Hi everyone,

Thank you for your all kind words. It is now 2.5 months since Lina returned home to Kristin. We miss Lina very much and have regrets every day that she is no longer our little girl. It broke my husband and my heart into a million pieces. We get teary eyed when we see Lina's photos and videos from Kristin.

Bella also misses Lina as her playmate, and still looks for her in our house. She loved playing with Lina and followed her everywhere, just like a little sister following her big sister. She would have loved Lina forever if only there were no dominance issues and escalating fights between them. Bella is quieter now because she doesn't have feisty Lina to hang out with and get into trouble together; they were "partners in crime." How could a little 4.5 pound blonde chi (Lina) steal and break our hearts? *Sigh*

I know how hard this must have been for you. I am facing very similar issues with Jerry and Tabitha. Last night I thought one of them was going to be injured. Their war has escalated...
You did the right thing for both the pups.

Oh no! I thought that since Jerry and Tabitha are siblings from the same litter and puppies of the opposite sex that they would be getting along with each other. I'm sorry to hear you'll have to rehome Tabitha.

oh, no! I am so sorry to hear that. Where in the US are you? was she around other dogs before?

I still get teary eyed when I think about the sacrifice you and your husband made for the happiness of both of those chi girls. I think of you often and hope that every day is getting better for you. I truly am sorry you're having to go through this, and wish I had some magic potion or the perfect words to make the heartache go away.
