Hi everyone,

Thank you for your kind words. Lina returned home to Kristin on May 30, 2009. My husband and I miss Lina very much, but we made the right decision giving her back to Kristin, her first family. It's a happy ending for our precious little girl.

Here is an update from Kristin, Lina's first mommy: My girl is home!!

I'm so sorry you had to return Lina. I feel your pain. At four months I took my little boy back and cried and cried. I thought I did the best thing for him. He was lifing his leg , which he learned there from another male uneutered dog. Unfortunately the home I took him to wasn't the best. I had visitation rights. LOL At 7 months I ask for him back. He wasn't being taken care of well at all. Not bathed, his bed wasn't washed in 3 months she had him and he had matts in his ears and poop stuck to his butt. I persisted as she did not give me my money back and finally I got him back with just his kennel and shot records, but worth it. He is a happy and healthy little guy now and momma is happy too to have him back. He was only worth stud service to her and she was going to breed him too soon. Puppy mill is what she was, it was all about the money.
Too bad. But glad I got him back.

I've had to re-home two dogs over the years, so I know exactly how you feel. You are lucky that she is going to a place where you know she will be well loved and well cared for. I was lucky, too, and found great homes for the two I had to let go. It doesn't make the parting any easier, but it does make the heart easier in the long term.

I'm so sorry that you had to part with Lina but I'm glad that her first moms able to take her back. I remember when you opened your home to Lina. Sometimes the hardest decisions to make turn out to be the right ones in the end.

Im very sorry to hear it didnt work out too. I totally understand where you are coming from, Mathew my 7mth whippet puppy is having to go back to his breeder this week too. Its horrible feeling like such a failure and wanting desperatley to try to make it work even knowing you will just make everyone miserable instead. Adam has started attacking Mathew, wether coz he is too big and threatening or just coz he doesnt want another boy around I dont know.
I know, like Lina, they get on wonderfully at times but you sometimes cant take the risk that they will blow up and seriously hurt each other..
At least she has another loving home to go to..
