Poor Ralph has been ailing recently. Wife just yelled to me from the other room and when I ran in Ralph was having convulsions, foaming at the mouth and couldn't stand up. Blind, couldn't see and didn't respond so either stroke or brain embolism. I carried her out back and got the 45lc Blackhawk and that was that. Didn't like it one bit but I won't see any animal suffer.
Ralph was a great dog. She showed up out of the blue the year after we bought the house and stayed. Fully trained, never barked, didn't mess in the house. Just a good dog. Wife pretty broken up. 12yrs, 12 good years.
Sucks
