Recently had to have a rescue from a kill shelter put down

Sorry to hear. Was it the dog the vet thought may have been part 'pit'?

She had the skull and ear placement that the vet thought might be part pit 1/2 the size of my lab, but weighted 50 pounds....Could give you real dirty looks, but sweet. She sure was not the retriever that she was described to be. :O)..Both of my dogs were old so I had my son and grandson dig a grave last fall, put in a bale of straw and covered with a tarp...it was good to be prepared, in Michigan you cannot dig a grave in the winter..The ice on top of the tarp was 8 inches thick, my grandson was able to burn out the straw with lots of gasoline after I used a sledge hammer to get the ice off....She was put to rest in a blanket and son in law (always prepared) brought bags of top soil as the pile of dirt from the hole was frozen solid...She was put to rest right next to my other dog that had to be put down 9 years ago due to long time renal failure, Teesha was a good girl and got an extra 1 1/2 years by being rescued...
