whom we heard about him 3 years ago. It has been a wonderful relationship between me and this dog. We adore each other. Howard likes him, but thinks he is a lot of trouble. I have been willing to overlook the problems and the expense, but it has gotten too hard to do all that it takes to be a good dog owner.
So, he is at the groomer this morning because the owner of the agency wants to come over and take his picture for the internet. I am "holding in" being a wreck. I am sure the dog will adjust better than I will. He spends most of his time "sleeping around," and the rest of the time peeing and pooping. What I will miss is our petting time, which is almost all the time he is awake. He has a lot of bad habits that I won't miss, but on the whole life will seem more free, but definitely more lonely.

Oh Myrna, I don't envy you one bit, having to make such a tough decision. You've obviously given it a great deal of thought and I'm sure you're right, the little guy will adapt to a loving home. Don't feel too bad about giving him up, although he will leave a big hole in your life.
Hi Kath, as a dog owner you really understand. I wouldn't do it unless I felt it was better for us in the long run, and hopefully good for the dog as well. I'm just afraid I will be worrying about him for a long while. But I'm getting ahead of myself; maybe no one will want him! There aren't too many people clamoring for an 8 yr. old dog with bad habits!!!!!
let's hope there is the ideal home out there. I volunteered for many years, at a dog shelter. I was constantly surprised at the wonderful people who came to our doors, prepared to take on a difficult dog and there were far more happy outcomes than not. Webber is very appealing, so lets hope an experienced owner falls in love with him.
Oh dear, how sad. I hope the new owners will keep in touch and send you pictures and things so you know he is alright and happy - which I am sure he will be. Poor you.
