Topic: I might have to give my dog to another family...

The best decision may just be to let your uncle hold onto her. At 9 years old, it might be hard to teach her to behave better (Can't teach an old dog new tricks). You could just keep her away from people, kinda like my friend does. His dog's bitten my a couple times, but nothing "bad" just scratches, so when people come over they put him in his kennel.

Maybe she could stay with your uncle, who could help train her, and then give her back! After all, you shouldn't have to completely lose her over

I could never give up my dog up a dog she's part of my family, though I did have to have my 4 year old dog put to sleep at the beginning of December (2012) last year.

I hope you will still be able to visit your dog.

what happened? It was only 4

@Ketchupcat your questions for me right?

She had Kidney Failure and the Vet said there was nothing they could do.

@MultiMariosonic

i am very sorry that you will not have your dog living with you. sometimes parents have to make difficult decisions, decisions we know are going to hurt our kids. it is one of the parts of being a grown up that sucks.

i hope your dog can go live with your uncle so that you may still visit her.

this is a sad thread
But at least if she lives with your uncle, you can still see her. That's what I would do.

My family dog (she's a German Shepherd) is the kind of dog that you find annoying at times, but would feel that something was missing if they weren't there. I remember there was a least two occasions when I was a kid when we had to give up dogs that were too big of a problem, but since I was already surrounded by almost every animal one could own, from horses to chickens, to frogs and lizards, I wasn't bothered by the fact too much.

Hey you don't have to worry about Macy because she is staying with me.

Really? Congrats then!

Just make sure she doesn't get into any problems in the future.

Congratulations, may I ask what happened that would let you keep your dog?

Our miniature australian shepard jumped on my 4-year-old nephew recently and gave him some nasty scratches and bruises, so the family is trying to find a new home for him before anything more "serious" happens. I've lost dogs before, too. It sucks, and nothing helps.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

I've had a couple of pets pass away and have to leave, so I can relate. I'm glad you got her back, @MultiMariosonic.

I might have to give my budgerigar away because it pecked my neighbour's eye out

We had to get rid of a budgie because... well lets say he wanted a wife but used he's toys instead.

Giggity

I feel for ya, I had to get rid of my 200 zebras because they gave people motion sickness when they ran past. Also they stunk up the whole neighborhood.

Let's just say my mom found a change in heart. (It means she changed her mind because Macy meant a lot to us.)

good news
