understanding please if just from someone

We came back off holiday to be told the next day that one of our 3 terrier cross dogs had bitten the next door neighbour.
Then we got told by the other neighbour that another one of our dogs had bitten her.
Both our neighbours had been reaching over our property at the time they bit them.
Weve had dogs for almost 30 years and now cus we fear that our dogs could bite strangers weve paid for them to go the dogs home.
Omg im so ridden with guilt. But the dogs home have promised to find them good homes. I cant risk my grandaughter getting bit by them. Or anyone for that matter
Perhaps its cus we treated them like children,
What a dilemma this has put us through this week. Just when i felt i was on the mend this has hurt me so much that i cant sleep or eat.

Aww lynn,

How awful for you, and a brave decision, that must have been so difficult for you to do.
I totally understand why you did it and i would have done exactly the same thing. So try not to beat yourself up hun. you have done it for the sake of your granddaughter, you've prevented any harm coming to her and to me that makes you a bl**dy marvellous woman.

But you're entitled to grieve also.

Big hugs to you lynn

Am sorry to hear this, i know what its like when u lose a pet cause they r like part of ur family. Am sure the dogs home will take gud care of them like they promised. For what its worth i think u made the rite decision. I know u said they were always gud natured but sumthin must have made them react the way they did and u wud neva be able to live with urself if summat did happen to ur grandaughter. Keep ur chin up xx

Hi Lynn

That took real guts. I understand why you had to do it also. We recently got our dog from a dogs home and the vetting procedure was so maticulous, take comfort in this if you can.

Every time you see the little un, remind yourself you did the right thing xx

Chin up chuck, find peace with this now.

We had to take or dog to the canine defence league when we had no other choice. It was hard having to leave him as he was eight years old and we'd had him from been a pup. However, the place was fantastic, the staff were true dog lovers and it was full of happy dogs. Their motto is 'we never put an healthy dog down'. They ask everything there is to know about your dog and then they match it up to the perfect family. You can request to be able to visit the dog if you so wish (we chose not to - too painful). They keep you updated on how the dog is doing for about six months afterwards, ie, the family they are placed with and how they have settled in etc... etc..

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!
HAVE A HUG COS YOU DESERVE ONE

Hiya Lynn heres a big hug 4 u xx

I agree with Hope regarding maticulous vetting at dogs homes ....my auntie only has dogs from dog homes and she says its not just come in and take a dog they do make sure they go 2 good homes .

It was a very very brave and difficult decision 4 u 2 make ..but u have 2 think how would you feel if you kept them and they nipped yr grandaughter .

big hugs 4 u xxx

Thanks so much for your support and reassurance.
I havent been the easiest person to live with this week. Ive snapped and been nasty to my family. Its been so hard living with the guilt.
I was so happy and chilled on holiday and now my anxiety is back with avengence.
I couldnt look at my dogs on Tuesday let alone say goodbyeto them.
Sally was 12, Jack was 7 and jacks son Tyson was 4.
Its going take time to adjust to not having them around.

Hi Lynn.....

I understand how your anxiety would be so high with something like this ,what you have to think is that even a person without an anxiety condition would feel high anxiety so remember this is normal feelings and not unnecessary anxiety ..therefore you will get back to the chilled you with time .

Dont feel guilty m8 you did the right thing by putting your family 1st esp grandaughter .

Big big hugs
