[Kizzys Mom]

I for one understand your dilema. Several years ago hubby bought me a peekapoo for our anniversary. We both worked but we did live in a 2 story house with 10 rooms and it was way too big for us actually so it isnt the apt thing I would even worry about. Its the leaving the puppy alone for so many hours with no attn like we had to do. I had 2 girls that cleaned my house once a week for me but once a week just wasnt enough for the puppy to have someone in the house for a few hours to me. One of the girls had a son 7 yrs old and she would bring him over sometimes when he was out of school, while they cleaned. Well he fell in love with Gizmo. Not too long after, I came down with the flu and needless to say, I was in bed for pretty much of that week and so gizmo was still actually left alone and I would hear him crying while I was in bed and couldnt take care or him and I felt so sorry for him, It broke my heart to hear him crying and I started wondering if he did that all day when I was at work, so I gave him to her little boy. She was related to us and kept me informed and he was such a happy dog and her son was her only child and gizmo slept with him at night and they took him everywhere they went that was within reason. I was really glad I gave him up later for his benefit. He had a much better life. but I did love him even tho I only had him for a few months. I think the earlier they get use to a new home the better, than waiting for the dog to get sooooooooo attached to your family then have to go to another family. goodluck with whatever decision you make and I do understand and I realize it is hard either way for you and the pup for a while. But things will get better. Now I dont work so I have plenty of time for Kizzy. So sometimes things we have to do even tho it breaks our heart works out in the end.
