Oh god...I cannot believe this is happening...

I know the pain that you are feeling. I went through that twice. When I had to put Rosco to sleep for his agressiveness, and when I rehomed Teddy because I couldn't handle him. It is such a difficult decision.

I really think that you should give Oz more time. Those type of dogs are soooo hyper and take so long to mature, but they do. Dusty was really wound up forever. There were times where I didn't even enjoy being around him because he was so high maintenance. I am happy to say that at 3 years old, Dusty finally mellowed out. He's a great dog now. I honestly thought he'd never calm down though.

I know that you love Oz and you will make the best decision for him. I stand behind you no matter what you do.

It is great that you are involved in so many activities, and by reading this it sounds you may be very young, when you mentioned school, maybe you are in college? I know when you have a lot on your plate so to speak, you can easily make less time for your beloved pets, but I can tell how much you love Ozzy and am sure you are agonizing with the decision to find a new home for him. But if you can get together with your family and allow them to help you in this decision , it may be of help to you, and sometimes second opinions can be a life saver when you are having to make hard decisions. My little April is one that i couldn't part with, unless like you, I found that I couldn't give her the attention she needs. But like some of the others here have said, maybe you won't always be too busy? And maybe there are other activities, besides the ones you hold most important, sports, music, school, like time you might spend on the phone or computer or television you might could use for quality time with your sweet Ozzy? That would be nice if you could come up with something other than separating yourself from him when he loves you so much too. Anyway, I just hope that you will think it over some more, and I am sure if you take time to search your alternatives you will come up for the very best plan for Ozzy.:)

I am glad you have decided to give it thru the summer. Several of us would give anything to have our beloved pets that have passed back with all their faults, and this just tears my heart out.
I know that it would be difficult for a young one like yourself to give up things that you enjoy and might shape how you turn out but have you and your parents given it any thought?

:) So glad you decided to take some time to think this over!!! You are doing the right thing for Ozzy!
I knew you would do what was best for him!

So, has anyone heard anymore from Foam on how things are going?

How are things going? I hope you can update us soon.

Bump? :confused:

We would appreciate an update. Check your pm box!

Is Foam even still around at all? Normally, I'd think no news is good news, but, this doesn't seem like a good thing that we aren't hearing ANYTHING at all. :( Is there no one here that talks to her outside of Pet Talk?

I do.

She's on an 'Away Message' on AIM, but I messaged her, and asked if she could give us an update soon...

Hopefully she'll reply here.

I really hope all is well with her...even if they do not keep Ozzy. :(

Hello all, thanks for worrying about me and all. :)

Sorry I havent been around much..it's summer so I'm always out n about with friends and stuff.

Ummm..things are going fairly well with Ozzy. He's been getting a little better and we've been talking about the whole issue frequently. Still haven't decided yet, but my guess would be that he's staying right where he is. I can't image of parting with him...It would just be to hard. But we're still waiting til mid summer...:)

Thanks again guys.

Good to hear from you. :)

Thats good to hear that Ozzy is staying put for now.

There is no better time than summer for playing with and training a young dog. ;) Have fun.

Glad to hear things should work out just fine.

But remember, the summer is the perfect time to spends lots of time with him and really work out whatever needs to be worked out with him. :)

Hm...I don't think I've seen pictures of the Ozzster in quite awhile....;)
