Thanks. I feel absolutely horrible about the dog and I really think he may be acting out because of it. I know he is very sad about it, but won't talk about it. The dog was very hyper. She was a purebred golden retriever with a TON of energy. It was getting to the point where she was mostly kept in her kennel all day because if she was out and that neighbor was around, she would bark at him. If she was inside the house she was all over and eating everything. It was way too much to deal with. It was like having another difficult child!! She wasn't getting enough exercise and I felt bad for her. difficult child would not go out and play with her or pick up poo and husband resenting having to pick up poo and take her for walks. It was just too much dysfunction - and then with all the complaints from the neighbor, we made the decision to sell her. I know it hurt difficult child and for that I feel TERRIBLE. He said you don't get rid of your family and she was our family. I feel like the worst Mommy ever!

[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 384814, member: 3930"] Thanks. I feel absolutely horrible about the dog and I really think he may be acting out because of it. I know he is very sad about it, but won't talk about it. The dog was very hyper. She was a purebred golden retriever with a TON of energy. It was getting to the point where she was mostly kept in her kennel all day because if she was out and that neighbor was around, she would bark at him. If she was inside the house she was all over and eating everything. It was way too much to deal with. It was like having another difficult child!! She wasn't getting enough exercise and I felt bad for her. difficult child would not go out and play with her or pick up poo and husband resenting having to pick up poo and take her for walks. It was just too much dysfunction - and then with all the complaints from the neighbor, we made the decision to sell her. I know it hurt difficult child and for that I feel TERRIBLE. He said you don't get rid of your family and she was our family. :sad-very: I feel like the worst Mommy ever! [/QUOTE]
