i post in floods of tears as we have decided to get rid of our puppy i just can't cope with him anymore and i don't expect him to be any better by september. i feel so selfish and guilty, but i just can't do it.

Awww sorry to hear that Nic, dogs are bloody hard work and its better to get them re-homed to someone with the time and space than to resent them.
How will you be re-homing? Make sure you ask for some money, that will ensure you get people who are very serious about wanting a dog. It;s really heart breaking as they do become part of the family, but Im sure he'll be a great companion for someone xx

 

[MrsHttc]

Awww I'm sorry to hear that nic. You've got to do what's best for you though. Don't feel guilty though, like ClimbingRose says, it's best to find someone who has the time and space, so your doing what's best for him too. *Big Hugs* xxx

My 1st baby has decided our car seat is for her!! Haha she's gona be be so jealous when baba is here!! Lol

 

[nds]

i know girls. i just can't stop crying! we've had two enquiries already. i feel so awful. and i feel terrible on hubby, i know he really doesn't want him to go! xxx

 

[clarep1905]

Oh Nic I'm so sorry that must have been such a hard decision to come to..Things have been like this for a while though haven't they so its not like you haven't tried your hardest.. You've got to make the best decision for you as a family. .big hugs xxxx

 

[Lochquoyzarin]

Ive just rehomed my German Shepherd Bitch Nic, a due to moving and b as she is too much work when have new baby, its hard but its for the best in the long run, try not to beat yourself up hun you are doing the right thing. xx

 

[nds]

they have indeed clare.

i know it's awful. i'm gonna miss him so much, but i know in the long run i'd rather have someone lovely take him and care for him and love him just as much as we do but be there to tire him out, and train him up properly, someone who can commit their time and energy to him without having a baby to focus on. i feel so sorry for them (that's hubby and dog lol). but, it needs to be done

ahh loch, sad how long ago was that? how do you feel about it?

oh's been on the phone to two different people since i posted last, hes so good looking its no suprise! we have four people coming thurs/friday to meet him. another on saturday. oh god he could be gone over the weekend!! xxx

 

[Lochquoyzarin]

She went on Friday, bit my lip th whole time the guy was here then hid away from everyone to have a cry, still bothers me when i think about it but he messaged me to say she is doing great and sent pics so fell abit better but it does hurt, but have to think of me and baby. xx

 

[ClimbingRose]

Nic its nice you've got so many people interested, it means you can see how he is with them, and choose whos best!! Atleast then you know he'll like them!

Awww Loch, it is upsetting! I had to give my dog to my mum a few years ago because I just wasnt cut out for dog ownership, then my mum had enough because she was just so energetic, so now she lives with OH's mum, and it was so sad having to take and leave her there, every time for months I saw her she'd try to come home with me, it was heart breaking and I always had a little cry. Wish i'd given her to a stranger now, so I could've got over it, it still makes me feel guilty every time I see her...

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

We have a very spoilt little dog and am dreading her not accepting the baby. We are just about to make changes to the house like another stair gate and moving her bed from the lounge to the hall way and I'm going to randomly lock her out for no reason. She has a toy box with her toys so will be putting babies box in soon so she learns they are not her things. So she knows it and the changes will not be related to baby. I have done so much research cos I'm dreading her not taking to him. She is a people person she loves all of us but hates other dogs and the lady who delivers my parcels lol. It's so very hard as if she dosnt take to him the only choices I have are to keep her separated which I don't like or put her to sleep. I could never re home her she would have a break down. She is a little person she has no idea she isn't human and no one would want her anyway. She is my beautiful baby but was badly injured when she was run over as a puppy. She only has half a mouth of teeth and 3 legs. I am dreading it but I can't force her to love him. I do think she will be fine tho but I won't take any risks. Need her to love her baby brother as much as she loves her big sister lol xxx

So sorry Nic xx its tough having to give them up xxx

Aw sorry u had to give urs up too Loch xxx Happy 23 Weeks xx

 

[ClimbingRose]

Lilmiss what an adorable dog!! xxx
Ofcourse all dogs are different, but staffy's are actually usually very good with babies, im sure she'll know its one of the pack and love it just as much as the rest of you!

 

[Applecrumble]

Oh Nic, sorry you have had to make such a tough decision...but there is definately no reason to have extra stress in your live at the moment!

Hi girls...just posting to say i miss you girls, you have such a great thread going here!

Apart from lack of sleep and constant nausea things are good here...i am in touching distance of the 12week golden ticket! Have scan on friday and can not wait!
Other things going on in our life is OH has got a new job in Devon so we will be relocating to Devon to start are family! It will be so nice to be able to finally get a house with a garden instead of a one bed flat!
As things stand my OH will accept the job assuming the 12week scan goes well. (He has told them about baby) and he will rent a place down there when he starts in july. I will continue living and working in london till maternity leave starts cica Oct and then join him. Anyway thats me...

Xxxxx

ah girls i'm so sorry about your pups i also heard staffys were great with kids, so hopefully your dog will be okay!

otis is sadly just too much like hard work, very boisterous and needs constant attention and stimulation which we just can't give. he is going to be alone at home all day today, which made me think even more that this is the right thing to do. hopefully my mum will be able to come and let him out etc. i just feel so upset, it's a bit silly really.

apple, we miss you too! good luck for friday, i'll pop over to see how you're doing! that's lovely. good luck with it all!

NDS - I rehomed our 5 year old cat just a couple of weeks ago now. She was semi-feral and husband had been nagging me that he didn't think she'd be safe around a baby etc - which he was right about. Anyhow, she has a lovely new home on a farm, catching mice and although I miss her, I know it's a much better life really. Doesn't make it any less sad mind.

I'm not at work today, got midwife appointment at 10:20am - 25 week appointment, couldn't do next week due to work so going today instead. Plenty of work to do when I get back, meeting my mum this afternoon for a coffee. Amongst all that, I also have food to order for the 30th Anniversary party that myself and 3 siblings are arranging for the parents as a surprise - although it seems it's at my house and I'm chief organiser! So, need to pop to Sainsburys and order the sandwich platters etc today.

aw alipops, sorry to hear that. these pets are more than likely having a fabulous time elsewhere with people who can focus on them properly! of course rather safe than sorry, i'm definitely going to be upset for a while because it's something i really really don't want to do, but i just know it has to be. i'm so emotional and pregnancy is not helping! feel like i've been crying non stop since i got in the car home last night and blurted out to OH how i really felt.

good luck at your appt alipops. oo busy busy! have fun.

i have something in my loft i think, i can hear it walking (?) around, i'm gonna guess a bird but i daren't check it out haha.

Sorry to hear you'rehaving to make such a tough decision nic. We had to re home our black lab when I was younger (family dog) and I still remember how hard it was. She just needed too much attention and we were all at school/work. However, up until she sadly passed about a year ago her new owners sent my parents a Xmas card with pics every year, so we knew she was happy and looked after. If you wanted some contact that way I'm sure new owners would do it?unless you think it'd be too hard?

loch - sorry about your dog too

Hey apple! Great to hear from you, and also exciting for your scan. Do keep us posted on how it goes. You'll be over here in tri 2 in no time!
