Feeling a little down

Well, I had to make a call today about finding a new home for one of our dogs.  We've had him since he was a puppy but he is on and off aggressive towards Ethan, and I just don't want anything *bad* to happen to either one of them.  (He hasn't bitten him...but growls and has snapped in Ethan's direction, as well as ours.)  I'm hoping the lady I called (I left a message) will know of someone who will take him for us.  I really don't want to have to take him to a shelter. 


Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. *sigh*

Sorry to hear this hon ..
However you are doing the right thing for everyone.
Moreso with a new baby coming into your home as well.
Before you might have to take him to a shelter .. place an ad.
Let us know how things work out :)

Amber,
I know it took a lot of courage for you to make that call. You're doing the right thing. We had to find a new home for our dog after my DD was born and we found out she was allergic. We placed an ad in our church bulletin and the couple that took our dog truely loved him as much as we did. It worked out for the best. They didn't know if they were 'dog people' and discovered that they definitely were. We would get regular reports from them on how 'Clifford' was doing and they even called us when they found out he had cancer and needed to be put down. I hope that your situation works out as well as ours did. We agonized and felt tremendous guilt over the thought of giving him away, but it all worked out. I have hope for you that your dog will find an equally suitable home.

Hang in there and stay strong.

Mary

Our pets really become one of the family so I know how hard it is to make a decision like this.
