My Heart Is Heavy Right Now

[teri88]

When I married my husband he had two cats. I really did not like them, and they HATED me. After a few months we decided to find them new homes. My husband said he was ok with getting rid of them but he couldn't do it himself. I took them and got them homes. That weekend he was so depressed. I finally said "Do you want the cats back?" and he said yes. I called the two people and his cats were so awful they were both thrilled to get rid of them! So we went and got them back. We always laughed about the time we sent the cats on vacation for the weekend.
If your husband's heart isn't into it you will probably have to keep Luna. I feel for you though. We had a dog once who ate the entire carpet in our living room. If you keep him, read the book Marley and Me it will give you a laugh! Best of luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks again everyone! ~ Update on Luna ~ Ok we decided to try crating her upstairs so she can be with someone 24/7 and she is doing very well...no destructive behavior, no accidents...so I thought all was settled and we were keeping her. Then the hubby asked for the people's phone number last night. He called and told them that we'll be bringing her down to them on Saturday . I was blown away. His came to htis decision because he said that despite her doing well, she still needs more than we can give her right now. When it gets crazy in the houes Luna is the one to get put in her crate. He said it's unfair to her and he knows these people really want her and would be able to give her what she needs. I'm torn but I know we would LOVE to have our house back. She's a wonderful dog and I know we'll never get another female Boxer because she's the best we'll ever find. I know I will shed tears tomorrow but in the end it still seems the best answer for us all...I hope!

As for them breeding her, I know they want to do it at least once but I was thinking of telling them not to and witholding her AKC papers until she's spayed. We never registered her yet so they are free to do so but I was also thinking of blackening in the box on the registration form that allows for breeding. I just don't want her bred over and over. They didn't seem totally interested in the papers though and never sent in their male's papers, but they talk of breeding them. I just want what's best for her all around

i think you should make a contract that says they cant breed her
and good luck
