I posted a couple of weeks ago about the break down of my marriage and my impossible working hours. I have decided it necessary to rehome my wonderful rotti, Megan as I am not prepared to leave her for 12/13 hours a day on her own.

My neighbour and close friend has a family member who has always kept rotties and after a three year break we told him about Megan. He came last week to see her for the first time and spent two hours walking/playing and bonding with her.

Tonight he is picking her up to have overnight and drop back to me on Sunday evening for a trial run of just her and him. If this weekend goes well he is going to come and walk her all of next week and the following week book a weeks holiday and rehome. He is only out of the house for 4 hours a day and is devoted to dogs and extremeley knowledge about the breed.

Even so, my heart is bursting. I have spilt up with my husband, am loosing my equestrian home and moving house to a small semi on my own next Friday. All of this I have coped with really well, finding new accomdation for my 3 horses, getting a new well paid job etc etc.

This last thing, that I must do is the most difficult thing I have ever had to do in my life. Megan is my world, my baby and I feel that I have let her down so badly. I never get rid of my animals, I would rather stave, they have always come first.

But I cant bare to think of her being left in a small garden with a kennel day in day out for such long period of time. She has been used to being with people, hubby worked from home.

Please reassure me, I know she will have much better than I am now able to give her, thats why I am doing it, because I am putting her first.
 


Oh hun, I really feel for you. You are doing the right thing though, she is used to company and to leave her home alone so much would be unfair. Sounds like she is getting a lovely new owner. Hope there are happier times on the horizon.
 
You are doing the right thing Filly - I know it hurts but you are a very kind owner to put Megan's needs before your own; always remember that.

You are doing the right thing by your dog.Things must be very hard for you at the moment and i am sending you strength vibes and hugs.Will you still be able to see your dog when she is rehomed?.The guy sounds a lovely man and i'm sure he will take great care of your Rotti.Take care.
 
That must be so horrible for you, but you have definitely made the right decision. It's so nice to see an owner who actually cares about their dog this much, than those who try and hold on to it when it's unfair to the dog. *big hugs*
 
I can imagine how you must be feeling but keeping her in those circumstances would make you feel terrible too so you are doing the best thing for her. Just thinking about what it would feel like to part with mine makes me well up so my heart truly goes out to you. Big hugs and kind thoughts for you xx
 
I feel so sorry for you. You are doing the very best thing you can for Megan which is going to hurt you terribly. You could have been selfish and kept her and left her on her own for 12 hours every day, but that would have been just for your benefit not hers. I am sending you loads of good vibes. I hve been through a marriage breakdown, it is very very hard but you do come out the other side stronger. Try and focus on your horses and remember that you have done the right thing for Megan. One thing, although it will be hard, I wouldn't go and see her for a few weeks to give her chance to settle with her new owner. Sending you loads of ((hugs)).
 
((((hugs))))

You are doing the right thing by her and all though that's going to be very hard it's for the best. I've had to rehome a dog before, I know it wasn't as bad because it wasn't for the same reasons and he wasn't an only dog, but it was made better because we can go and see him whenever we want - perhaps he'd let you visit her once she's settled.
