This post hurts my heart as we have been going through some health things with our dog and when we first talked to the vet, I broke down worrying about losing her. Things seem to be improving but that fear is still there.
Sophie is only 7...I'd do anything to know I would be blessed to have her 14+ years. She has habits that irritate me to no end sometimes but I learned last week that when she's quiet or withdrawn, I'm silently pleading with her to be the little diva that she is. I was so excited when I heard her standing beside me in the kitchen barking for a cookie and while it will annoy me time to time, I will never take it for granted because one day I will be wishing to hear that little bark again.
I don't have much to offer because like was already mentioned, rehoming may stress her out more and you've been given great advice by everyone else. Just please think of all the love she's given you and it's not her fault she wasn't fully housebroken. You've had her her whole life and it breaks my heart for her that you seem to not want her because she is no longer able be the dog you want her to be. |
