Feeling Depressed..

[Heather]

I have just learned that we cannot possible keep my puppy, Sasha. Even with all the training I've been doing with her lately, this pup just has not changed, and she's really making my Dad angry.. I just feel so depressed right now! I tried so hard to save this dog...I'm the only one who even TRIED out of the four of us kids! Sasha and I had such a great bond, and I always talked with her, even though she couldn't understand me. And she made me feel accepted. I love her so much, and I just can't imagine life without her.

I'm sorry, Heather..

I know how you feel, having to get rid of pets. I've had to give away so many of my good pets just because they acted kind of diffrently. . I'm sorry if I can't be on more in your time of need..

I'm sorry to hear that.

But I am sure it is for the best. From what I just read, poor Sasha is still unbalanced, and therefor, unhappy. If she continues to live in a place where the owners can't control her, then not only will the owners be unhappy, but she will be unhappy as well.

Love isn't enough to keep a dog happy. They need excercise and discipline, rules, boundaries, limitations to be happy as well. Does this mean you can't mourn for your dog? No, I'm not saying that. Everyone has the right to cry for their dogs.

So giving up Sasha may be the best thing now, so she can get a second chance with a new owner who, hopefully, will know how to keep her happy and balanced.

I hope you feel better soon. It is hard to lose someone you care about, but it is also important to move on.

Heather, some day you'll have to give up that dog anyways ....... I'm not saying that it doesn't hurt, because it does. But think of it this way, the world won't end, the sun will rise again

Dogs don't live that long, compared to the life of a human-being, thus you should be happy for Sasha, she'll be going to a place where she can be trained in a proper manner, a place where she will experience a lot more fun.... She'll be enjoying her short life as a dog When you love someone, you wish the best for them, don't you? I think that you should realise that the best thing for Sasha, is to give/sell/trade (whatever) her away, to a better place/family...... Dogs are quite cute But they don't live forever either.... The pain of loosing someone/something is not something you can avoid, everyone will have to experience it at some point in their life.... Just try to cheer up, and think of all the good things your puppy will experience be happy for her

I'm very sorry to hear that Heather
I know that this puppy means a lot for you I wish I could help somehow, but... sadly I can't

I'm sorry to hear that.
I know its never easy to let go. But Sasha will have another chance with another loving home. It'll hurt for a while, but you gotta move on. That's the most important thing. If you really love Sasha, you will let her go.

None the less... I'm sorry to hear that. *hug*

I'm sorry you had to give the puppy up Heather. I hope you can cope with the loss soon knowing that it might be happier where it's going.
