Oh rem&silkmom - I can feel and hear your fustration. And I agree, sometimes, there just is not a "fit". I think you have acted responsibly in contacting the breeder and kudos to the breeder for also acting responsibly.
I know how important the "potty issue" can be and it can "break" a relationship between owner and pet.
I know how tired and fustrated I was after several months of vigilance and consistency. I can only imagine 8 months of it! (well no I can't imagine it, but I assure you I would be at my breaking point too!)
It's ok to "let go" of Silk. Sometimes, that is the better decision for both of you, because, unhappiness in the relationship can only breed discontent and that's not fair to either of you. Not to mention, life is too short to live that way.
I know it's not a decision you have come to lightly, and no one should judge you on it. It just is what it is! |
