A few of you know that we had engaged the services of a much respected clinical behaviourist who works for the RSPCA to help us with Sparky's increasingly aggressive reactions. Thankfully none of you have witnessed the most serious and recent episodes, including bites to both of us. After a very long and painful discussion with the behaviourist on Thursday evening we jointly reached the decision that the fairest thing we could do for an apparently very scared and unhappy Sparky was to have him put to sleep this morning. We spent the weekend spoiling him rotten and taking him to special places.
Sparky was a great, obedient and loving dog that we have loved for 5 years, but it has been very upsetting to see him change, rapidly getting worse over the last few months. He proved that we had made the right decision when he managed to give the vet a nasty bite, despite being muzzled and sedated at the time.
RIP Sparky.
The photo shows him after spending Friday afternoon on Ewyas Harold Common, knee deep in the muddiest puddles he could find.
