Well since no one else has posted I will say no not being selfish. Sometimes people do things without even thinking it out first. I did this once with a GS. My kids were little, and we decided we wanted a puppy, GS. We lived on a military base. So it was hard to keep a 80lb dog in a small area, she did live in the house with us, but with 3 kids it became very hard. Everytime my husband left she would jump the fence and take off. Long story short, we gave the dog to a housing worker's father. Two days later we felt like crap, so we asked for her back. He did give her back to us. Well a week later I knew we did the wrong thing she was much happier being able to run and play something that I could not give at that time. We called him back up and she went back to him. The last I heard about 12 years ago, she was happy.
Moral of the story, we considered what the puppy needed not what we needed. |
