I'm so upset right now. I had made the decision to find another home for my pomeranian for a few logical reasons. For one, I could never get him completely house-trained and I was so sick of cleaning up little piddle puddles. I just felt that with two kids under two that he was adding extra stress by chewing everything up - including digging in the toy box and chewing up the baby's and Noah's toys even though he had perfectly good chew toys - and peeing all over the house. Yesterday he chewed through my laptop computer charging cable and that was the final straw. It was an $80 cord that we had to replace because we need the computer. So I put out an ad to find him a new home and I talked to a few people and some people came by today and I gave him to them.

They were good people. They have raised pomeranians before and they loved him. Well they called a bit ago and said that he had run off and they can't find him. What happened was the woman had taken him on a walk and he wiggled off of his leash and ran off into the woods. So I went out to their home and helped look for him but no luck. They own, like, 20 acres so he could be anywhere. I had hoped he would come to my voice or something but he didn't. And he's brown so he blends in with the foliage.

I know they didn't do anything wrong, he just wasn't adjusted to them yet since he had only been with them a few hours. But now he's out there lost and it's all my fault! If I hadn't been so quick to find a home for him, or if I just held out and kept him he would be fine. He would be here with me now not lost in the woods. I'm so upset I can't stop crying. I emailed them some pictures of him to make flyers and offered to go back tomorrow if they still can't find him. I just don't know what else to do but kick myself.

Oh, it is not your fault! Please don't kick yourself over this. You made the best decision for your family right now. We recently got rid of our baby Emma. She was a two year old yellow lab and we gave her to my aunt who lives almost three hours away. I think what happened is very, very sad; but it is not your fault at all. Please keep us updated.

Just wanted to echo what everyone else is saying...you made the right choice to find him another home, your first commitment is to your children...and I know that doesn't help much at this moment when the poor pup is lost, but it is not your fault, not at all!
