Well as some of you know I am suffering from depression really bad. It's getting better.
Well I ended up rehoming Charlie. I love him and miss him so much but it was a decision I made when I was really low. But it was for the better and he deserves it. He was really hyper and dominant.
He now lives with an ACTIVE family in which he gets to go on runs at 5 AM and walks at night too. And he gets to go to the dog park (in my city it hasn't been built yet) and her sister is an agility trainer (which he would just LOVE) He loves training. I did play with him 24/7 but I felt I was not enough.
I did the right thing. Why should he miss out on what he loves when he could be happier somewhere else. He was happy here, but he could have been happier.
Now on to Runner. Remember me posting and thinking of getting a girlfriend for him? I adopted her. she's a mix. Maybe mixed with sheltie? she has a tail and long THICK fur. She is half Charlie's size.
She is REALLY laid back, CALM and not dominant at all. She's such a lover and a lap dog. And a year younger than Charlie. Although her name is Runner. She is exactly the opposite. She's not very active. Infact, one person that adopted her before said she wanted a jogging companion. In which Runner was not.
Then she got rehomed to anotheer lady, but was returned a few days later because the lady got sick.
She looks funny now cus I had to shave her. She was covered in fleas and tics. I'm thinkng it started out a pregnant tic. I only found 2 large ones, rest were tiny. I've pulled off more than 50.
Runner fits in this household. She's here to stay for good. I think about Charlie everyday. I miss him and will always love him. He's changed my life and turned me into a dog person. I know deep down I did the right thing. I feel selfish for wanting to keep him, knowing he would be happier in a more active lifestyle family.
