I'm so sorry to hear this and wish you all the best. I hope Daisy finds a fantastic home....

I am very sorry to hear she need another home but she needs a home where she'll have a chance to adjust well .

JeanieK · 08-01-2006, 12:39 PM

Perhaps one of the YT'ers that have been looking for another one can give her a good home. Best of luck to Daisy.

AmyZinNC · 08-01-2006, 04:03 PM

Thanks for the replies. We've tried to make it work, but I just dont know what else to do...I'll try to answer some of the question asked. I knew many of you would be very angry/upset...and Im sorry.

She is 7 years old. We've had her 9 months. She lived in a kennel and was used for breeding before we got her. Never really socialized, etc....

She is just not comfortable..she scurries around trying to hide from the kids...HATES to be alone an is very spiteful in that matter....

I just feel she would be better in a home without young children.
Ive thought alot about it, and am doing it for her, what I hope will be best for her.

As far as geting another one some day.. we would want a puppy that isn't set in its ways yet, that we can raise theway we would lke....but we dont know if and when for sure that will happen.

Thanks again for the replies...and Im sorry to those that are mad/upset with me.

I'm not mad or upset with you in any way. I just feel bad for poor little Daisy, as I am sure you do too. Please don't just give her to anyone. Please find her a home she will be happy in so she doesn't have to be rehomed again. Best of luck to you and Daisy.

yorkiegirl2 · 08-01-2006, 04:23 PM

I know it's hard but
You need to do what right for you and her.
good luck in placing her in a wonderful home..

Passionfruition · 08-01-2006, 04:26 PM

Aww, this is a shock! I know how much you love Daisy, and my heart goes out to you as you make such a big decision. I'm sorry things are not working out, but I do have faith that you will find just hte right home for her and she will be happy with the decision you make.

If she would like to live in Charleston, SC and have Sully as a brother, let me know. We have been wanting a sister for Sully. I'm serious!

Mitzis Mom · 08-01-2006, 04:27 PM

Not all 'marriages' are made in heaven and sometimes it is better for all parts to go seperate ways. I'm sure you thought of all aspects and do what's best for Daisy.

Rem&Silkmom · 08-01-2006, 04:51 PM

I'm sorry to hear that you have to rehome Daisy. Don't beat yourself up 9months is a long time to give all you have to make her feel comfortable. I'm sure it was a tough decision for you. Best of luck in finding her a new home.

JCarlson2004 · 08-01-2006, 04:57 PM

I know this is a hard decision but at least you can be comforted in the fact that you are putting Daisy first. GOOD LUCK and god bless.

Dawn125 · 08-01-2006, 08:06 PM

I think you are making the right choice for Daisy and I don't think anyone is mad at you. I think it would be really nice if you could find an older person to adopt Daisy. Someone who is old enough that they would be hesitant to adopt a puppy that may outlive them. Someone retired with no small kids around.

SJK1113 · 08-01-2006, 08:13 PM

I'm sorry that you have to give Daisy up, but you're doing what you feel is best for her and your family. I wish you the best of luck in finding her a home where she will be happy.

livingdustmops · 08-01-2006, 09:31 PM

Amy I think you are making the right decision but I really wish you were turn her over to rescue so they could find just the right home for her. She will never entirely fit into any home because of her 1st 7 years of her life. I am afraid she will just go from home to home because of her potty training issues and her fear issues. It will take just the right people to deal with all of her issues and an experienced rescue could do this.

doortego · 08-01-2006, 10:25 PM

Just very sad for you and Daisy. I pray that God will help you to find just the right home for Daisy. It just hurts my heart to think of what must go on in their little heads in situations like this. I hope that whoever gets her will be able to devote the time and attention that she needs. And I also hope that they will keep us up to date on her progress. I am sure it will be a long process but we can still pray for a happy ending to Daisy's story.

yorkieskater · 08-02-2006, 04:50 AM

I know how you feel! I said I would never return a dog...and I got a nother puppy soon after the one I have. I also think it may have been too much for me to try and train two puppies the "way" I want them both at the same time. My family saw this dogs behavior. This dog was mean the first week I had him. Food aggressive (which I HATE and spent a lot of time breaking him of it), aggressive to my other dog, and went after my neice with NO provocation and she wasn't running around or doing anything that would get him excited. I broke him of some of the aggression but in the meantime, my other puppy wasn't getting the training I had planned for us to do. I felt it wasn't fair and this new puppy (he was older and not socialized by the way) was afraid to go EVERYWHERE. Wouldn't walk on a leash (no matter how much I worked with him), slunk around everywhere (especially if I was playing with Sparks), ...I honestly thought he was going to be a "fear" biter and I have alays had friendly dogs that anyone could do anything to. In the end, even if I didn't take him with me when I traveled...I was afraid he wouldn't handle being left with someone very well and I would Iworry abvout him all the time. I'm just getting my life back together and just can't handle that kind of worry and problems right now. I want freedom which I haven't had for over 3 years. I can take Sparks or leave him anywhere and he is fine. Plus, I didn't think I should have to pay that much for a dog who had those problems.
Anyways, he is with an older couple now showing none of the behaviors he show2ed with me (according to them but I have to wonder about some things they are telling me) and he is getting alone with children...go figure...anyways...my point is...I know how you feel.
