I read this and wasn't going to make any comments, then I started thinking. Everyone deserves to have the perfect dog just once in a lifetime. Most all of the dogs we have had have been lost and found their way to my yard. It's hard to give a dog a meal and send him on his way.
We had "inherited" a half heeler half shepherd of some kind from my wife's nephew. Solid black and a pretty good dog. Stayed outside all the time until she started getting older. She was about 14 years old when a neighbor dog jumped the fence and all at once we had an old dog that was going to have pups. Didn't know what to do. She had never had a litter of pups and we were sure she would die giving birth. She had two, one still born and the other she wouldn't take care of, didn't know what to do with this "thing". I gave him his first bath and we had to bottle feed the little critter. The momma wanted him, but wouldn't nurse him. He was mostly white with a half mask that was black. He got a name (Beau) and a home for the rest of his life. Never had to house break him. He stayed within ten feet of me any and all the time I was home. I guess I was his daddy because of all the bonding we had early on. As he turned four years old he developed kidney problems and, like one of the other posters, we had to have him put to sleep, with me holding his head and his paw. I do think that is the hardest thing I have ever done. I'll never be that close to another animal again. Not intentionally, I just don't see how that could happen.
I know this is long but there is no way to make it short.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
