| May Need To Rehome I posted here a few months ago about the yorkie I found. We never found her owner, and I am thinking more and more for her sake, I may need to rehome her. She is not happy here. She has not settled in with my dogs. I said before it's obvious she was an only dog, and it's only become more apparent. It doesn't help that Pixie and Midget torture her by trying to force her to play. Pepsi is the only one she tolerates, and that is because she don't try to make her play (plus she's all of like 3 lbs, and so super tiny). And I think Sabre just freaks her out by being male, and she doesn't know what the devil Fluffa is, but she wants her to stay far far far away from her. I really like this dog, she's a sweetheart, even if she is a nasty stealth humper, but SHE is not happy here. She doesn't like other dogs. I think it's because my dogs are all young and they want to play and jump around and act foolish and she just can't handle that, but would be fine with older dogs that don't want to do as much, and she would be very happy with being the only dog. I have not made up my mind, I'm just sharing as I'm frustrated with how unhappy she is. I'm not used to my dogs being unhappy.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I hope you're able to come to some resolution - it's gotta be a very tough decision and I'm sure it hurts to think of letting her go. I'm hoping for the best for you both!

| It is admirable that you care so much about this pup that you would consider giving her up so she can be a happier only dog. If you decide to rehome her I'm sure you will do everything possible to find the perfect home for her. You are awesome!

| I got a mut puppy who was truly adorable--all the wonderful things puppies are...But she just couldn't let me sleep, it was affecting my work and I was truly devastated when I put her in the arms of a co-worker. Best thing I've ever done! Paul and Faun were meant to be--their connection was instant and amazing to witness. And then within the week Piper came to me.--my Piper!!!! I love God and must remember that He knows what He's doing! My angst-ridden, guilt-laden decision ultimately brought absolute joy to all involved. Sorry, didn't mean to ramble. True love is putting your new little girl's needs first...as you are. Sometimes what we so badly want to be right, simply isn't. Trust your heart, your instincts and please know how truly wonderful you are... It is certain that whatever decision you make will be the right one. My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.Henry Ford |

This is a wonderful, touching, compassionate, loving testamony and life lesson! I LOVE this!!! This is the kind of experience shared, that allows some of us to make such hard, gut wrenching difficult decisions and choices, realizing it is best for the pup concerned, and that WE too, will also eventually benefit from the decision, as we travel down the road in front of us. Warm "heart hugs" to both of you ladies..... | |

| It's heart breaking, it really is, how tense she is around the other dogs and when Midget and Pixie get started in on her, she literally screams in panic. And when she has her own space, she relaxes. I have started to crate her just so she can get some peace, and even though she is good in the crate (more proof that SOMEONE put a lot of time into her), it's not fair to her to have to be crated because I have spunky girls that want to MAKE her like them. I find myself switching them out, Pixie and Midget half the day, Pokey the other half. If she's freaking out because they are playing Derby Day (you guys know what I mean, when they pretend to be greyhounds and zip all over the house), then Pokey gets crated, and then she is OK. If she is freaking out because they are picking on her, then THEY get crated, and then she is OK. Annddd, I just realized, I am the one that has the bigger issue with her being crated. She's just fine with it and will fuss to be let out if she has to potty. It upsets ME to have to crate her for her own peace of mind, than it does HER who has to be crated. She's fine with it, and even relieved. But I don't like crating dogs, even if I see the necessity of it, so crating her upsets me. I have had a bit of an epiphany here. I'm still not 100% sure what I am going to do. But you can believe whatever it is, it is going to be in her best interests. As much as I like this tyke, I believe in doing the best for your animals, they need us to be their advocates, to do what is right for them even if it's not what we might want to do or something we might think silly that the dog should get over. I am going to talk with my trainer. I'm going to see if there is something we can do to make her more comfortable with my other dogs and see if there is something I can do about Pixie and Midget. They are otherwise well behaved dogs, but it's like they know they can push that button. Pepsi is the youngest, smallest and also the nicest, Fluffa doesn't care, she's the happy dog, and Sabre is a perfect gentleman, but she still wants nothing to do with them, unless it's bed time. Then of course she wants her place on the bed too, even if it means sharing with THOSE... THINGS... lolol. It looks like though, she will be having more crate time, and so will Sabre, because it looks like she is coming in heat, and because of that, no way those two will be allowed loose at the same time. *sigh* If it's not one thing, it's something else.

| I am not against crating and x-pens. IMO if this little girl feels secure in her crate then why not as long as she has her time to play, get attention and move about the house. I have a Chi and she could care less for any of my other dogs. They don't make her nervous they just tick her off so she goes to her x-pen when she doesn't want to be bothered. Having her own space is not a bad thing. You know your environment and schedule better than anyone and whether you can keep her comfortable and stress free. If it's difficult then rehoming might be the better option for this pup. No doubt you will do the right thing. Wishing you luck in what ever you decide!

| You're amazing, truly. It's just Piper and me, yet some days I feel like I'm in the House-Oh-Chaos! I hope you're able to find time to relax a bit--mentally, physically and emotionally. It'll be ok...Why? Cuz it has to be! Believe in you the way we all do, again, the decision you make will be the right one. Much love to you and your little gang of gangstahhs!

| When we were thinking about bringing home a sister/brother for Magnus, my biggest concern was whether they'd get along or not. Even before we made the decision, just the thought of the optential of rehoming the new pup broke my heart. I'm happy to see you have support here at the very least and you're able to take some comfort. I'm sorry to see you're having to go through this and I really hope you're able to find a solution very soon. Good luck. |
