Titan was a good ole fashioned heinz 57 mutt. He was large, and looked like a brindle irish setter. He was probably 110 pounds, but he was lean, if that gives you any indication of how tall he was.
Thank you all for your condolences. The last few days have been tough. My husband is ready to start looking for another dog. That was his best buddy. I think it will do him some good. He wants a weimaraner, which we have talked about for years. But between Titan and our cats, and the fosters I’ve had in and out of our home over the years, we just didn’t feel like we had time for a puppy, especially a breed with the energy of a weimaraner. So maybe now is a good time to start looking into our options. This will be the first dog I’ve ever had that wasn’t a rescue, but my husband wants to purchase a field bred weimy that he can train to hunt with him. Although, if I had *MY* way, I’d get one that I could train to do therapy work.. but that’s just me.. hah.
I will always miss my big boy. He was good to me, and there are times in his life that I felt like he was the only friend I had. He taught me a lot as a dog owner. Including, but not limited to, patience and unwaivering trust. My daughter keeps asking where Titan is, but she’s too young to understand that he’s passed away. All she knows is that the dog that used to curl up on the floor with her to watch cartoons before bedtime isn’t there anymore. When she’s older, I’ll show her pictures and explain to her.
awww sweetie,we all feel your loss.How about training the Weimaraner for both jobs?They have a great temperament for a Therapy dog,energetic enough to hunt and smart enough to do both jobs 😉 Maybe the hunting will wear him out and mellow him to then do therapy?Just a thought from the peanut gallery 😆Every act matters.No matter how small💞

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.So sorry about your recent loss 🙁 And having that vet be rude was like rubbing salt in the wound! 😡 We all grieve differently so go with your feelings. [hugs]
I’m sorry to hear about Titan. Bloat is nasty because a lot of times it comes out of nowhere. *Zen hugs*
(100 pounds lean weight? Yikes! My 90# lean one is quite large enough!)
