I rehomed Teddy.

[Tonya]

It is very hard for me to talk about right now. I don't want to hear negative opinions, but just want you all to know that I rehomed Teddy.

He will now be in a home with a boxer, small poodle mix, and a 10 year old boy. It is a friend of ours that has always been totally in love with Teddy, so we'll still be seeing him and getting pictures. Our friend's wife does not work, so he'll be getting the attention that he deserves. He will also be neutered.

I have been thinking about this for a while, but didn't want to bring it up. I wanted this to be strictly my decision. I didn't want anyone to sway me.

I couldn't stand the fact that we constantly had to pen him. I hated the idea that he had to be caged all day long when we were at work. I feared for his life because he was always getting loose.

I felt bad for my cats because he was always tormenting them. My cats never dashed or wanted to go outdoors until I got Teddy.

I was so sick of arguing with Mike about neutering him. Because he was unneutered, he had so many bad habits.

The final straw was the fact that his wife had her babies this weekend while I was in Vegas. She had a cream and a sable. One died at birth, the other a day later.

Ted was my first unneutered pet, my first small dog, and my first purebred. I thought that I knew what I was getting myself into. Obviously not. I feel horrible about it and I will miss him like crazy. But I don't feel that I can provide a good home to a small dog. There were probably alot of things that we could have done differently; but with the situation I was in now, this was the best decision.
