You are not a bad mommy at all. You have realized what your limits are, and you know that 2 dogs is past your limit with everything else on your plate. In the end, you are doing it with the best of intentions.....for Reese's happiness.
I recently had to rehome my precious cockatoo of 5 years because her needs changed and I couldn't meet them. There was tension in the house 24x7 and no peace. I tried everything, and eventually came to the conclusion that I couldn't fix it. Giving her up was so very painful, and still is. I miss her a great deal, but I know that I made the right decision and she is happy where she is.
So, know that you will be sad. But take comfort knowing that Reese will be in good hands and in a good home. |
