On Friday, October 14, 2011, Snug was put to rest by his veterinarian. Snug snapped on Tuesday evening in the kitchen and seriously injured Samantha with a deep bite in her elbow that could have been a deep bite in her neck or face. Samantha's wound is healing really well.
Snug was always an unpredictable dog. His unpredictability made him a dangerous dog. It was part of his DNA. We couldn't do anything about it. Throughout his life, I did everything I could to keep him out of situations where he might attack people as well as other dogs. For the last two and a half years, after he bit a friend at our front door, until last Tuesday, I was successful, essentially protecting Snug from himself and others.
I've been distraught. Snug and I had a deep bond, a deep friendship, unique from any relationship I've ever had. With me, in our life together, he was sweet, tender, animated, and comforting.
I love him dearly.
I hated letting him go.
It tore me up.
I'm going to post more remembrances and thoughts and feelings about Snug here in my blog as time goes along.

Bill, I am SO sorry to hear about Snug! I know you said he was a little unpredictable, but he was sure a good boy the day I saw him. I wish I could say something to make it easier, but I know there are no words. God Bless!
