Doggie Dilemma

Kris and I are at a spot right now where times are though and money is tight.  We are considering giving our dogs away to loving homes.  I will be completely bummed if we do.  But at the same time, we would save a butt-load of money (monthly dog food bill is sky high!).

Here are the pros and cons with our dogs ~

Pros ~ Keeping both dogs...

  • Our best friends (aside from each other)
  • Always happy to see us
  • Always keeping us happy to see them happy
  • Fun to take to the park or for a truck ride
  • Great walking buddies
Cons ~ Keeping both dogs...

  • Way too expensive food and vet bills
  • Dog hair!
  • Our back yard is torn up 
  • Not fair to the dogs for being in a little house with a little yard




This here is Ian.  He's the big dog and the one who sheds hair all over, lol.  He may be blonde but he's very smart and knows lots of tricks.  No, I'm not putting blondes down... A lot of them happen to be smart, lol.  He is 8 years (I believe) and pretty calm... At most times, lol.









This here is Zoey.  She's the controlling one.  She thinks she's the boss of everyTHING, lol.  She chases her tail when she gets mad and she likes to sit on Ian.  She's the easy one to manage (baths, dog hair, pretty calm).  She is around 15 months old.







Now, we've thought about keeping one (Zoey) but I don't find that fair.  We would only keep her over Ian because she's easy to take care of.  Baths are easy, she doesn't eat as much, she's smaller... Kris and I got her together.  She's OUR dog.  Ian is Kris's dog from before me.  Ian is an awesome dog and pretty much turned into MY dog.  He follows me around and lays by me... It's so cute, lol.

So, that's our doggie dilemma.  Keep one, keep both or give them both away to loving homes...






Best buds!

  2. Thanks and I'm sorry to hear about your dog... Pets are family. We still haven't decided what we are going to do with them but I'm thinking we are most likely going to keep them since we keep avoiding the subject, lol. Then again, who knows.
