I just had to make the most heartbreaking phone call and ask the breeder to take my dog back.
I have been unable to walk properly since the beginning of may and the doctors told me yesterday that they can't say when or even if I'll be better. My DH can do one walk with him each day and a big walk at the weekend but it just isn't enough for him, his muscle tone is lessening i think as after his big run on Sunday he was all stiff on Monday and Tuesday. (This is a dog who would usually be raring to go again after five minutes rest)
The breeder was most understanding on the phone and says we can visit him often.
I just keep thinking what if I get better in a few weeks and I've given up my boy? How in the world am I going to tell the children? They are going to be heartbroken.
I was thinking of maybe saying that he is just going for a holiday, will that make it easier? They are 3 and almost 5.
