Thanks for all the replies - I know now what NOT to do in the future.

They weren't just trying to sniff and be alpha dogs they were pissed - I have never seen Tye like that - for 2.5 lbs he sure acts big. I am afraid that the new dog would have hurt him it I had let them try to get down together. They were both making major MAD sounds and I wasn't about to chance it.

She was getting rid of him because her father in law moved in with them and brought his dog and they didn't get along - we could never do that to Tye.
As heart breaking as it was, we did the right thing. If and when it is time for a new family member, I am better advised and it will work out.

Our son is ok now - he has a HUGE heart and was worried but now knows that she already found him a home with no other animals.

Thanks again for the replies
