There is a looming decision to be made.
To keep her, or not to keep her. I've put it off for about as long as I can. The litter is scheduled to go to their new homes the first week of July.
CONS:
- I have FOUR DOGS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!
- We travel a lot.
- Twinkle is still angry about us getting Honey two years ago.
- I just finished raising Honey for her first two years of rowdy puppyhood and she is a sweet, calm, adult now, it would be hard to start over.
- There is way too much dog poop to scoop DAILY already.
- It is a big commitment of time and resources, and I am already stretched with all the kids and dogs and chickens and the yard and on and on….
- I just spent two months tied down to raising puppies and need a break.
- The little dogs and Honey are just learning to tolerate each other and not fight.
- Her hair is silky, not poofy and curly like the other pups, what if she grows up to shed???? There is no guarantee with a first generation golden doodle that they won't shed.
PROS:
- What is one more? We have a lot of land, and big areas are fenced.
- My adult son has an apartment here and watches animals while we travel.
- Honey doesn't have a pack of her own, since the Yorkies don't like her, she deserves a buddy.
- The grand fairies adore her. So does Ryan.
- THAT FACE!
- She is a very sweet pup.
- I'll have a big hole in my life and in my heart when the puppies are gone to their forever homes. Having a baby to keep will fill that hole back up again.
- When she was born, she almost didn't live, and I had to revive her.
- She is the softest, silkiest dog, and loves to be snuggled.
Sounds like the Pros outweigh the Cons!
The pros have much more love and affection and yeah…not going anywhere!
What’s one more? The girls love her, you love her and you saved her life! You have a caregiver you can trust when you’re gone, so, what’s the big deal? 😉 Keep that precious bundle of black fur!!
I hope you keep her… She wants you!
She is hard to resist!
KEEP HER, KEEP HER, KEEP HER, what is one more dog to take care of, you already have more and one more won’t be any more bother. If you get rid of her, you will probably regret it, and Honey does deserve to have a pal of her own. I vote to keep her, how could you not, just look how lovely she is, and she will fit right in, you don’t have a black dog now, but if you keep her, you will. Keep her!!
Oh my goodness! That face, she is beautiful! I agree with all the above comments!
She needs you. Keep her.
After watching the video of her getting put in Dewdrops bed, you have to keep her! I’m voting for you to keep her! And then we get to see her grow & play with those precious little girls! KEEP! KEEP! KEEP!
