Well we made a difficult decision but we believe it was the best for Zoe and us as well.
She is a beautifull girl but we felt increasingly that we couldnt give her the home she should have and that we were just not the right owners for this dog.. We wanted to make the decision before she was too old and would find it harder to be in another family.She is still very young nearly four months old.
We just were not up to the task of training such a large breed and doing a good job of it. I was doing a little better than hubby and it was so much harder on him. We are no spring chickens.
She has a home with a fantastic family
THey have a thirteen year old daughter who Zoe will belong to as a graduation gift. The girl was thrilled and Zoe went crazy over her.
.
They already own a lab that is nine years old so they are well aware of lab behaviours and yes they did bring their lab with them to meet Zoe and they hit it off extremely well. Their dog is so sweet natured and friendly.
They are aware of her biting ,chewing and all of her habits etc and seem to know how to handle it even while they were here I could see how good they were with her including the daughter. They also told me that their dog would help her to learn good behaviours as well.
THey live on a farm with 50 acres that they told me Zoe will be able to run on with them on many outings.
I am soooooo happy for her but still sad for me as I miss her and cried like a baby the day we said good bye. I still cry and sometimes and wish I hadnt done it but in my heart I know it is right.
It was the hardest thing I have had to do in a very long time.
The new people told me that I am welcome to come out and see her anytime but I will wait on that as I want her to forget us totally and just become part of their family first.
Also I dont know if I could do it..
It sure is quiet around here
