We had a 5 year old chocolate lab before Finnley was born. He was always high maintenance and extremely "energetic" (ie. hyper), but he became too much when I also had a child to take care of. Walks with him and a stroller were difficult and often dangerous, and he was starting to show some aggressive tendencies as well (perhaps from less attention and exercise). So when Finnley was a year old we left him in Saskatchewan with my sister-in-law. I felt so guilty about it, particularly because he was my husband's dog to begin with, and I was the one who prompted the re-home. But it really was for the best, and I know he's much happier in his new home. As wonderful as pets are, I think it's perfectly acceptable to put you and your family first. Don't feel bad!Acianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129916014960968295.post-64313039950090093382011-12-16T12:47:42.818-08:002011-12-16T12:47:42.818-08:00Hey Sarah,

It was really sad because he was still a puppy. Sometimes you have to make these decisions. I had a cat in Taiwan called MeiMei and she drove me crazy too. Way too needy, meowing non-stop, and literally all over me all the time. I was almost happy to leave her behind with someone else... Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.SeaBlushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767185216061370316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129916014960968295.post-61976464037004850772011-12-15T13:14:45.387-08:002011-12-15T13:14:45.387-08:00Sarah,

None of them every worked out for some reason or another. It is hard juggling pets and little children. We always found better homes for our dogs but it was still mentally draining for me. A week after I vowed never to get another dog. My husband walked in with a small little mix dog from his work. He looked at my face and said it was on trial and we could give her back. However she has worked out wonderfully she plays when we play and rests when we rest. She seems to suit us perfectly. It also helps when the kids are big enough to help feed the dog and take it outside for you. Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
