I had to have Toby euthanized on October 18,2013 because he had a tumor and the he had been so sick and I didn't want him to suffer as long as I let my other Ocherese suffer. Scotty had a stone in his urethra. Our very concerned veterinarian operated to remove the stone and it was sent to Colorado and the report came back that they didn't know what the problem was either. He was fine for two more years and it happened again but the veterinarian couldn't save him this time. He died in March 2008.Scotty was eleven when he died and Toby was 14 years old. I loved them so much and they made a friend of everyone who knew them. They walked two miles a day with me and I took them in the car with me whenever I could so they wouldn't think they were going to the veterinarian or groomer's every time they got into the car. I know I'll get another Ocherese one of these days. They are perfect dogs. Suzanne Zehner Murphy Post A Reply >>>
