With a heavy heart we took Smiley back to the shelter to surrender him.

He showed the staff first hand his people aggression issues and how fast he can flip from nice dog coming in for a sniff and then boom, going to bite you.

It hurts, but it was for the best.

you did the right thing it if doesnt work it doesnt work

Feeling sad and with no direction for now. We have talked about taking more than a year before even thinking of getting another dog.

you made the right decision

I will miss my lap dog. He would hang hang out on my lap for an hour plus at a time. I will miss that tremendously.

That is so heartbreaking, but for the best for all of you...as sad and difficult as it is.

When you are ready, your next dog will find you.

Awww. You tried. Really, you tried so hard. Sometimes no matter what, a pet just is not a fit for your family.

For me, I always rather have a new buddy right away, to help take away some of the sting of losing the other, help fill the void they left, and give love & happy thoughts. But I know not everyone is the same.

When you are ready, you will find a new companion to love.

HarlowHeslop: He was a Lhasa. Vet thought he was pure, but I think there was something mixed in.

geekmonkey: Yes, it would be good, but we waited 5 months when we lost one rescue then we got Moxie and had her for 10 years, she got to see Oregon but did not make the final move. We then waited nearly

7 months before getting smiley.

You'll know when it's time...or "your" dog will, and find you.

I know exactly what you're dealing with ..with the aggression. It's horrible

So difficult. Take care.

sniff

So sorry!
