Very Sad Day
Tonight I had to make the very hard decision to try and find a new home for Cheyenne. My son started crawling this week and one of our major fears was realized... he crawled over next to her and she snapped at him. This is breaking my heart because she really is a great dog... just not with kids and sometimes other dogs. She is almost 11 years old now and I just can't take the chance that next time she snaps at him it might connect. I know finding a home for her will be a major challenge though because I cannot in good conscience give her to a home with kids or another dog. If I get really lucky I will find a home with a single person or couple with no kids that wants a quiet, very well behaved dog to share a few years with. I have owned Cheyenne for 10 1/2 years now and I always believed I would have her until her very final moments. I feel like I am failing her now but I know her personality like no one else could and I just don't feel like this is fixable... that feeling compounded by the previous fight with Checkers. Anyhow... this has made for quite a crummy night for me and I'm still fighting back the tears. Just needed to share....
