Thank you all for the advice. It was difficult to bring this up as I know people's thoughts on re-homing a pet. I'm the same way, I choose a pet for life. My own mother (who owns a yorkie) has been giving me a really hard time about this thought as well.
I really am not doing this for selfish reasons, I want this to be because he deserves a better home, with more attention and love and care. I'm getting ready to start traveling more often for my photography business, and I've never put him in day care, I think that would really upset him, and I always feel bad leaving him with a house sitter. Such a catch 22.
Also - I wouldn't just give him to anyone. I would absolutely make sure it was the BEST fit and situation for him to be very happy.
