unfortunatly I made the BIGGEST desision I ever had to make in my life. I re-homed Riley to someone with 10yrs experiance in the breed. She will be well taken care of and he is such a nice guy! he is Bogart's Breeder. We have been talking to eachother alot and keeping in contact with him. Made the agreement that if he ran on hard times I would watch Riley and Bog's brother until he got back on his feet. I couldn't have found a better home for her!! I really don't want to hear people bitch me out over my tough desision. With Spazz passing and all this other shit I just don't need it. I figured I would tell everyone what was going on....apart from everything else the two we have are getting along VERY well and that works for us.

I am so sorry to hear that, Megan. My thoughts are with you.

[DagoIgnog]

why did u give riley up? did u give up the new puppy too?

[kranfid]

I just hope you'll be okay what ever works for you

[OpVJokl8]

Just be glad you found someone you trust to take her! Hope all goes well.

riley re-directed aggressivly on me after she tried going after Peaches. Spazz was sick and I couldn't take the stress. I couln't have her trying to attackthe dog and dealing with all other emotions with Spazz. so I re-homed her. Spazz passed away lastnight at 10:50pm from internal laseration. ONE dog died and ONE was re-homed out of best interest for her. it became more stressful on me to keep her in this enviroment. Me and DBK are in contact with one another. as I said he is my new dogs Breeder and he has Riley so he gets to see Bogart and hear about his life and I get to hear about Riley and how her life is going. Bogart was brought here for Spazz and Peaches but Spazz didn't make it...we all thought she would. Mark is torn up over it and so am I.

I hope that clears things up.

[Afigenatjola]

What do you mean bogart was brought there for spazz and peaches?

[sobre]

It is my business alone and what the fuck does it matter now? Spazz is dead and she isnt coming back so get off my case and let it be......we are down to two dogs. they get along perfectly and it is staying this way.

and it isnt like I shoved Riley off on some brain dead idiot! I did my reaserch and found a fantastic match for her where we will be in CONTACT with eachother. he and I sat and talked for 4hrs straight about the dogs an bloodlines an shows. we talked about everything. he is VERY knowledgable with the breed so I coul rest easy knowing she is in the best hands she could be in. Riley MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!!!! I would kill anywone who hurt her in anyway.

[everlastinge]

Food for thought: If it is your business alone why come on the forum talking about it? You put it out there so now some people wanna know what you meant by something you wrote. That's all.

1. I can announce what has gone on. 2. I don't have to put a step by step MAP of my every day life. Do you want me to tell you when I take a shit or everytime I scratch my ass? you want details with that too? I re-homed the dog that was it..she went to a knowledgable home END OF STORY. I lost a dog lastnight I don't need people being snobby FLUFF loving wah babies. this is the real world and SHIT happens.

obviously if a dog doesn't fit your lifestyle you find it a home that does.

[DagoIgnog]

i am sorry about spazz and riley. i have had to pts one before for HA so I understand ur rehoming her. Hope everythign works out better

[royarnekara]

I know it is hard for you grieving Spazz and missing Riley, but you really don't have to be snippy about peoples comments. I saw no one here being cruel or bashing you. People were just trying to understand the situation since your post wasn't very clear about why Riley went to a new home and how Spazz died. Sometimes people ask out of genuine curiosity, an effort to understand or simply because they want to learn.

Is Riley fixed? I hope so since you rehomed her to your breeder friend.

What happened to Spazz? I mean, what caused his illness and caused him to pass when it was hopeful he would pull through? I haven't seen a thread about his illness so I am wondering. I probably missed it. I always ask about these things when someones dog dies that way I know what to watch out for with my own dogs.

I hope your breeder friend is a great home for Riley and an give her what she needs.
I also hope your remaining two dogs are healthy, happy and stable and remain that way.

BTW, is the remaining two including the pup from your breeder friend or is that pup coming home at a later date?

[Axxflcaj]

calm down a little.. I know this is a sensitive and emotional time for you...
truth is, no one got in your shit....
glad you found a good place for the dog, no problem with that at all....and sorry for your loss....
I have two dogs because two is all I want to give the time, effort and funds to take care of.. I like peace and calm in my home too....
I also like taking good care of my property and two dogs is all I feel that at my age and energy level I can properly care for....
so if two dogs is your comfort level, that is all you should deal with....sounds like a wise decision to me....

[ZanazaKar]

I am sorry for your loss of Spazz, I am so happy you found a great home for Riley, I hope we hear good news about her in the future. How are you holding up? I know how hard it is to let dogs go, just having to rehome a dog and putting one down a day apart. Don't let this stress you out, it will get better. It will just take time, breath and take this time to spend with Peaches and Bogart.

[Catieliecutty]

I am sorry for your losses.

I applaud you for recognizing and accepting your limits; that is often hard for people.

I agree that at this point, after all that has passed and your feelings about it; re-homing Riley was best for her. Riley needs an opportunity to thrive somewhere with a fresh start.

I am also happy for you that you have been able to create a situation that will work better for you; 2 dogs that are currently getting along should decrease your stress significantly. And as you said, you were under too much stress and it was taking a toll on you.

I would love to hear how Riley does in her new home. I wish all of you the best.

I just re-read Obed's post and I thought to add: I have 1 dog. I would LOVE to have more. 2 would be awesome; 4 would be grand. And maybe someday if I get to retire comfortably I'll have...at least my 2.
But for now, I know and accept that my life simply isn't set up in such a way to fairly give to 2 what they need in order to thrive and try to keep my own sanity at the same time.

You are def a strong person when I put Pluto down there was no way I was getting a new dog until a few months passed by and I cleared my head. Good luck with your new pup..

[xquFzpNw]

Sometimes things happen or stuff comes up in life, I understand your decision. I hope the best for you.

[luspikals]

Sorry that you are going through this trying time. And like others have said when you put things on a public forum be prepared for ALL replies. You open yourself up for that. Now with that said. I am glad Riley was able to get into a more experienced home. But food for thought. You do realize this is a breed the average pet owner can not handle. There comes more responsibilities with this breed. I have shared my opinion on your orbs thread. I am just wondering how many will you rehome for acting like a bulldog?

You are down to 2 dogs and one being a puppy who is what 10 weeks. You have NO idea how this dog will turn out and if they will get along in the long run. You can not train DA out.

[barsikjal]

Keep your head up sweetheart things will get better, you are doing the right thing.

[BodeOmissemia]

I am sorry for your losses. I have had to PTS for HA myself,so I know its hard losing a dog to aggression.Thankfully,you rehomed her with a breed knowledgable person,and I hope it all works out for the best.
I am also sorry to hear of Spazz passing away,its hard to lose young dogs/puppies. Been there,done that-never want to do it again.
