Not The Best Of Days

Today after many months of knowing it had to be done, we called the breeder of our young Toller dog , to tell her it isn't working out for him with us. It has become a very stressful situation with him being very aggressive towards our other dogs. We wish we could put in down to jealously or food, but haven't been able to make any sense of it. Other than he just needs to be with people all the time, and gets frustrated if that's not the way things are. Being a working couple we obviously can't do that. She is happy to take him back and see what she can make of it. (this is what caring responsible breeders do). She has a waiting list , so maybe someone out there can give him what he needs, as he is quite a sweet fellow really. We feel we have failed him badly, but if we can give a chance of a happier life it has to be the right thing to do.

Oh and the other thing , came home to a $1700.00 fine for not turning up jury duty back in February. Nice surprise as this is the first I had heard of it. If I had known would have been there just for the money, if nothing else, as I wasn't working then. Not in the mood to knit.

Sorry to hear that things haven't worked out with your puppy :-(
Are you able to sign an affidavit to say that you never received anything regarding Jury Duty? That would not be a nice surprise to have arrive in the mail. Fingers crossed you can work something out!
