So sorry that things didn't work out with Ajay. :( I think we all understand that you have to put your current dogs first. I'm sure he will find a wonderful home with no larger dogs.

That poor boy,,,, well he isnt at the pound,, he is staying at her borading kennel,, but seeing how its so crowded with the holidays,, the poor boy is stuck in his crate most of the day and he is EXTREMELY stressed out and crying constantly,,, oh dear,,,, poor sweet Ajay,,, he does hate that crate,, we jut took him out of it and he did well,, I cant imagine how bad he must feel now..... Crap,, Thought I felt bad,, now I feel even worse then before.....
Man,, I suck for not trying harder,,, yet I know it wouldnt have worked,,, WHY do I have to love that sweet Dobie boy so much?????????:( :( :(
Why don't you search for a dog trainer/behavorist and ask them what they think you should do and if they could help?? itd probably take alot, alot of work but eventually they (the pets) might just start to accept each other :) Ajay shouldn't be in a crate most the day :( thats just not fair or right :(
I am about to ask her how much time he is spending in the crate,, I suspect she has him out as much as possible... if anything,, it wont be for very lonng,,, the 28th at the longest he will have to spend time in it,, after that,, the boarding kennels will have rooms for him to be put in and out of that crate,,, he is miserable for now,, but it could be worse!!
At this point ,,, I suppose we could look for a behaviourist,, but after Xmas and such,,, who has money for that?? I know I dont! Also,, I am heartbroken enuff as it is,, and if it were to not rok even after that,,,, not only would we be even more upset,, but what would poor Ajay think??? He would be SO screwed up!!!:( I feel his forever family is out there and they will find eachother,,, I truly think he needs to be an only child....
I think you are right, he needs to be the only dog in the house.
You tried, and it just didn't work out! I wish I could give you a hug right now!! How about you wrapping your arms around Lucy and Merlin and giving them hugs!!
I'm so sorry.... I feel so bad for you!
My heart just breaks for you Lorraine. What a difficult situation.
Great big hugs for you!!!!

I'm really sorry that it didn't work out Lorraine! I know how much you wanted it to and you can tell how much you loved Ajay. I agree with the others he will be better off in a home without other dogs. I believe you did the right thing and you should NOT feel guilty.
We had a friend that had cancer and he had no chance of living so he never got to come home. Anyway, he had a dog and her name is Bear. He loved that dog more that life. He was in a hospital quite a few miles from where we live and his brother was driving back and forth everyday and it was hard on him so he asked if we could keep Bear for a week so he could just stay with his brother at the hospital. I said of course. Bear is a female chow pit mix and my dog Jada hated Bear. She went after her all the time so I know the stress you were going through. I had to keep Bear and Jada apart and I was a nervous wreck over the whole thing. So I know what you were going through and it's not any fun. I hope you are feeling better about everything.
Welllll.. I was doing okay today until I came across Ajays adoption papers on the computer desk,,,, off into the tears I went again........... sigh,,, I have used WAYYY too many kleenex these past few days!!!:( thank you for thinking of me and all the wonderful sentiments,,, I so appreciate them!!!!
