| Rehoming Rosie I have gave this alot of thought and teeter back and forth. It is just not working with Rocco and her. He is extremely jealous of her and it is making life miserable for all of us.I'm constanly getting on him and it is making me recent him,and that isn't what I want. Someone had mentioned training for Rocco,honestly I don't think this is something I can afford for awhile. I'm blaming myself, I knew Rocco had issues and had really doubted getting another one for sometime. I have someone who is interested in her and can't make up my mind if she is the right person, If I decide to rehome her I plan to be really picky about who she goes too. This lady works away from home and I would prefer someone who doesn't. I think that would work best with Rosie, and I would feel better about my decision. I know alot of YT members are against rehoming and I was too until this situation.I have to do what I feel is best for all involved and that includes Rosie If I decided to do this I'm sure I will be the bad guy on the block... .Fire away! I'm prepared. |

| I've sd. it before, and I'll say it again... ...sometimes rehoming is the best choice for the owner AND the dog. It doesn't mean that you're being selfish. Sometimes it takes the greater love to give the animal up, in order to give it a life that will (for whatever reason) be better for it. Two of my dogs (one yorkie, one choc. lab) were "rehomed" with us by families who just weren't able to meet their needs. Good luck to you (and to everyone who is too scared to admit that this is a decision they are struggling with!) It happens. People need to deal. (there, I got in a pre-emptive blast for you! lol)

| I was not going to post, but, here I go......I have Miss Gwen who does not get along with two of my other girls, she is brutal to them, and has left them bleeding and scared... I am not rehoming her, what I have been doing is, keeping her away from them using the xpen... I must be carefull because she can leap over the gates too.....That is my choice to do this, it is extra work for me and my husband, but so far its working... I appauled your decision, it is a tough one to make...My husband is home all day and that makes a big difference too.........Keep me posted....... |

| Sometimes you have to love them enough to let them go. So sad but as long as you find her the right home, Rosie will probably be happier and then you and Rocco will feel better too. No one should judge you as we can't know the situation as well as you. It cannot be good for any of you to have this kind of tension. Do what you think is right and I am sure it will be fine.

| rehoming A true, unselfish love for a pet, is "head" love and this type love does what is best for the animal, not our own feelings. "Heart" love can be a selfish type of love, because we use our feelings and most of us try to protect our feelings. At times we need to use "head" love and other times "heart" love... There is nothing wrong in rehoming to a situation that is in our pets best interest. As a breeder I want my pet owners to do what is best for my dogs and sometimes rehoming is the best option..good luck to you. |

| I commend you on your decision to do the "best" thing for everyone and rehome Rosie. Most of the time we let our selfish feelings and fears get in the way of our animal's happiness and you have chosen to do the opposite. Good luck with finding a new/forever home for her! Keep us updated!!!!

| ok i need advise I have someone on here who is offering up their pup, he's 1yrs old she said she wants to rehome him because she has a pickeneese who picks on the yorkie. She said he's not nuetered he's 1yrs old, and he's 5lb and that shed be willing to bring him to us. I sent her a pm asking her if she wouldnt mind signing a paper stating that he is in good health. What other questions should i ask she's willing to come by today to bring him to us. It's actually for my mother in law but i feel like i want to make sure this is done right. Papers she said she has them and will give to us please give me any advice or questions that i should ask.

| I'm in tears right now and I feel as though I have had a ton of lead lifted off my shoulders for talking about this. I'm pretty sure I'm going to rehome her as long as I find her a wonderful home, maybe I will list her here and see if anyone that I would choose would want her.She is really a very sweet loving girl and cute too boot. Thanks every one for your kind comments. |
