Our dog is off to a new home in a couple of weeks.... :( [View All]

[LynzM]

He's off to live with friends of ours in Ohio as of February 3rd... She and I are going to meet up in Harrisburg, PA, to avoid the dog-on-airplane scenario, and so that it's hopefully less traumatic for Kelev.

It's a combination of Briarius being frustrated with him because he wants constant attention, since he (Briarius) grew up with farm dogs, and me feeling bad that we are not home as much or spending as much time with him, out for walks and stuff, as I know we should be. I feel like that's really contributing to the attention stuff and I feel really bad about it. :( I know he'll be happier where there will be people home much more of the time, and he'll get out more, but man, am I gonna miss this snuggly guy.

And we still haven't told our daughter yet, and it's gonna rip her up, I think... :( I think we might do that this weekend, to give her some time to get used to it. We're going to have a little going-away party the night before, too. Anybody have any great thoughts? My only plan so far is to explain about how she wouldn't want us to leave her home alone, and she likes to go out and play, and Kelev doesn't really get either of those things right now... you know, try to draw some parallels? *sigh*
