I do agree to an extent. In situations such as this it is clearly in the best interest of the li'l Yorkie to go elsewhere. However, generally speaking, I feel most people get rid of the dog when a new baby comes, without even trying to make it work. Oh...doggy snapped at baby, time to go. When in reality what they should be doing is everything in their power to make it a happy situation for everyone, including the dog. There are a great number of trainers and dog behaviorists out there who are all to willing and happy to help work with the pooches in their fear/aggression/confusion over the new skinbaby. People are just lazy....imo.
I'm glad you took this little one in, she really needed to feel loved again, bless her little heart. I DO feel that in this situation it was clearly the right choice to find her a new home. Any longer and who knows what her outcome would have been; I dare not think of it. |
