumped on a few people, mom finally chained him up about 6 months ago. Being chained up is no life for a dog. He deserves so much better. So with a heavy heart, tonight we sent Rip to his new home. They have a farm with plenty of room for him to run and no children or elderly for him to jump up on and hurt. The family is really excited. Mom is so heart broken, but she knew it was what was best for Rip. So everyone please send up a prayer for God to comfort my mom tonight....... Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is.
