About Me :

Costa was my first dog, I had dogs when I lived with my parents, but Costa was MY first dog. I never dreamed I would own a big dog, let alone a Rottweiler. My friends owned rottweilers and when the bitch came into season we decided we wanted one of her pups. I was there when Costa was born and can honestly say some rottiweilers are born without tails! He was the most beautiful little puppy.. He grew to be a big boy, just on 60 kg and he was an absolute joy to have around. He was fantastic with kids and other dogs. I found out a month before his 7th birthday that he had bone cancer, and the specialist offered to amputate his front leg and even suggested chemo/radiation, I will admit I did think about it, but he was in pain by this stage and being such a big dog I didn't think it was fair to put him through that. He went downhill quickly after this, we had just 3 weeks after the diagnosis to say goodbye. The decision to put him to sleep destroyed me. But it truly was the right thing to do. He trusted me to do the right thing. RIP Costa
