Just after christmas 12 years ago, Londonrebel posted a thread up here about 12 Black Lab puppies that had been abandoned at one day old and dumped without their mother in Pets R Us in Romford. She asked if anybody could please adopt one of these puppies.
I'd just moved to Buckhurst Hill with my wife and we agreed to see if we could get one.
I remember going to see the pups, we were warned that there was a possibility that some of the pups wouldn't make it as some had probably not got the mother's clostrium. We chose the fattest one, a bitch, all of the males had already been taken. There were 7 bitches and 5 dogs.
As the weeks went by while we waited, we heard that a kennel infection had started to affect the litter and each wee it was horrible as we heard another puppy had died. In the end 7 died, most of the bitches survived, and luckily so did our Ninja.
She has been our family dog, growing up with both my girls, protecting our house by barking at postmen and delivery drivers.
Over the last few weeks she deteriorated quite rapidly, and was suffering from some sort of attack on her lymphomatic system and we sadly had to put her t sleep this morning.
RIP Ninja, you fucking legend and thank you to Londonrebel (Chrissy). I will say some more prayers for you tonight.
And thanks to WHO.

It is sad to see them like he was the alpha male of the neighborhood. He never poohed in the house and got up to go outside and his front legs buckled and he couldn't move and we lost him that night

Thanks all.
Similar with our 67 - I was having to hold her under her belly when she ate as her backs were so weak, they would shake and she'd keep sitting down. Sad end to such a gentle, powerful dog.

I feel for you mate that is shit news. We had a full liter of 4 One stood out as the domintent male he was mixed breed but had the look and intelligence of a border collie. He used to follow my kids when they played outside and my boy got upset because the dog gave away when he was playing hide a seek. He got sick and deteriorated quickly . We were going to put him to sleep the next morning because he got really weak and couldn't walk and his breathing was really fast but he started choking so I picked him up to help him breath and he died while I was holding him up

So sorry for your loss. I remember the puppy thread well as we were due to have one of the bitches who sadly didn't make it.
For your Ninja to have survived the tough start at all is a miracle, and due in no small part to londonrebel she was lucky enough to become part of your loving family.
Losing your dog is horrible, but she had a good life thanks to Chrissy and your family.

I wish I could say it’s just a fucking dog rios, but these animals become such precious parts of our lives that I crumble into a heap more than I have most humans I have lost such is their presence in my emotional feelings.
Amazing creatures that create a feeling of such loyalty you’ll rarely find elsewhere.
