Hello Everyone at Pet Talk. I just wanted to update you on "my" aggressive dog. He is adjusting very well to his new place. So well, in fact, that his new owners believe he is ready to stay with them permanently. My plan was to take him a few times, first. My other dog, the female, has started to come out of her shell, so to speak. She has begun to play and tease and "frolic" and wag her tail out of joy (rather than fear) more and more now that she is the only four-legger in the back yard (besides my 13-year-old cat). Apparently the other dog had completely domianted her -- a dynamic I was unaware of, until now. My son is missing the male dog, I think, but I am now certain that I have made the right decision for everyone involved, including the animals. When I hear how happy the other dog seems to be and when I look at my sweet "puppy-girl" playing and chasing squirrels in the yard and especially when I look at my son, I know that my feelings of guilt are quite misplaced and maybe even selfish. Again, thank you everyone for your help and support. To those of you who are new to this site, it's absolutely the best Happy holidays to everyone and keep your tails wagging!
