It sounds like you love this little one so very much. Would it be possible for you to keep her? I think, though, if you did decide to sell her that she would bond with someone else. Given her shy personality it might take a little time, but she'd grow to love a new mommy.
I truly don't envy you this decision. I can't imagine trying to decide what to do, but go with your heart and go with what your gut is telling you to do. Our gut instinct usually isn't wrong.
Wishing you all the best. |
Thanks so much, I will try the bark on command one more time and see if it will help alleviate some of her high pitch barking. I do love her, more than anyone could know. She is so funny, matter of fact she is the funniest dog we've ever had. Never a dull moment with her making us laugh. The whole plan was, since she was so tiny, was to have her spayed and then let her go to a new home. Then we all fell head over heals for her. It's so hard trying to do the right thing. I'm also afraid if we let her go, I'll regret it so much.
