We had Rogue for over two years and it finally got to the point that I had to come to the realization that it wasn&#39;t the best situation for any of us. <br /><br />I had given her all the love and attention that I had to offer. I expended all my training skills in trying to help her alleviate or at least cope with her anxieties. We even sought out medication to assist in the behavior modification program. <br /><br />I can&#39;t tell you all the tears that I have shed in agonizing over what to do. I debated with myself over and over which was best. To stay in an environment which may not be ideal, but where she was loved, or to let her try to adjust again to a new family which would more likely fit her needs better. <br /><br />In the end, letting our friends at Sheltie Rescue take her back and try to find a home where she could be an only dog, with less commotion in the household was what we came up with. I think in looking back it&#39;s all for the best, but I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll ever not feel just a twinge of regret that I couldn&#39;t be everything that Rogue needed.<br /><br />I applaud your selflessness in realizing that Sammy may be happier in a different home. It is a difficult situation to find yourself in.Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06167586753654796401noreply@blogger.com
