So, that sucked. We returned Penny to the shelter. She would not go into the crate at all; and short of physically moving her into a panic

place, it just wasn't happening. We let her outside, she started digging near the fences.

Kelly stepped out for a minute, she ate a blind.

She's only gotten worse in the week we've had her; today, she was constantly underfoot.

We just reached the point where time is necessary, but we don't have enough time to not have any semblence of life. Being able to get the mail and trust she wouldn't eat the door frame is just too much.

Sucks, because she had all the hallmarks of a great loving dog.

:-( Sorry it came to this. Hopefully you'll find a great dog for your family. -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 20:58
it got a more than fair shot...figure out what kind of dog you want, contact a breed spefic rescue - zeitgeist Oct 8, 20:46 3
- I don't think we have a specific breed in mind. I just want a nice, happy, family-friendly dog. - kelly Oct 8, 21:10 2
  - family friendly I would guess also means family dependent, samoyeds, labs etc are very family sweet dogs but don't like being alone all day - zeitgeist Oct 8, 22:24 1
    - Well, I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I'm not planning to leave the dog home all day anyway. (Older dogs are fine with us, I don't really want a puppy.) - kelly Oct 8, 22:26

sorry to hear this -- nm - prayformojo Oct 8, 19:31
So sad, but she needs more than you're in a position to give :( -- nm - Meg Oct 8, 19:30 8
- I said to the folks at the shelter filling out her intake form, "She'll be a great dog for someone...just not us." and one woman stopped me and said, - kelly Oct 8, 19:34 7
  - that's just no liveable. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 8, 19:42
  - *hugs* that's so tough. (btw, I meant to add above that I understand your decision.) -- nm - b. Oct 8, 19:39 5
    - (I just realized I did say that parenthetical, geez brain.) -- nm - b. Oct 8, 19:56 2

        I know, right? heh. -- nm - b. Oct 8, 20:01
    - Thanks. I know they were putting her in a shared kennel with the dog (her daughter?) that she was brought in with. So maybe being together might calm - kelly Oct 8, 19:41 1
      - I know you guys tried hard. You can't live like that. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 8, 19:42
oh that's to bad. but understandable. -- nm - Remlik Oct 8, 19:27
