Animal Lovers - My last puppy leaving

[MAYNARDSMOM]

I've been down to 2 puppies for almost 3 weeks now. They are 15 weeks old today!!! Time for them to move on, so I thought. Sold one of the two Sat night & was fine with that. Left with my favorite "Dottie" She has become pretty attached & seems to like the "pack". Well I just spoke with a woman (someone we know) who wants her - TONIGHT!!! I have let myself get to attached to her, I'm blubbering like a child. I told her I wanted to bring her down, they have another dog & I want to make sure she is alright. The thought of the look on her face when I leave w/o her is breaking my heart. I know she will adjust after a few days & be just fine but the stupid tears are still coming. I feel so stupid!!

I had the same problem when I had to let my puppies go, I was in tears!!! But then again, out of the 7 puppies I kept 2, originally 3 but one of my closest friends fell in love with Maverick and I couldn't stand in the way of that

It's tough to let go of those little fur balls. Do you think you can still visit her?

 

[MAYNARDSMOM]

Absolutely we can visit. But you know how that goes, we say we will but then life happens & time gets away from us. I think for Dottie's sake I should let them get to know one another before I visit her. I don't want to confuse her. All of our dogs were fine once they adjusted, I keep telling myself that.

She lays with her Mama now in her kennel napping. I have a whole shlew of stuff I'm sending - toys, blankies, food, treats, dishes all of her stuff that she is familiar with.

I think Daddy is ready for them to ALL be gone, he wants the focus back on him. He's such a Mama's boy that Maynard

Tami,
I teared up just reading your post. I'm happy you have found good homes for everyone, but I'm sorry for all the *good-byes* you've had.

Update

We took Dottie last night & all went well. We stayed outside for a little bit letting the 2 dogs get to know one another. Pooh (their black chow) wanted to play with Dottie, she finally came around & engaged in play with her. Thatwas a big comfort to see. Inside she seemed comfortable enough to walk around a bit but would come back to me now & then. When we finally left I snuck out while she was pre-occupied getting a toy. Man was that hard. I bawled the whole way home. This morning poor Maggie (mommy) has gone out on theproch looking for her - breakng my heart.
I do feel very good about her new home. They had another dog but had to puther down over the summer from breat cancer. I know this woman will love her like I do.

thanks for all your support.

Tami,

I can only imagine the strength it took to give her to another family. I hope it gives you great comfort to know the joy she will bring to her new family, and in return receive a loving forever home
((hugs))

ahhh, the hard part of breeding dogs, I do the same thing when I sell puppies, I have three that will be sold in 6 weeks and just thinking about it makes me so sad, because I would love to keep one, it is so cute and rare color
