i have two dogs, a collie about 5-6 years old and a rhodesian about 1 1/2 years. due to a variety of reasons, health, finances etc, i have decided that i can only have one dog.
my father has offered to take my collie since he likes her and has met her before. he lives in the country about 800 miles away and i see him once every few years. i live in the city.
i have no doubt that my collie will have a great life there, he is good with dogs and it's a rural area so she will have lots of space to run free. she is very easy going, good with people of all ages and takes to new environments quite well.
i guess i am worried about my younger dog that i am keeping, and how she will take this. they are very good friends and play together and i hate to separate them but.......
i think this is the best for all concerned.
bet you can tell i feel very guilty about this.
anyhow i just wanted some thoughts on how the dog who remains might react and how i can alleviate some stress on her part? she tends to be very high strung, a bit of a worrier.
thanks.
