I am so sorry to hear about Otto's passing.  I remember him well and I know he was a grand ol' dog.  You are in my thoughts.  Take care. Jared & Regi

I was so sorry to see your post about Otto.  He was one of the first agility dogs that I ever watched on course.  I know he meant a lot to you and he will be missed by many people who knew him.  It just doesn't ever get easier to let one of the kids go, but it sounds as though it was clear to you, that it was time.  Again, I am sorry for your loss.

I remember Otto so well. He was one of the first agility dogs I met when I first started training at Stars and Stripes. It's nice to hear he had such a long life. I'm sure you miss him very much. Wendy V
 
Aww  Terry.  You and Otto were the very first teams I ever saw run. I remember it was at a trial in Pasadena.  I don't think I even had Heart yet.  He was a very cool dog!  We lost Shelby back at the end of December.  She was 15.5.  They both had very good spoiled lives!  Run on Aussies!

I've never met you or Otto but I do understand the feeling of losing a piece of your heart when it's time to let a well-loved dog go.  Hats off to you for taking such good care of him that he lived such a very long and full life.  You made the ultimate tough decision and to pick a "good day" is a testament to your courage and love for him.  You and your family are in my thoughts.

I can't tell you how sorry Scott and I are about Otto - he was such a wonderful dog.  16 years is a wonderful life but not nearly long enough.  He gave us such a wonderful gift in Maverick.  I know he is happy and healthy at the Rainbow Bridge playing with Buddy, Cully, Cody , Devon and all his long lost friends.  They are probably chasing Sneakers around a pasture!  I truly hope we get to see them all again someday.  Tracy & Scott
