I rehomed Teddy.

Tonya I think you made the right decision for yourself but most importantly for Teddy. Looking forward to updates on him. I hope everything works out with his new family.

[Dogz]

I am sorry things did work out Tonya. You made the right decision. Hopefully everything works out in his new home, I can't wait for an update and pictures!

[wolfsoul]

I'm sorry things didn't work out. You did the right thing. I know I wouldn't be brave enough to do it, and would probably hang on to him and make life miserable for the both of us. I bet your friend will take good care of him.

I totally agree. Your decison was a hard one but the right one. Find comfort in that. Waiting to hear updates on Teddy, I hope that he will LOVE his new home and settle right in.
I pray the same will happen for Dukesmom's CHANCE.

I'm going to sound like an echo, but I think you did well by Teddy. You really gave a lot of thought to his well-being and happiness.

As much as I love Lefty, I can see where he wouldn't fit in certain types of homes. For starters, he doesn't like cats, and his former owners had two of them. They had to construct all kinds of barriers to keep them separated. Secondly, there's the slight aggression issue, and they were about to have a baby. In my most loving moments with Lefty, it's easy for me to think that they were nuts to give him up, but I can see where it worked out better for them AND Lefty!

I agree with everyone else's sentiments, and I think it will be really good for you and your home to have some of that constant tension taken away. Not every animal will fit in with every family or home. There is nothing wrong with rehoming a pet when it really needs to be done, as long as it is done responsibly and with compassion, the way you obviously did.

I have always had large dogs as well, and in my experience they tend to be more laid back and easygoing, at least once they are adults. Not to say they aren't ever boisterous or get into things . I have nothing against smaller dogs by any means, I love them all, but like you I'm more accustomed to the big dogs and they are the ones that most attract me.

Don't feel guilty, you did the right thing for all involved

[Tonya]

Thank you so much everyone.

Mike talked to Pat (Teddy's new dad) today. Pat ranted and raved about how Ted was so good in the car all the way home. He said his wife took Teddy everywhere shopping today and he was a good boy. I guess Teddy doesn't seem scared or homesick at all. He gets along great with the dogs. He was playing with them quite a bit, and they are gentle with him. Pat laughed and said that Teddy does think he is a big dog...he kept stealing the Boxer's bones and bed. Luckily, the Boxer is willing to share.

[Dogz]

That's great new that Teddy is having fun and doing well in his new home!

And you were worried Tonya, we told you everything would be okay. LOL. You knew he would be okay or you wouldn't have let him go.

I'm so happy he's doing well. I know how you feel with all the worrying. Although Chance hasn't been at my home, he's been in my heart all these months and I've been worried sick about him. I'm hoping his story turns out as well.

[mugsy]

Trust me. I know exactly how you feel....it is a horrible decision to have to make. I'm glad he's in a good home with people there all day and a little boy to play with. I'm sure he'll be happy. I'm sorry you had to make the decision.
