Getting desperate!

[Aitch]

Please don't just disappear on us though. Keep coming back and letting us know how you are doing. We want to support you through this. We all care about one another here as you may have noticed. Take good care of yourself and rest as much as possible in the mean time.

 

[Naya]

I think you’ve made the best decision for you both. As others have said, we are all here

 

[edzbird]

You really mustn't hate yourself. You are doing what is right for you and for George because you care. You are a good person.

 

[Lisa]

Agreed that you have made the best decision for you. Don’t hate yourself. George will be fine, the breeder will find him a good home. Try not to beat yourself up. You made a good effort with George but it was just too much to take on at this time in your life.

A lot of us here really struggled with our pups and seriously considered getting rid of them, but we all at least had an OH to help ease the load and get us through those first, tumultuous months. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to have a Lab pup when you're on your own, and you did everything right - you made sure that you had support - but unfortunately your support failed you big time. And if you can't afford to pay somebody to come in several times a day for George (let's face it, not many people could) then you're stuck.

Please try not to be too hard on yourself. George is still young and you've been a good owner to him during his time with you. He'll go back to somewhere familiar and won't be traumatised, and with any luck he'll be snapped up asap. I'm so sorry that you've been put in this position, but if anybody understands how and why you'd need to return a pup, it's all of us.

I will be thinking about and George on Sunday. Be kind to yourself, you have made a very difficult emotional decision for George. xxx

 

[Granca]

I’ll be thinking of you too. You’ve given George a good start and have then made a brave and well thought through decision.

Do keep in touch - and we’re here if the right time comes for you to have another lab in the future.

Awww......don't beat yourself up. You made a hard decision. Sounds like you really need to get your life back and get some calm and sanity.
(Sh)it happens.
You will probably have second (and third and fourth) thoughts about it.
George will be fine wherever, but you need to put yourself first, and you need to look after yourself absolutely as a priority or you will be good for nothing.
Stick around if you can. We are all dog-obsessed nuts but we are all realistic xx

 

[Stacia]

Don't hate yourself, you should love yourself for having the strength to make the right decision for you and for George x

 

[Lab_adore]

Sending big hugs down here in Australia too. Just caught up and feeling so very sad for you but it sounds like you have made the right decision. I could NOT have raised this dog on my own. George will be fine and hopefully one day when your situation is different you can try again. We will all still be here for you then and of course now

Hi all

Thankyou for all the messages of support. George was delivered back to his breeder early this morning, he was put in with her 2 girl puppies and he was loving it, didn’t even notice that I’d gone. I’ll text her tomorrow and see how he is. The lady was really lovely and said she’d sell him to someone who already had a dog so he would have company and not be on his own. She’s going to give me any money she gets for him which surprised me a lot.
She did offer me first refusal to rehome one of her bitches when she’s had her last litter which will be August/September time, she said it will give me plenty of time to get over George and decide if it’s what I want. My boyfriend however doesn’t think it’s a good idea, I honestly have doubts about it, but I’ve got plenty of time to decide yay or nay.
Anyway, I’m feeling ok, bit numb I suppose but I’m much relieved that it’s done now and I’m back to work tomorrow, I’m not looking forward to them all asking about him, but I’m going to tell the truth and they can like it or lump it, judge or not, I don’t really care what they say, I did the right thing for George and me
