I feel this is the best decision for Binn. Because Binn is not doing well, and will progressively get worse as he gets bigger, we have a big move coming up so we have decided it was in Binn's best interest if he not make the move with us.
We are moving to Las Vegas at the end of this month. There is a Irish Wolfhound rescue group in California that is willing to take him in and get him the treatment he needs.
The IW group in Dallas cannot take him, they do not have enough funds to get him his surgery, so they directed us to a group in California that is willing to help. some months ago a lady from the IW group here in Dallas was willing to drive Binn herself to the exact same place where he is going now, but we were for sure he would've been better by now, so we said No.. let him stay here with us. Months have gone by and he's not doing any better. He's got fluid building up behind his joints.. he needs help.
The group in Cali are paying to fly Binn out, and paying for his treatment, they will also give Binn a loving home there. There are already several Wolfhounds there, so Binn will have friends.
We've already talked to the owner of the IW group, and arrangements have already been made. Binn will have his last vet appointment here, to confirm he is healthy enough to fly, and then he will be flown out this Friday.
I know, several months ago I did say we had the money for Binn's surgery, since then we have bought a house, and now we are moving to Las Vegas so we can no longer afford his surgery.
It is hard for me to give him up, he is my heart dog and my best friend, but i know he will get the love and the treatment he so much needs at the new home he will go to.
As for Stella, she is going to a new home as well. We have already visited her new home. She will be living on 5 acres with a loving family that has lots of kids, and no dogs, so she can be top dog again.. lol
