Perhaps the one dated just this month when I updated everyone on the 'potty training nightmares'. Savannah tho I DO love her, was a tyrant, but she was MY tyrant! All the things about them that you once found to be so annoying you find hard to get past once they aren't there. I don't expect anyone to understand another's frustrations. In July, I was living in squaller because having my babies with me meant more to me than NOT having them. It's also true that potty training them was a complete and utter nightmare! At the time, I was working the worst shift 4:30p-12:30am. It would take me 30 mins to get to work and 30 mins home. Due to having the dogs with me, the only place I could find to live was way in the middle of no where, crossing a toll booth both ways!!! I had to pay twice the amount of rent for the place AND pay toll everyday! By the time I would get home...at 1am, I would walk in the front door to the smell of pee and poop. Open Savannah's crate and find that she had gone all over it and laid in it. Now I had to get all of them outside, come back in give her a bath, put her bedding in the washer and clean the crate. This happened EVERY night. She refused to be penned up all night. She would whine and bark all night long. Having not gone to bed until 2:30-3am I would walk them all once more before going to bed. I'd be back up by 8am-9am and find she had used my living room once more as her potty pad. You have NO IDEA what I have had to go through. I, as I've said, trained and retrained and never had any success with her. I'm sorry if everyone thinks that one night of utter FRUSTRATION constitutes me as some ogre that hates her animals. I've proven that I didn't and don't by the anguish that I've been enduring over separating from her. Did I have her put to sleep or is she in a happy home??????????????? Wow! I'm amazed that you even threw that in my face! After that post and right after that post, I ended up taking her with me to allow her to use my new home as her potty pad and she lived here happily for yet another 5 months! Once my job ended in August I was able to spend more time with her and got her where she needed to be on that. My giving her up had not ONE thing to do with my frustration that night. Does anyone else want to pass judgement now? No one on this forum has EVER been frustrated??
It sounds to me like your financial is still not good. But you said the two you have left also have health issues that you cannot afford. Have you taken either of those two in to the vet yet?

You did what WAS and still IS best for her.

If I were the one that took her in, I would not give her back to you either.

I have compassion for your situation, but for you to hassle this woman about getting her back, that is where I draw the line with my compassion.
