She's going to be great for wiping your hands on.

Well, after a month of trying to love this dog and failing, I guess we have decided to let him go live with my sister in law and niece.  They have always wanted a shihtzu, where I never did.  Also, Leah has terrible allergies and will only ever have a dog if it's hypoallergenic, like Atticus is.  Misty has told me from day 1 that she'd love to have him.  I wouldn't go looking for a home for him, but if they really want him, and we merely tolerate him, it seems like the right thing to do, I guess.

He's just way too high strung and has a little dog personality and he is incredibly annoying to me for these reasons.  I like him, and he's cute, but I don't love him.  And you all know how much I love animals.

I feel sad and guilty.

it's that damn peanut allergy that really did him in.

Lighten Up!   You found it a good home, which is a lot more than some people would do.

Exactly.  Better that everyone involved is happy rather than just fulfilling an obligation.

That's how I'm justifying it to myself.  I feel a little like I'm shirking responsibility, though.

He'll change!  Just love him and he'll change for you!

You're being more responsible this way.  Better to give a dog to a household that is going to be thrilled to have him, than just to tolerate him.

You'll do a lot better by going to the pound or something with Timothy and finding a dog you guys fall in love with instantly. 

I would have thrown Bruce in the dumpster about two dozen times by now if I didn't absolutely love him.  Dogs are going to test your patience now and then and it's kind of important that you still adore the dog, regardless of random weird behavior.

We went to 3 rescue organizations today looking for the right dog to adopt. Didn't find it today, but we're going back out tomorrow.

How lucky that that dog has a home either way, don't feel like you're a bad mother.  If the dog isn't the right temperament for the family, then nobody will be happy in the house at all.  I think that yorkies are perfect for us because of their behavior, energy level, size, hypo-allergenic, cuddleness and personality.  We thought about it for 6 months, looked into different dog breeds and such.  I hope you find the perfect dog for your family too BD!

If they don't realize that, you can always just skip a pill.
