[Dailydrool] Bounder Floyd ATB 4/1/2013

[Paula Aitken]

Oh this makes me so sad and a little angry. I whispered to him to be a good boy and I would see him the next month, but I guess his poor body betrayed him. Kisses and hugs to you big boy. I don't have much to say about the person who caused him to leave. If she felt about poor old Floyd like I feel about pet snakes or something like that...then I am glad he came to you Wen. As for the dad-person...I hope his decision was worth it. That is all. Run free gorgeous boy :( Buff and puff will not be the same without you .

> Floyd, our 16+ Basset boy is now ATB.  We helped him last night, with the aid of our vet.  Floyd recently had some bladder stones issues, causing obstruction.  We were able to catheterize him and push one back, but it was not long before he was having trouble again.  The options of surgery were not valid options to me due to his age.  So, we let this sweet big guy go to be with his Bounder siblings. 
> Floyd was given to me by his owner, as the wife did not want their toddler crawling in dog hair.  I was told he liked being in the yard,  but we never saw him liking to be in the yard.  I think the wife made him stay outside and the owner tried to rationalize it this way.   Floyd, in our opinion, never seemed to get over being dumped by the owner.  He never did really bounce back and be happy.   I think he accepted his being with us, but not sure he was ever happy, and that makes me sad for him and really angry at his father for not having the courage to tell his wife Floyd was a part of their family.

> I am sure his father will see the post on FB I just did, and email me crying.   He has contacted me several times and I have never said how I really felt Floyd was doing, being sad and all.  I know it broke the guys heart, he was sobbing when I left with Floyd, almost a year ago,  but damn it,  he should have stood up for Floyd.    I said back then, to my friend who went with me to get him,  I give that couple 5 years,  and then they will be divorced.   If I were in his place,  no amount of sex, oh honey,  would EVER make me forget the ultimatum that was put there…..and yes, he did have an ultimatum.  I am sure he is disgusted with himself for making the decision too.  I would say he just sold his soul to the Bitch.
