I'd say be honest. Tell her your feelings and concerns on the matter. Let her know about the adjustments both dogs have made and let her understand what kinds of stress the pups could suffer if their lives were changed so drastically for what may be a terrible change to them. They're sibblings now bonded - away from mom & dad with only themselves as any sort of comfort & familiarity. They've learned to potty train and now adjust to your house, family, and lifestyle. Is separating them now really the best solution?
Tell her about the new litter, and let her know that you'd be more than willing to purchase her puppy of choice from the new batch. See what she says. Tell her to look at all the new babies before she makes her decision. (remember, seeing puppies and not wanting to keep at least one is almost impossible)
I just want to say, though, this has to be done not only for yourself but for the happiness of both pups. What's best for them is best overall. And best of luck! |
