2nd Dog Trial: Over
Sunday evening the owners of the lab we were thinking about keeping came by to pick him up. It just wasn’t working.
There was nothing “wrong” with the dog that we couldn’t fix, behaviour wise, but there just wasn’t any spark there. Now that he’s gone I realize how much extra frustration he was bringing me while I tried to work from home. It would have probably all worked out in a month or so, but given that neither of us has a “spark” for the gigantic lovable lug, it just wasn’t worth the effort.
Besides, there were another 2 homes ready to take the guy. If he was going to be put down, we’d have kept him, but since that’s not the case, we’ll let somebody else have a go.
