Chicken Chick Posts: 3562 Location: Texas	lexyy12 - 2014-01-30 9:15 PM Thanks guys! We are now trying to find him the PERFECT FOREVER home for him. When I go, my husband will keep my dogs but if for whatever reason he doesn't want them/can't keep them/isn't alive or whatever they will go to another person. (everyone is aware of who I want them to go to). That being said, I would love for me to say my dogs are going here and everyone will be a big happy family when I am gone... That isn't always the case and I understand that. They may not be in a position to take them at the time, my dogs may hate their dogs, my dogs may be too much for them. Also if I had a grand baby in the mix with all of this that may get hurt by one of my rowdy dogs, and the dog may "suffer" because he can't really be a part of the family. I hope they find a good home for my dogs instead of banishing them to a back yard just to keep a promise. I would rather my dogs and my family be happy with the situation, then everyone be miserable over a promise made to me. I understand keeping a promise, but if it were me and things didn't work out... I would be completely ok with my dogs going to someone (even someone that I didn't know) that would be able to love them and have them be part of the family like I do. I am trusting that the people that take my animals when I go will make the right decision for the animals, even if that means they can't keep them. Good luck with finding him a home.

Your grandfather is not in Heaven crying tears over this situation. This is a left-behind situation you all need to deal with in a manner that works for all of you. If the training hasn't helped and it's been truly tried with no improvement, they do recover moving to a new situation, plenty have gone through worse and they have found new wonderful lives in a situation that works for them. I can't imagine clinging to a legacy of keeping an unruly dog that isn't fitting into the living situation as the only "thing" my departed loved one left behind. Sucks to have to rehome an animal in any situation but you do what you have to do. Keep the focus on what the dog needs...he needs something that's right for him, look at it that way instead. I wish I could hit 'like' a million times. AMEN!
