Ok, so I am sure I am going to get bashed on this thread but I need to give it a shot.
Many of you may not remember me because it has been such a while since I was here. So, my son got a Yorkie from Santa last year in 2005. His name was Jake. I also had a 7 year old female. Anyway, Jake was the most lovable dog in the entire world. The problem was that we practically live on a farm. Jake seemed to like to devour the chickens on a daily basis. I would turn both dogs out in the morning and Jasmine (my 7 yr. old female) was the only one that would return back to the door. Jake would hide and stay out all day only for us to come home and find mutilated chickens. Prior to this, Jake was also agressive with my 5 year old son.
So, my sister found a wonderful home for Jake this past week. I let Jake go spur of the moment and feel so heartbroken. I know he is better off where he is getting the best attention in the whole world but I never imagined missing him so much.
Jake is at home with a lady in remission from breast cancer. He is an only pet and is getting the best loving and attention any animal can imagine.
My other drawback from Jake was that I work 40 hrs. a week and go to school at night two nights a week. This was not expected when Jake was purchased.
As I said, many of you are going to bash me and I expect that. But, I miss him so much and have actually asked for a change of heart from the lady that got him. She have fell in love with him and has welcomed him into her home. She says I can't have him back.
I have Jasmine but something is still missing and that is my spunky "Jake".
I had an 18 year old dog to pass away last year and it seems almost as hard as letting Jake go.
I know he is happy but I would love to have him back. Maybe I'm selfish!
Again, please don't bash me too much! I'm just looking for sentiments here. I think I did what was right for Jake.
