Thanks everybody for your kind wishes ... I sincerely appreciate it.
I've had a lot of dogs (over a lot of years) but this was a tougher loss for me to take than losing Poncho himself. With Poncho, I expected his death. While not pleasant, Poncho stopped producing by 7 years of age, and then faded out on me over a period of 2 years, until finally I made a decision he had faded out far enough. By contrast, Silverback was 10 years old and had never been sick a day in his life. He was still fertile and, up until a week and a half ago, was still looking in phenomenal shape.
Silverback was literally born in my bed, he has has always been vibrant & beaming with health, and he has been my buddy non-stop for basically his entire life.
This was a drastic and unexpected blow to me ... but all anyone can do is pick up the pieces and keep rolling ...

Jack, I sure hate it you had to go through this and handle this situation. I've been in the same exact situation and having been there, I applaud your courage, thoughtfulness and objectivity and agree with every step you took. For anyone who has been through this themselves, I doubt they can read it without a tear.........I couldn't.
Honor the dog............Keep Scratchin!

RIP Siver Back. Jack keep your head up.Some people think we're crazy and say : it's just a dog,But we here understand that there are dogs & there are companions. Companions are your buddies day in and day out,dogs can be replaced(some very easily)companions are irreplaceable and FOREVER missed. I had to put one down 2 months ago.I use dry ice to produce Co2,it put them to sleep & they're gone.It's better for me to put a companion down like that.
