Thats the one thing that I think I will find really difficult when I qualify. I think you just have to distance yourself. Don't beat yourself up hun, sometimes these things happen. JUst get some benny & Jerrys cookie dough and watch a chick flick, hope your feeling better soon hun! Big hugs.

"Well said, it was the right thing for the doggy, now he can run free, stress free and happy!"

Yeah, when you think of it like that I suppose it was the best for the little mite, it's just difficult sometimes, but it's comforting to think of him care free now

Had the same recently with an 11 month old, owners had tried everything and been bitten themselves, no warning at all. It had recently bitten another member of the fsmily (son's girlfriend) they were devistated but had made the right choice. In some cases it is the right thing to do rather than "passing the buck" which I think is what happened in his first home.

You have saved him from a fate worse than death- living in a rescue for months/years on end getting stressed and gaining more problems. Some times, although its frustrating its best for the dog.

Hay don't beat your self up over it. You can't save them all (I should know I try!). Just think he could go to rescue kennels, get homed, bite someone who doesn't know how to work with him, go back to kennels, gaining a whole heap more problems and get passed on again and again each time getting more stressed and more behaviour probs. You have saved him from this. If you could find the ideal home (and sometimes they don't work out either!- see my JRT post!) and have the perfect O to work on him, than fab it can be awesome for the dog. But in my experience this doesn't happen the first time. Or if the O is willing to commit 100% to a behaviour modifying program- doesn't happen often either- sadly.

Try to destress yourself babes. The bf will get to you when he's ready.

I usually find a nice bottle of wine helps to destress too and they are also good at listening to your days events!

Hugs xx

Maybe, I do miss him when I don't see him and when I've had a hard day I usually tell him all about it. And with the whole fiasco today, it's just a bit much
